I thought that maybe I should start writing posts about my week, along with the cool experiences I have. Its always fun to hear about the life as a college student as it really is, not how everyone thinks it is.
Its crazy how time flies! It feels like just yesterday I was still living at home and letting my mommy do my laundry. I have been living on my own and providing for myself for a little over a month now! I LOVE it! I'm not even sure where to begin.....
Living without parents:
It is exactly what you think it would be like, no curfew, no food, and lots of friends and activities! The first 2 weeks were the best! We stayed up all night hanging out with friends and doing crazy things like rolling down giant hills in the middle of the night, and running around in the pouring rain, trying not to be struck by lightning! My roommates and I were always having movie nights with lots of treats and playing pranks on the neighbors! Then we realized that sleep it good for you and helps you do better on tests, so thins week I have definitely gotten a lot more sleep!
Living with roommates:
It is definitely different for everyone and I have heard lots of crazy stories about roommates, mine are super awesome! Once we all got to know each other and warmed up a little bit we started having so much fun! All 5 of my roommates are from Utah and are LDS, which is so great. We all have the same standards and are very active in the church so we all look out for each other and help each other make the best choices and become better people. They are all clean people so our apartment is never messy, its fabulous! I love them all and I am so excited to have so many more fun adventures with them!
AND LAST......
Dating:
Whats that?
Haha, but seriously... I have only been on ONE date. WHAT IS THIS?!?! Yeah, I know.
Anyway, pretty much things are going so great and I am having an amazing time in college! I am sooooooo excited have more awesome experiences and get more out of my college experience! Wish me luck!
Much Love :)

Mistakes Become Knowledge
Time flies! Its September! I have been living on my own for 4 weeks and have been at school for 3 weeks, and so much has already happened! Where do I begin?
BOYS, of course!
I made a goal to push my personal boundaries and step out of my comfort zone as much as possible. As a result I have met TONS of new people, its incredible! I am learning so many new things about myself and others and I am becoming more comfortable talking to strangers, is that a good thing? I have decided that boys aren't everything they seem, and there are always going to be guys that you don't get along with or don't like but sometime you just have to deal with it for the sake of your friends. Sometimes you will be rejected and sometimes you will have to do the rejecting. Is it possible to reject a guy in a nice way? I haven't met anyone significant (not that I'm looking), but I have been interested in talking to some very cute guys. I have been told that I have a flirty personality and that is not always a good thing, people get the wrong idea about you and make bad assumptions, when really I am just trying to be nice and get to know people. Gossip isn't something that we should ever have to deal with but we are only human. I think it is good to remember forgiveness and that nobody is perfect, put yourself in others' shoes and look at things from a different perspective. I'm glad that I have friends that will stand up for me and that care about me enough to watch out for me. Bringing me to my next topic, friends.
We all love friends, right?
Just as I mentioned before, I have been meeting so many new people and I am so excited for this year to continue to progress so I can continue to meet new people and get my name out there. One thing that I learned is that it never hurts to say hi to someone or to strike up some small talk. What do you have to lose?
My roommates are all fantastic, we are all different but we all get along so well! There is always at least one of them that want to go do something with me and I loving having them around to talk with. We are all growing up and learning all sorts of new things and it is so fun!
School, School, School.
All I ever hear about college is that it is so hard, scary, overwhelming, and exhausting! I have experienced the exact opposite! School is school, yes, but I love being on campus and meeting new people in my classes. The discussions we have in class are so much more mature and intriguing. Nobody cares if you were the cheer captain or if you were the most popular kid in school, instead their impressions of you begin the first time you meet. So far, homework hasn't been completely drowning me! I have been able to stay on task and keep up with everything. I have been busy, that's for sure!
College is treating me well and I am so excited to continue to grow and improve in all aspects of my life! Hopefully I can continue to meet new people each day and build relationships. Wish me luck!
Much love :)
