21. Reflection

This has been a great assignment for me to do for this class. It has been fun to keep a blog and I think that I will keep this blog going. It has also helped me to realize that I need to keep a personal journal. Rereading my blogs, it has helped me relive my memories in college and how it is so fun to read back through my blogs and re think about the fun memories I wrote about. I thought this was a great idea to do for a class, I really do appreciate doing this assignment. It has helped with writing and I look forward to keeping it up!

20. Cannon Center food

So I have decided that sometimes the cannon center food can be so friggin delicious. But sometimes, I don't even know what the food is. Don't get me wrong it is good food for a college cafeteria. It just is not the same as a home cooked meal. The one meal I love in the cannon center is the breakfast. They have the BEST omelets. They also have the best chocolate milk EVER!!

19. Skype

So, one thing I have discovered in college is skype. I seriously have decided this is one of the sweetest things in technology. It has been so nice to actually see my family and talk to them like they are actually there It has also been nice to see my friends and talk to them. It is amazing how far technology has come.

18. Rick Millett


This is seriously probably the sweetest guy I have ever met. He is the best person I have met here at BYU. I met him actually two weeks before I came out here to BYU and then we ran into each other at New Student Orientation. Ever since that first night that we started talking after New Student Orientation, we have either hung out or talked on the phone. This guy has seriously made me feel so important and he has made me feel like I am so important to him which really does mean a lot. He has understood me so well and knows so much about me within such little time. He has became one of my best friends and I feel like I can tell him anything and just be myself and he will still just laugh and be understanding. He is nice to everyone and always thinks the best of people. He always looks at the positive side of people and is overall a genuine guy. He always does what makes me happy and does so many funny things that puts a smile on my face. This guy is my boyfriend, Rick Millett and he is awesome in every single way!!

17. Friends


One thing I have realized since I have been here is realizing who my good friends where at home. I had a really fun graduating class and all of us were really close. But I also did realize that I do not keep in touch with all of them. The three friends people that I keep in touch with the most are my three best friends and my sister, Jehan, Shelley, and Taylor. We were all basically sisters. We all swam on the same swim team, and saw each other almost everyday. We were there for each other through the hard times and the best times. Swimming was the biggest part of our life for all of us. We all had goals and that was to all swim at Division one colleges, and we all succeeded. Jehan goes to Nebraska, Shelley goes to San Diego State, and Taylor goes to Rutgers. All of us were so close, and we all did everything together. We have still been talking a lot and it is so good to see them over break. It has also amazed me about all of the sweet and fun people I have met here. It is crazy how I just got here four months ago and I have made great friends that will probably last me a life time. It is crazy how many fun and awesome people you can meet in your life and how many of them stay with you.

16. My Family


So I know that everyone says that they have the best family but I honestly can say that I have the best family ever!! I have so many people in my family, my extended family, and my mediate family is awesome. Now I have a different type a family that a lot of people I know don't have. My parents are divorced, which has been very hard for me through out my whole life. Although they split when I was two, it has been hard to deal with seeing two different families and spending time with each of them for the same amount of time. But they both remarried and now have plenty more children. My mom remarried my step dad, and they had three children, two girls and a boy. Chandler, Elle, and Hogan. My dad remarried my step mom and they had five children. Three boys, and twin girls... Seth, Gage, Savanna, Rachel, and Jace. I am the only one that was born with my mom and dad, all of my siblings are half. But it really doesn't matter to me, they still feel like they are my full brothers and sisters. I honestly could not have asked for a better family. Both of my step parents have treated me like I was their own child. I have just realized that I have such a wonderful family and they have done so much for me. During this Christmas season, I have just been thinking of all the stuff that I am thankful for and my family keeps popping into the picture. I love them so much.

15. SNOW

SNOW!! It is my all time favorite thing ever! I am from Colorado so of course I love snow. I love to snowboard, ski, go sledding, and play in the snow. The cold is so much easier to deal with when it is snowing outside. It is so pretty and white and it just looks like the Earth is so clean. Now, in Colorado, there have been three snow days! So, I for sure miss the Colorado snows, but the snow here in Provo is also so pretty. I really don't think I could live anywhere where it didn't snow. Having snow during Christmas time is also so nice! To me, Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas unless it is snowing. I don't know how people can live in a place where it doesn't snow over Christmas time. The snow looks the prettiest when it is snowing in the mountains. To me that is seriously the prettiest site ever in my life! Just looking at the snow made me want to write a blog about it. :)
