A new experience♥

Holy moses!! Life has definately been crazy this past week!

For starters, I went south to St. George for orientation at SUU and to visit some friends. And while there I just partied and relaxed (which I definitely needed!!) and last night I had a new experience- a midnight run through St. George with Liz and Elyse. It was so different to the temperature here in Snowville where it would be fairly cold that late- it felt like it was at least 60 or 65 that late, but I loved the run! It was tons of fun, thanks for coming with me Liz!!

Today I had to ride the St. George Shuttle from St. George all the way to Midvale, where Aubs and Krish picked me up. And, WOW, was that an adventure in itself!! I met some, lets say, very interesting people, and learned more about drugs and addictions in that 3 hour drive than I have heard in my whole 18 years of existence... but after that I got to attend Warp Tour with Aubs, Krish, and Ash in Salt Lake City- it was AWESOME!!

Here is a shot of us at the concert, we were in the front right side!

Warp Tour was my very first concert, if you don't count Sean Kingston last year (which wasn't really a concert, more just being stupid with my friends, since it was free). Featured bands on today's date that are well known are All Time Low and We are Kings. We only listened to about one song of We are Kings, before heading to All Time Low so we could get super close. When we got there, we squeezed our way in and got clear up to about 3rd row in the middle- it was epic!! But holy cow, it was so hott- I'm sure I sweated about 10 pounds off!! We were squished so tight and everyone was soaked in sweat (yumm...). I learned one thing though- I HATE CROWD SURFERS!! Since I am tall, each one smacked me in the head SO HARD it was horrific, in fact I got so mad I through one guy done in the middle of everyone, and he just fell in the middle of everyone, not able to get up. I may say I felt quite accomplished! :) But it got so crazy that one surfer actually kicked the girl standing right next to me so hard, that the next time I saw her, her boyfriend was trying to get her off the ground and blood was gushing from the top of her head (everyone thought it was gross, but I was SO intrigued, I definitely think I should go into ER nursing!!) She was screaming so loud, it was crazy. But for my first concert, the craziness was awesome and I loved it!! The only parts I didn't like? All the smoking, drunks, and I guess, according to Aubrey and Krisha, lots and lots of weed and Hookah. I definitely don't like that part.. but I guess I am just a good church girl!! Here is a shot of us at the concert, we were in the front right side!

But, today I got to talk to Ashley and Krisha about their life at SUU, and it made me so so so excited to go!! It is going to be one big partay!! ;) Just kidding, I will definitely take my studies seriously, because my grades need to be GREAT since I have lots and lots of competition in the nursing department! And I am graduating with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing ON TIME!!

College, parties, studies, and friends.. here I come!!

Starting over..? YES.

Holy Cow!! This is so crazy...
Well, I have been wanting to start a blog for a LONG time.. so I felt now was as good a time as any!
This past year has just flown by.. I don't know what has happened!! It feels like just yesterday I was walking  in Bear River's front doors wishing I was starting college, not having to live through tortuousness high school days. Then, in an instant I'm sitting with my best friend, Abby Doty, at SUU orientation talking about studying abroad in Africa...(how cool would that be?!) But so much has happened since then, and I have grown sooo much! A little over a year ago I wrecked my car.. (yep I'm not too great of a driver), then during my senior year of High School Soccer I tore my ACL 2nd game into the season, my family moved to Kansas, I got a job at BRVCC as a CNA, I had to decide where to go to college and how to pay for it. It is crazy how when you wish life away, it literally flies right by!

Now, this fall I start my life at Southern Utah University with the bestest friends anyone could ask for, Abbatha and Lizz! It was so crazy seeing these recent high school grads at orientation and thinking there is NO way they are old enough to be there! Being at orientation made me about 100x more excited for my new life and all the new opportunities that will be out there for me! It makes me think, maybe I can start over and make a new me.. if that makes sense?

There are so many new things I want to try, thanks to my avid running friends!! I want to run a 5k, 10k, and hopefully a half marathon someday!! I want to live a healthier, happier life where I am happier with my self and have a better self image! And something else I am DEFINITELY going to do soon with Abby and Liz; a study abroad program in which I can help in orphanages in South Africa.. How AMAZING would that be??? Definitely best experience of my life I think.... 


College has basically opened the doors for me! There are so many opportunities out there that I didn't even knew existed!!! This is my chance to start over, build a new me and have the BEST time of my life!
