A crazy move!

Living with Mayu and Darcee this past year was a true thrill! We had so many good times together, and chances are there are still more to come in the future!
At the beginning of the school year, I took a few pictures of our apartment just for fun. When I was moving out, I also took some pictures of the apartment once it was empty!!! So here we have both sets of pictures to compare and contrast. I wish I had some pictures of the place in the middle of the year, because we really spunked it up compared to the beginning!!!! But here we have it: Home Sweet Home!

The Beginning

The End

(That probably wasn't very exciting, haha. But that's that!)

Nearing the end... but also a new beginning

Hello my lovelies :) Freshman year has been amazing! Making new friends, pulling funny pranks, late night episodes of spontaneous stuff, living "on my own", going to wonderful dances, and learning all sorts of fascinating things from school have all been parts of writing an excellent chapter to my life. Although it can be saddening to think of moving on, I am not afraid to say goodbye. I have always enjoyed trying new things, so it will be an excellent adventure to begin a new chapter to my life.
Yesterday, my roommates and I went out and took outrageously awesome pictures together! It'll be fun to occasionally look back on the pictures and remember the fun time we had taking them. I have attached a few of the pictures. Enjoy!

"The past year unraveled like a beautiful collage to hang on the wall. Despite the sorrows of saying goodbye, there is joy in knowing that we have memories locked safely in our hearts, and faith in knowing we will see each other again."

Festival of Colors!!!!

Today was probably one of the coolest days of the year thus far! The Festival of Colors is one of most amazing celebrations ever. Although this was only my second year to the event, I plan to go every year possible for the rest of my life!!!! (... at least until I become too old to handle the chalk filled air). I missed having my best friend at the festival this year, but I was able to have lots of fun with my roommates and friends from my student ward :) What a celebration!
Here are some pictures from the festival. I hope you enjoy them!
(The Festival of Colors takes place at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork, UT every year.)

Laugh

My roommates sister is spending the weekend with us, and I'll tell you what.... it has been an evening of laughter! I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard! haha. It's not like I have been depressed or angry lately, but I literally have not had a good laugh in a long time. Tonight definately made up for that! Haha. My roommate and her sister as seriously so funny! I don't know if it's because of the inside stories they told me, or just the fact that we were able to go off about random subjects for a long time... it was just hilarious! lol
I hope that you all can find the joy in laughter again soon! I mean, who doesn't want that kind of ab workout? ;)

Beginning the Day with a Special Little Something

Recently, I have been starting off my Fridays by making muffins for myself and my roommate. Although it is very early in morning and would be better of eating a bowl of cereal or makeing toast, the muffins seem to have a special meaning to me and my roommate. After a long week of school, homework, exams, and other exhausting events, the muffins seem to say, "You've done well this week. Make the best of your Friday, and have a great weekend!". Without the muffins, our Fridays wouldn't be the same. I find that the special little somethings that I do throughout the day help me find the joy in life so much more. So why not begin the day with a special little something?
