young and reckless.

All of my blog posts are usually done when I should be doing something more important. In this case, I'm supposed to be studying for my baseball theory test and chemistry quiz that are BOTH tomorrow. However, I have somewhat given up on chemistry (yes. again.) and am now just in it to say that I finished the course. Hopefully that doesn't make me sound lazy and careless. I'm really doing my best in there. Because really, when I say I'm giving up, I'm just giving up on a good grade. Haha.

Anyway, I get to have lunch tomorrow with my wonderful friend, Mark Hargis, and his lovely fiance, Brittany Greenman. They have seriously become two of my favorite people, and I look forward to every other Tuesday now when I get to chill with them. By the way, Mark is a freakin fantastic photographer. This is his website--You should really check it out.

So lately, I've been feelin pretty burnt out. I blame school of course. Normally, I turn to my tumblr to break me out of that feeling, but lately that hasn't even done the trick. So, I started making a list of all the things I'm going to do when I graduate. Wanna hear some? Okay. Good. Cuz I was gonna share them with you anyway. (If you said no, this is where you would click the 'x' in the corner. And where I "unfriend" you on facebook. Really though, I would never do that. Just like you would never click the 'x'. Ha.)

ONE.
Learn to play the guitar. Like this fine fella. (I will never admit to liking Glee. Never.)

TWO.
Get better at piano. So I can play this sick song.

THREE.
Oh. And then I'm gonna learn to play the Ukulele. Like this kid.

That's it for now. I was gonna shoot for five, but it took to long to find appropriate videos for those three things. Maybe after I prepare some more, I'll tell you guys more. I gotta study some more. Here's one more video for kicks though. Something else I plan on learning.

What celebrity would you most like to meet in person?

this answer would prolly be different in a week, but right now my answer is james freakin franco. cuz he's a total babe and he just seems like a really chill guy.

pixie cuts and psuedo spring days

Well guys... it's been a while. If I made a list of my "most-used phrases" on this blog, I'm pretty sure "it's been a while" would be number one. I don't really know what any of the other ones would be.

I'm taking a break from my "apostalic theme paper" I'm supposed to be writing right now. I decided to do it on prayer. I just pray I get a decent grade. Ha.

It's been an interesting past few weeks. I don't really want to divulge because it's quite dramatic. But I'm going to attempt to sum it all up in one sentence: I'm basically single (dating but not seriously), and I missed several classes due to a super fun energy-wrecking illness, so school blows even more since I'm still catching up and failing to do so (literally).

I think that may have been a run-on? Oh well. That's why I'm not an english major. But sometimes I wish I were. Because I would SO much rather write papers and read books than study chemistry every day. I'm so serious. Good thing I graduate soon.

Sidenote: I'm listening to "Jamie Cullum" on Pandora right now, and it is just so superb. Definitely a favorite station.

Speaking of graduation though, I really don't know what I'm going to do. I have a few ideas and I'm gonna spit them all out at you hoping to get some feedback. First of all. Here are some places I want to move to: Colorado. Vegas. Cali. Tennessee. Tempe. Hawaii. Europe. Some of these are clearly comfort locations, but others are mostly because I love the idea of living there. Right now, Colorado is winning (Europe is practically tied, but the only reason I wouldn't is because I'm broke). Wherever I go, I'm just gonna find a job and work. Then when I'm ready (aka I have a decent sum saved up and my credit card is paid off), I'm going to do one of these things--travel Europe. Go back to school (to be a dental hygienist, physical therapist assistant, occupational therapist, photographer). The only reason I didn't put physical therapist on that list is because my grades aren't good enough for PT. I still would love to do it, but I just don't know.

Anyway, spring is on its way. I feel it. But Idaho has been so good as to tease everyone and their mothers with all these warm, almost-spring days. It's just rude really. But I endure! It started snowing again. Like a lot. It's pretty, but my longboard is sitting behind my door waiting to be used. And with each passing day I yearn to put on a pair of shorts and use that baby.

In the mean time, I have begun to occupy my time with some Mollys. In other words, I got some fish. It's against the Housing Rules here at BYUI buttttt what do I care? They're just fish. I named them Molly and Ebony. I know. Original. Molly is white and Ebony is black. My mom named the black one. They're fun. They have incredible personalities for fish. I'm telling you. Sometimes I think they're mad. But, like our good friend Alice says, all the best people are. I'm sure the same applies to animals. Molly was pregnant when I bought her. I found that out after I walked into my room one day and witnessed her chasing her babies around and eating them alive. Like I said. They're mad.

I have also found some new friends! Their names are DaNeil, Jasmyne, Casey, and Amanda. Me and Melanie hang out with them all the time. We even went streaking one night during a city-wide blackout. You guys keep that a secret though, mmk? Anyway, I'm convinced we all needed each other this semester. It was like a recipe for insta-best friends. Which is like...ridiculously rare. You won't find that on the food network either.

Okay lastly, I am considering cutting my hair off to resemble these lovely ladies:


So yeah. I'm so conflicted. Because it took me forever to grow out my hair, but I also would really love to cut it! I think it'd be cute. I might even color it too. Who knows. I DUNNO! :)

Happy end of February!
