Junior Year

And so it begins....That been going through my head over and over again the past 24 hours. Today I watched my summer come to an end and school start. I started my junior year of high school today and all I can say is, I FEEL OLD! I never thought this day would come but it is finally here. It was pretty good and even though I have some hard classes I think it should be fun. It’s the year that’s to remember; it’s the year to party, study hard, learn lots, and make memories! My junior year I want it to be the year that I look back on and say, that was one of the best years of my life. So ready or not, junior year here I come!

Lady

This is who I call "Lady!" But as a matter of fact she actually is my mother and is the amazing lady that gave birth to me. She is such a loving and kind lady and todays her birthday! I'm so blessed to have her in my life and for her to cook me food, do my laundry, take me places, listen to me, and support me. She is pretty amazing and I love her! Happy Birthday Mom! :)

All By Myself

So yesterday it happened, I’m all by myself. I now am officially the only child living at home. Yesterday we took my sister Madison down to UVU to college. After moving in boxes and reminding her not to do drugs and to CTR we left Orem and I started life as an only child. I have to admit I hope I get spoiled but I’m nervous to see how my parents are going to treat me now. It can either be a good thing or a bad thing. Madison has been the sister where we fight the most. For the most part we spend our time at opposite ends of the house and get on each other’s nerves but hey we have our good times too. I loved going to school and knowing that no matter what was happening in between me and my friends I will always have her to talk to in between classes. She would support me in all I do and would spend her free Saturdays sitting on hard bleachers watching my dance competitions. Madison can crack a joke at the most random moments and completely make your day by just something she says. She is a celebrity stalker and spends hours on facebook and twitter. She is a pretty good listener and also if a boys a jerk to me, ya let’s just say she won’t be a fan of you! Madison will get mad at me for not bringing more apple juice upstairs or me hanging out with “her friends.” I guess that’s the joy of being the younger sibling is being the annoying one J Well good luck to college Madison and don’t forget about me either. Remember to scope out all the hot college men for me okay! Thanks for being such a great sister and always being there for me and supporting me! I guess next summer we will have to find the icecream man!

New Year...New Life...New Adventures

Picture this. It’s the first day of high school and you’re scared beyond belief. You open the front doors and take your first steps into the school where you will be spending the rest of your high school experience in. You see the administration’s office to your right and hope you will never have to step foot into that place, and to your left you see the counseling center with the councilors smiling ear to ear as they are optimistic about the new year. Straight in front of you, you see more people you could even imagine could fit into this one building. You have your psycho teachers hating how their summer is coming to an end. Your too cool for school seniors who are praising the fact that this is their last year, your emo kids under the stairs doing who know what, the creepy druggies who you just hope will never ask you to do drugs or be in their gang. In the mist of all the people you also have your cheerleaders and jocks, popular kids, band geeks, nerds and the list can just keep on going on and on. Today’s your first day as a sophomore and with the anxiety of being in a new school and starting a new year, you are also extremely excited because hello, you’re in high school now and you’re about ready to start the best years of your life!.....Well needless to say this was how I felt on my first day of school last year. As a Squashmore at Bear River I didn’t know what to expect as I started my year. Needless to say my sophomore year was one to remember. I ended up spending my fair share of time in the principal’s office and did end up going to the counseling center a couple times. I became friends with people from a lot of different groups and clicks in the school. I guess you can sorta call me a social butterfly. I love making new friends and meeting new people. Last year I was a Hi-Stepper and they are pretty much the best drill team EVER! By being a Hi-Stepper I learned so many life lessons, valuable experiences and moments that I loved and will cherish for a lifetimes. Last year I was also Sophomore Class Senator and loved every minute of being in student council. I would have to say being in that class would be the highlight of my day and a great way to start my morning off with a fun song and a random quote or object lesson. During the year I made a mistake and almost lost my chance of the privilege of being on Student Council but luckily I just managed to be on probation. But that experience I wouldn’t change for the world because it made me open my eyes and really realize the importance of being a leader, having trust with teachers and administration and really thinking through my actions. But with all the fun I had last year I had so much stress, worry, and trials that were sent my way as well. But this year is different, as I walk through the doors my first day of school I am a totally different person than I was last year. I decided not to do Hi-Steppers again this year for several different personal reasons; along with I was not reelected to be on Student Council again this year. So this year im going to go out, get envolved and have the time of my life.

My junior year I am going to start clean. I am not making a drastic change in my life but I am just going to do my best to be the best person I can this year. No more getting in trouble (Mom I’m sure that made you happy to hear, but I don't think I can change being talkative in class...Sorry :) ) I want to get into some different clubs and to just scream my heart out as I watch the different sporting events. I want to get out of my box even more and be friends with so many more people, try new things, get good grades and a decent score on the ACT. My junior year I want to do random and crazy things with my friends and just live my high school experience as best as I possibly can. So on August 29, 2011 it’s my day to walk through the doors of Bear River High School and start this amazing chapter in my life as a junior in High School.  You only have one chance to be in high school so I am going to love every moment of it!

One Step Closer to Growing Up

I'm one step closer to growing up. Today I started my first officially and real job! Well technically it isn’t my first job considering the fact I have been babysitting for years and I worked at an icee shack last summer but hey I started a job that will last longer than 3 hours or 3 months. I have a feeling it’s going to take me a little while to learn everything but I’m SO excited! So today was the day, I’m officially growing up!

The Perfect Summer Night

Yesterday was Wheat and Beat Days. By being on Garland City Youth Council I got the privilege of waking up early and helping with breakfast after the fun run, riding in the parade, sitting at the bounce house for hours watching annoying little kids, and got creamed in kickball! So after my long day in the sun I started my perfect night. I went to my dear friend Ryan’s farm and went swimming in the canal. I felt like I was in a movie because it was the perfect summer adventure. All because we had; perfect weather, music blasting out of Ryan’s truck, the coolest tree house in town to play in, a tire swing to swing in, a rope swing to jump into the canal and a bridge to jump off also. It seemed almost unreal how much fun it was and how much it felt like the summer adventure you always hear about in stories but never in real life. Then after swimming I went to the park and watched fireworks with my friends and even had an intense rock, paper scissors tournament. A perfect summer night? I think YES!

Girls Night

Every once in awhile me and my friends have a girls night, NO BOYS ALLOWED! Consider the fact that I’m sitting in my bedroom in the early hours of the morning with way to much energy to go to bed I would have to say tonight was a very successful night! Me, Sadie, Lexi and Madi took our journey to Logan for the evening. We went to Fire House Pizza and walked around Wal-Mart for a little bit! We then went back over the giant mountain to good old’ Tree Town. Nothing is prettier than the gorgeous sunset we had tonight and watching our cute little town slowly turn into night. I have to say I love Tremonton! We went back to Madi’s house and hung out for awhile then off we went home for the night. Sadie took me home and we sat in my driveway for a half hour just talking about everything! About what we want high school to bring and the worries we have with some of our friends! I love this girl to death and couldn’t have asked for a better person to have this huge conversation with of things that’s been on my mind lately! I love Sadie/Mosiah and couldn’t ask for a better friend who will always be there for me no matter what! All I can say is I love girl’s nights and can’t wait for the next one!
