scotty is a hottie

first of all, can i just say,

LIVE MUSIC JUST GETS ME.

it doesn't matter if it is a scotty mccreery concert in cedar city or a violinist in the subway of new york city, live music has a way of getting inside me and making my soul all kinds of happy. what i especially love about concerts is how they bring people together.

when you can get hundreds of people in the same room, 

high on the same music, 

 singing the same lyrics, 

it is PURE MAGIC.

last thursday i went to a scotty mccreery concert with some of my ladies and i'm still not over it. his entire career started from live singing (American Idol) so he was SO GOOD LIVE. 

like the close-your-eyes-and-melt-his-voice-is-so-dreamy kind of good.

i'm so glad a few of my friends like country music. i love theses ladies.

SEE YA LATER SCOTTY

psych i'm not a failure

soooooo they needed a person to do video so now i'm on exec council! woot woot.

it's kinda funny how life works out like that. HAHA can we appreciate my last 3 post titles for a second?

-i will survive

-i am a failure

-psych i'm not a failure

and that, my friends, is the cycle of my life. 

and through every step of that cycle i am grateful for my amazing family who always keeps the encouragement rolling in, and for supportive friends who understand that teenage girls heal through good[junk] food. life is cool. 

and d-hills, prepare yourself for some insaaaane videos next year!! cause i'm pumped!

and here are some cute pics of my pal emily that i took at a YCL overnighter (aka Youth Camp Leader overnighter--it's a girls camp thing lol).  I won't go into that interesting experience very much but lets just say that some of the highlights included watching inception, killing a bat, and straight SHREEDDDDING "wannabe" by the spice girls on karaoke with my homegirl em.

seeeee yaaaaaa

i am a failure

too often social media is a place plagued with sunshine and rainbows and butterflies and success and happiness. which, i mean, don't get me wrong, those are all great things, but here, on my little corner of the world wide web, i like to keep things reallllll... which includes the highs and the lows.

so i'm here today to talk about how i'm a COMPLETE FAILURE. 

not the kind of failure where I live in my parents basement and my only hobby is binge watching Netflix, but the kind of failure where you give 110% and see no profit... which in my opinion, hurts worse.

i ran for student council this week, and i really gave it my all.

i stayed up late working on posters and videos and leadership and my group project and i really really nailed my interview,

and GUYS!!! i walked out on stage during the assembly in front of the whole student body after they showed my already embarassing campaign video, ripped off my tear-away pants and told them to vote for me. like HOW LEGENDARY/EMBARRASSING IS THAT????

and I know after you watch my video you'll probably never read this blog again because of your complete embarrassment for me... but it's ok. because then sometime when your having a bad day you can just come back and read this post and remind yourself that your not the only complete noob in this world!! 

I'm right there with ya.

yes, I do hate myself.

yes, I will be living in a hole for the next month.

but don't get me wrong, I am SO proud of this massive failure.
IF YOU'RE GONNA FAIL, FAIL WITH FLAIR, amiright??

 I am SO proud of myself for trying. even though catching up on drop dead diva would have brought the same results that working my butt off did (aka no results) , I am proud of myself for giving it a go.

 [insert a bunch of Pinterest quotes about how failure is the first step to

success]

also, here are a couple things that I used in my campaign, so you too can enjoy the
fruits of my failure:-)

follow your dreams kids, no promises they'll come true, but still follow them!!! <3 kjp

i will survive

*cue i will survive by gloria gaynor*

i'm pretty sure if i make it out of this week with no major breakdowns, i can do anything.

i am running for student council, which basically consists of selling your soul to the administration for a week.

also, i'm pretty sure the guy at maverick is going to know me by name by the end of this week because COTTON CANDY SLUSHIES ARE BACK ERRRBODY.... and yes, cotton candy slushies are my way of coping, whoops.

requesting prayers and encouraging looks and
your vote if you happen to go to the great desert hills high school!!

also, can we talk about conference for a sec??
it was just what i needed, especially elder holland's talk. man, that guy just kills it every time.

peace love and blessings,
kjp
