college (at byu) makes me..

  • say: "A 'D'.... I passed!!!!" -Tommy Boy
  • feel so insignificant
  • become independent... i don't like it
  • miss my mom's home cooked meals
  • hate dance parties
  • bored of myself and my own thoughts... because i'm always by myself
  • realize my vocabulary is soo soo soo small
  • miss rehearsal at The Dance Club
  • wonder why people loved freshman year so much? if fun=school work maybe my priorities are set incorrectly
  • add more and more to my list of missionaries i'm writing
  • concentrate extremely hard to try to understand my professor's language.. there's no way thats English!
  • miss my LEGIT 6 (madison call, kayley gardner, emily julian, kelli davies, regan bailey)
  • constantly consciously think about what i am eating
  • CHERISH dinner time at the Cannon center.. it's my only social hour of the day
  • vow to never show pda ever again. ever
  • lose hope that there is someone for me out there..
  • stress about what my major will be
  • have a constant radar for cute boys.. and then check for a ring
  • feel like a dumb blonde
  • appreciate the easiness of ohs
  • make my bed
  • wonder what my life has in store for me
  • miss performing at high school events with my ODC and just be able to dance for a teacher who i knew loved me and thought i was a good dancer.. my 'haven' and the place i could just not worry and dance!
  • forget my self-worth when i walk out of the testing center
  • realize that i have to grow up whether i like it or not.
a close friend always reminds me:
 "second star to the right and straight on till morning." -peter pan

but i'll still try..

it's at the BYU Marriott Center
apparently it's the biggest ballroom competition in the nation
people come from all over.
these people are insane...ly amazing!
