days seven and eight.

Day seven: What is your dream job and why?

I want to be an Anthropologist. No, not an employee and Anthropoligie. An Anthropologist studies humans. Humanity, the way humans behave, cultures and evolution. I am fascinated with people. I love psychology and I want to find out why humans do the things that they do. I also would love to work with and study people.

Day eight: What are 5 passions you have?

1. I have a passion for life. I love life, despite the bad and the ugly. 

2. I have a passion for good music. Right now I'm really into Muse and Mumford. But I always love Mumford.

3. I have a passion for creating things. Music, art, crafts, anything.

4. I have a passion for writing. 

5. I have a passion for laughing. And funny picture. Like this one:

day six.

I seriously love Computer Tech. We do about 30 minutes of work, and we get an hour of free time. It's very nice for pinterest and blogging.

So.. Day Six.

What is the hardest thing you've ever experienced?

I'm trying not to sound so "woe is me", but I've been through some pretty hard things in my life. So, here we go.

In ninth grade, I had three people that were close to me pass away. It was so hard. I cried every night. I once cried so much that I almost threw up. I was depressed, and life was stormy. This was also when I didn't have a best friend, and I felt so alone. I was dumb, and didn't realize that everyone in ninth grade was going through the same thing as me. I could've leaned on them, but I didn't. I wasn't leaning on anything. I had fallen down. I wasn't motivated to do anything. My grades slipped, my social life died, and I was miserable.

I know now that I wasn't alone. I had God on my side. I had my family, and I had friends. I was just so confused and I didn't know what to do. But I know that those people are in Heaven, happily living with God and dancing around and looking down at me and are yelling at me to stop being so stupid. I sometimes picture all three of them eating food and talking about all of us still on earth. And laughing. I think they laugh a lot.

I try not to think about when I was so miserable, and when everything was so bleak. I still suffer from random mood swings, and I've become more closed off since this happened. It's okay though, I'm getting through this.

 

day five

Day 5: what are the five things that make you most happy right now?

list? yes.

1. This song

2. the fact that i have no homework that I have to do tonight!

3. this picture

 

4. the fact that i was going to go work out, but then i decided to eat a microwave dinner in my sports bra and spandex instead. so motivated.

5. sneakers with skirts. so quirky, yet so adorable.

I love it so much.

autumn.

I love fall. I love the scenery, I love the football games, I love the clothes, and I love being able to wear sweats without dying of heat stroke.

But mostly, I love that all the plants that I'm allergic to DIE.

Anyway. Today, it was rainy and cool. So I decided to break out my new rainboots! With my santa monica sweater and a sock bun, it was a lazy dress day. Seriously. I bet my whole outfit cost about $30 bucks ($20 on the boots, $10 on the sweater, the jeans from Kailee). I'm real fancy like that.

So after going to school and "learning" (not that I remember anything that I learned), I came home to an empty house and a cinnamon-y, fall-ish scent in the scentsy. So I decided that fall is near and I'm excited. And that is what reminded me of fall and that is why I'm blogging about it.

random story before I go on with this blog challenge thingy. we found a spider the size of my palm in the basement. not even lying. eww.

So. Day 3.

Describe your relationship with your parents.

My mom is my best friend. She was there for me when no one else was. She knows every single thing about me and she still someone manages to love me. She always puts up with me tagging along with her. You probably think I'm a loser because my best friend is my mom, but quite the contrary. It's awesome to have a best friend who can drive and who will buy you stuff.

My daddy is my hero. He is the one person that holds me together when I'm about to fall apart. I love him so much. He is my role model.


(I wrote that post yesterday. So now I'm doing day 4 since I have free time in computer tech! =D)

Day 4. list ten thing you would tell your sixteen year old self if you could.

since I'm that that age yet, I'll name ten things to tell my seventh grade self.

1. don't be afraid to be yourself. put yourself out there.

2. laugh as much as you possibly can.

3. pay attention in class.

4. not having a best friend won't kill you.

5. boys are dumb.

6. don't worry about how dumb jr high is. high school will make up for it.

7. find good music.

8. read your scriptures.

9. say your prayers.

10. tell your family you love them.

I know. I'm really deep.

and just for giggles...

Day 2.

Just got home from school... my brain is fried and I need to relax with my lovely laptop. So here is day two!

Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.

1. fish. not sharks. fish. Not the little goldfish in your tank on your desk. those ugly big fish that are grey and have gigantic eyes. I've been afraid of them ever since we got a boat. We once went boating at Pineview, and the day after I saw a picture of the fish in the lake on the news. It was a picture of a little boy holding this normal looking fish, but it had foot long purple fangs. I couldn't find the actual picture to show you, but looking through those photos seriously gave me the willies. And now I can't go in the fish section of the pet store, and when I swim in a lake I'm so scared a fish will come up and bite my foot off. 

not actual photo of the fish on the article. but seriously. this scares the crap outta me.

2. running over a cardboard box with someone inside of it. Laugh all you want, but seriously. Whenever I'm driving and I see a box in the middle of the road, I think to myself "Don't run over that. You may kill a child hiding underneath." It's totally irrational, but it is what it is.

3. losing control. this is the biggest reason why i suck at skiing. I can't just let myself go down the mountain. I always, always have to have control. always. this is very annoying to most people around me. most people think I'm showing off when I try to be a leader, but I just want it handled. I hate chaos and unplanned things. I am not flexible in scheduling. When I set my mind to a certain event happening, it will happen my way. it's probably my biggest flaw. 

I survived.

I did it! I'm alive! I survived my first week of high school!

Aahh! I'm so proud of myself! And I totally am IN LOVE with high school! I love it so much! I love having A B Days! I love seeing new faces (particularly cute boy faces)! I love going out to lunch every day! I love new classes! I love it all!

I'm sorry I didn't blog earlier. I was so overwhelmed and in shock. And I'm sorry if you talked to me and I ignored you or didn't answer you or just looked dazed. I was dazed. But now that I've gotten over the shock that I am in HIGH SCHOOL I can speak to you.

This past week has been full of trips to Smith's for last minute school supplies, stressing out, and sweating. Yes. I said sweating. That school is a sauna. I come home smelling like a barnyard. Good thing I just bought new gel deodorant! And perfume! Yay for sweet smelling things!

I am actually excited to wake up in the morning and go to school. Is that weird? Nerdy? I don't ever care!

Now another announcement.

I have discovered a thirty day blog challenge on pinterest. I've done one of these before when I was first starting out in the blogging world. It's actually pretty crazy how much my writing style has changed in a year (I started my blog about a year ago. Crazy, huh?) So I decided to honor my yearly blog anniversary, I shall do another 30 day blog challenge! Yay! I got it from this blog. feel free to do it with me.
