Growing up is hard to do....


This past week has been interesting to say the least....
I've learned things that will last for a life time
Lessons I've learned
1.  God loves me
2. Always do what you know is right and screw the consequences
3. I have some really awesome friends that put up with my frustrations
4. Silence is not always the right answer
5. People change, not always for the better, but you have to let them make their mistakes
6. I am not in control
7. I can do hard things
8. I can make new friends
9. Service makes you happy
10. Our decisions affect those around us whether we know it or not


No one gets through life without a fair number of trials. Although we’d all love a trial-free life, in truth, it is through the trials that we experience our greatest growth and learn who we really are. They make the good times better, because
 we know good times are not promised at all times. Thomas S. Monson
 
"At times some may think that no one cares--but someone always cares! Your Heavenly Father will not leave you to struggle alone, but stands ever ready to help." Thomas S. Monson


I'm so excited for conference this weekend.

Loving the Single Life!

" You’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you texted too much or too little or waited 33 minutes to respond because he took 23. It’s not because you met up with your ex that night at 5 a.m. that no one knows about, or because you kissed another boy after a date with a loser. You’re not single because you spit food on that date or tripped coming out the the movie theatre. You’re not single because you hurt your first boyfriend really badly when you were 15 or because you have yet, to this day, to apologize. It’s not because you were secretly jealous when your friend got a boyfriend or that a guy you dated for two months now has a really cute girlfriend and looks really happy. And you’re happy for him. But still ill that he found someone before you. You’re not single because you slept with your ex boyfriend. You’re not single because half the world found out when you didn’t even want to remember it yourself. You’re not single because you think the guy your frien

Baby Steps....

The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic...and it's only gonna get worse as the semester comes to an end. I  just need to take things one small step at a time and hope for the best. I know it'll work out eventually.  Graduation is basically a month away!! I can't believe it! This pass week I've been a BYU/UT-hater, so I'm going make a list of the things I love about BYU. 1. Great people: from my professors to my best friends, people at BYU are for the most part  good examples and great to be around. 2. School Spirit: Go Cougs!!  3. Great environment: clean campus, friendly people 4.  Nursing Program: I loved learning the Healer's Art and mixing secular knowledge with spirituality 5. Devotionals: I have learned many things I want to apply in my life 6. Mountains: Although they are not green like the ones in HI, the mountains in UT are still pretty to look at 7. FOOD: Bombay House, Shoga, Guru's, Zupas, Cafe Rio...the list goes on and on 8. Profess
