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."

President Samuelson

This week, Club Style (the hip hop club I'm in at BYU) performed at the last forum of the semester :) After the program was over, one of my dear friends, Mimi, and I had the opportunity to shake hands and speak with President Samuelson. I have only heard good things about him, and I can confirm that he is an amazing man-- very friendly and courteous towards others. What a day that was :)

Birds Chirping, Fluorescent Sweaters, and Ladies in Hairnets

The bathroom can be a curious place to be... This morning, I didn't feel like getting up on time, so I ended up bringing my straightener and make-up to school so I could get ready for the day AFTER my first class (what a brilliant plan!). While I was getting ready in the bathroom, I had a few interesting experiences.
The First: I was doing my hair when from one of the stalls, I heard this angelic song start playing with birds chirping... it was a beautiful song, but I couldn't help but wonder "Who is playing music in the bathroom stall?" and "What is this song?". Well, the girl turned out to be really sweet and we struck up a nice convo when she was washing her hands. I never asked her what the song was, but I was glad I could hear the birds chirping :)
The Second: Not long after the first girl left, another girl entered the bathroom. I'll tell you what, she had on one of the most nice sweaters I have seen! It consisted of very bold colors (red, purple, black... maybe some blue and yellow). I loved it! Well, we struck up convo about the sweater while she was washing her hands, and it turns out that she got it in the men's section of the H&M store in England. Although I have shopped at that clothing store, I am sad to say that there no such store in Utah :( But hey, I was still happy I got to behold this nice sweater.
The Third (and Last): Again, not long after the second girl left, another woman entered into the bathroom. While she was washing her hands (of course), we started talking-- not necessarily about something awesome, but just about the whereabouts of the Benson building. Once we dertermined its location, she left. Kudo's to her for wearing a hairnet! What a lady.
So those are my interesting experiences that really did happen, all within 20 minutes I believe. So don't underestimate the cool things that could happen in the restroom :)
(Let's see if we can get an H&M store in Utah!)

The Power of Teaching

Today, I am really appreciating teachers, and just how special they are. With both of my parents as teachers, and my major being elementary education, I have a deep appreciation for everything that teachers do. Not only do I love the influence that they have, but I also love the little things that have to do with school. Apples, freshly sharpened pencils, the smell of a new book, colorful decorations.... what a fun and creative environment!
