A New Year

Yeah yeah...I know no one reads this blog, but I still should be doing a better job at keeping a blog than what I am doing. So here is to a new year!

I have made it through my first semester of college. Oh what a CRAZY semester it has been! So here is a basic overview of my first semester at BYU:

1.I got pretty good grades-All A's, with one A- and one B+. I consider that good- hopefully I can keep it up this second semester as I am taking American Heritage. American Heritage is know to most Freshman as the worst class in the world. People are happy when they get over 50% on the tests. Sound like fun? Yep-that is what I am entering into.

2. I have made the most amazing friends. I am not going to deny that there has been some major drama between some people, but I still have met some of the best people I have ever met. I have been loving almost every second of my first semester because of these people. We have had some fun times having hot chocolate, tim-tam slams, and going out for toasted PB&J (which sounds really gross, but it REALLY GOOD!) It has not been about the big things, but the little things that we have done together that have made our friendships what they are.

3. I got to meet David Archuleta. If you know me, you know that I LOVE David Archuleta! It was so fun going to his signing with some of my friends. We had to stand in line for hours, but it was completely worth it! I got to talk to my idol for about 0.5 seconds, but it was worth it. He is going on a mission now, so this may be the last time that I would get to get my CDs signed and such. I am glad htat I was able to be so close to him and fulfill one of my greatest wishes. :)

4. I have joined Divine Comedy. Divine Comedy is a comedy group on BYU's campus. I have become the new assistant stage manger. I have only worked one show week so far, but it was so fun! I am nervous and excited, but I already have met some amazing people because of it!

I have made it. I survived my first semester of college! If you would have asked me the first week of the semester if I would make it, I don't know what answer I would have given you. To be completely honest, I was so homesick. In fact, I marked 3 weeks on my calendar. If I was not happy by week 3, I planned to get on a plane and go home. I stayed-so that tells you something! :) It has been a crazy semester. Sometimes I wonder how I made it through. As I am entering into my second semester, I realize that it is time to make some resolutions. One of my resolutions is to write on this blog more often. I don't exactly know when or how often, but it will be more often.

Anyway-this post is already too long. As I leave you, I promise I will be back soon. Here is to a new semester!

Answered Prayers

To those of you who heard my testimony today, I apologize that I am repeating myself. This is an experience I just needed to write down for myself. Let's rewind to Monday night. I hadn't been feeling all that great. I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before. I just was ready to go to bed. I told myself that I would come home from FHE and go to sleep. I was in my pajamas by 8:30- crazy for a college student, right? One of my friends dropped in for a visit. After she left, I had one of those moments where I just felt completely alone. I went to my room and prayed when a few simple words came to my mind. "Heavenly Father, Are you really there? And do you hear and answer every child's prayer?" These two lines from the children's primary song were stuck in my mind. In the moment, it is easy to doubt that Heavenly Father answers our prayers. How can He really hear every single prayer around the world? How can He answer every single one? It just ...

Our Story (Part 2)

Our Story:  Starting Our Relationship Part 2 of 2 Kindred Dead Show (1 month into dating) Our story was a little different than most, but I love it that way. I left off where we were just friends. When I say that we were just friends, I completely mean it. I didn't have feelings for him, he didn't have feelings for me. We both had moved on to other people. Life continued to move forward. As I said before, Gariet helped me through one of my hardest times with depression. He helped me when I just needed a friend. I needed him more as a friend than anything else. Meeting Gariet's Family We both went home for winter break. Gariet knew that I was worried about this because of everything that I was going through at that time. He stood by me, even though he forgot his phone in Utah. He would send me Facebook messages, iMessages, and called me on Skype. I started to realize that I still had feelings for this crazy boy. I kept denying it. I couldn't like...

Suicide Prevention Week- Accessing Christ's Atonement for Spiritual and Emotional Help

I have been meaning to get a blog post written as soon as I read that it was Suicide Prevention Week on Facebook. I love the publicity that this is getting now, verses a few years ago. I think that by being open about talking about suicide, we are preventing a lot of suicides from happening. Why? Because that teenager or adult that doesn't understand what they are feeling now sees how to get help. They see that they shouldn't feel embarrassed or ashamed, but that other people feel this way too.  I have talked about my own thoughts of suicide before, but today I wanted to share some hope. I absolutely cringed when Robin Williams committed suicide and everyone kept saying that he was "free". Yes, he had fought a good fight, but I was so scared of it encouraging others to commit suicide to escape because they wanted the same freedom.  Today, I want to share something that I shared with a family member before about how to use Jesus Christ's atonement to receive sp...
