My life as it stands ... :)

Well, I got a 2nd job working at Rogers, a grocery store. I now work 6 days a week, Monday-Saturday. And boy is it tiring. but I know I need to get used to working and going to school, cause I'll have to do it in college, maybe if I get used to it now, it won't be as hard when I go to college. I currently got my ACT score up to a 26 composite score. I really need it to be around at least a 28 or higher. I think I can do that if I study pretty hard. I'm busy preparing for college, and trying to figure out where to go. I really want to go to BYUI, but Utah State looks pretty good to me too. I am also looking at Weber State, and Boise State, I want to see whats out there, so I know my options. I am currently in class watching the movie "UP" so I decided to update my life a bit. I also am not quite sure whether I want to be a spanish speaking pediatric oncologist nurse, an accountant, or something else. I really just want to be a mom, but I need to go to college, and be prepared for life you know. Now days you have to be prepared for everything, so thats why I need to get at least a Bachelors degree, so if my husband doesn't make enough, or if he loses his job, or if he dies, I will be able to support my family. Time flies so fast. I have less than a month left of my junior year, and then I'll be a senior. I know from now on time will be fast especially in my senior year, cause I'll be so busy with 2 jobs, and taking 3-4 AP classes, and one concurrent credit class. I'm glad I'll be busy though, cause thats what college will be like so I am glad I have the opportunity to get used to it while I'm still living with my parents. I wish everyone to have a fantastic day! :)

College, college, and more college!

I have literally 5 minutes before the bell rings for lunch... so sorry if its short. College stresses people out to much! It costs too much, and it's not like anyone actually has that much money so I don't see why its so high. Scholarships... whats up with colleges thinking everyone out there is smart?! Really after my hard work unless I get a 30 on my ACT, than I can kiss a full ride scholarship away, which I think is frankly dumb. I have a 4.0 GPA, and will graduate valedictorian, but unless I get a 30 or higher, I can't get a full ride scholarship. Whatever. Also since I want to go out of state for college if I go to Weber State, Utah State, or Boise State, I have to pay an arm and a leg to go there since I am not a resident. So unless I go to BYUI then I am screwed. I wanted to go to BYUI anyways but thought I would look at other schools, until I saw the prices for out of state tuition! and since I don't have a 30 on my ACT, I can't get a full ride scholarship to those schools. Luckily BYUI isn't the same g2g bell rang

My Sister Getting Married

Well, as many of you know, my sister Chantelle is getting married. This is so very exciting... but also heartbreaking. It's strange how something so good can also be sad. I am overjoyous about my sister getting married. It's like unreal to me because growing up we always talked about how we were going to do this and that when we grow up and get married. I feel as though my life has been swept out from under me. We grew up so fast! I don't know why it hit me so hard, or why I was so shocked. But I realized that our childhood is over. Chantelle is my best friend in the whole world.. I couldn't ask for a better sister. God knew that we would be perfect for each other. I guess I feel like Zach is stealing my sister. I know that sounds mean but thats how I feel. I know we will always be sisters but once she's married things will change, because she'll have him now. It's just another step in life, but I didn't realize that her getting married would be so hard for me. I've had her by my side since I was born. I've never been alone... ever.. until last may when she left for college and I felt as though she took a part of me with her. Still I pushed on knowing that she was just a phone call away.
I didn't know what alone really was until Chantelle left, and we moved to Hazen. I didn't realize how hard it would be to have no friends, and my sister gone... the one that i always talked too... knowing that even if I didn't have friends I would still have her so it would be ok. Now she is getting married and I am so happy for her I am so excited I literally screamed for like 5 minutes when she told me lol. I am happy that she found her soul mate.... it makes me realize more than anything that I am growing up too, I'll graduate next year and go to college and soon be in the same place as she is ... and though I've dreamed of this since I was a child... for once in my life I want it to slow down... but I can't time is always moving and life is always changing. Her wedding has brought me more happiness than I think I have ever felt in my whole life, and I am thankful for that. :)
