tune

music can make you feel any emotion, it can take you back to a moment, it can make you look to the future. sitting here listening to my music on shuffle, each song that comes on i think of a new memory. whether it be what i was thinking while listening to the songs, where i was driving, what i was doing, who i was with, who i was thinking of, things i want to experience, wishes. anger, saddness, happiness, love. talk about a trip. out of the 75 songs that have played since i turned on my shuffle yesterday i havent past one that didnt have at least one strong memory. who knew i had a journal sitting in my music library. now i just need to write them down.

examples: 

glitter in the air: pink

this song puts me driving by Eaglewood golf course driving home from work during a huge rainstorm. i remember this because i loved how the piano in the music made the rain sound even louder, gain like some serious beets! haha i also remember this day because i had taken the ACT earlier that morning, and that night was the first night we ever went to a graveyard for fun...(we were weird) haha. 

mouthwash: kate nash
this song reminds me of freshman year driving up forth south from del taco at like eleven o'clock back to the dorms where we would eat then wake up for class at 7:45am. i also think of this song, or this artist as the artist of winter break 2011. i at least listened to all of kate nash all break long. it reminds me of christmas time, and snow, and jazz games, sushi. haha i dont ask.

perfect: simple plan
i think of this song as fifth grade. this girl at my dance had a solo to this song and i was absolutely obsessed with it. i wanted to know that dance, it had so much emotion and as a ten year old girl i was surprisingly dramatic. after i got the DVD with all of our performances i watched her dance over and over again until i had the dance down. still to this day if i had to dance for money i would choose that song and do that dance. id win big $$$ its that good.

on my own: leah michele
i love this song, bought it my junior year because i had a thing for glee. i remember belting this song as i was driving home from a good friends house down in west bountiful after the opening ceremonies of the 2010 winter olympics. i remember just this winter when les mis came out i fell back in love with this song i would sing it to my self over and over again at work til someone would come up to me and say "HI!" oops. i love it because its my life, a large part of my time, the boys change over time but this song just gets me. also i think my steering wheel enjoys its life when i sing this song to it. again its that good. also saw les mis 3 times but im down to see it 3 more.

i love it: icona pop
okay so this song is new and whatevs. but it reminds me of driving by phi delt and MB saying what song is this and us pretending like we liked it in british accents of course, the few snapchats of this song that MB sent me while i had the iphone 6 and was in las vegas, it reminds me of the drive to provo to pick up the ice cream for scoop a dish, it reminds me of when the sigs gave us the speaker for wish upon a rock star and we were having a CHIO dance party on the main floor, the 9000 snaps i sent the world when i got the iphone 5, and the tons that i received back. im sorry if you hate it but this song was the song of spring 2013 and i am still not sick of it. i will crash my car into a bridge, put my sh!t into a bag and push it down the stairs, and guess what i still wont CARE I LOVE IT. 

This was fun! and i will def be doing this more often.

present patience

time

how quickly a year goes by. i look back at where i was a year ago and think of all the choices i made since then.  i switched my major, i began my program, i lost some people and gained some friends. for so long i have wondered if i am doing whats right and if what i have done is making a difference. all that i know is that every night when i go to bed if i can look and see one thing i did that made a positive impact on someone else's life that day then i will sleep happy.

this past week was anything but easy. parents were out of town, my beautiful phone fell in a glass of water, and i was not happy with some of my relationships.  my best friend MB brought me a LARGE-A diet coke, a donut, and some cookies with a little note that said "because sometimes life is not so sweet." we sat and watched movies and talked all night long.

it was so great to know that even when i feel like im falling apart my best friend is there to help me with all my dumb problems. i am so grateful for her act of service in my part because it really did make me feel so much better.  AND the best news of all my beautiful phone soaked in rice for two days and WORKED!

also MB and i decided to be creative and bought a 48 piece set of chalk and drew all over this ball wall... it was so relaxing and fun even if we did get caught in a hugh rain storm it was so fun and the pics turned out A M A Z I N G!

ring

when the moment you waited for, for such a long time doesn't turn out the way you want it to ... well that moment sucks.   but one has to know that there must be something bigger and better out there. there must be something even better then your dreams.

i wear three rings at all times the rings represent...

1. love: the love i have for my family, and the love that is waiting for me.

2. friendship: true friendship stands the test of time.

3. dreams: always strive for something, otherwise your life will be stagnant.

4th
