harry potter is life

"it swept us away to a world we've never returned from"

this is how i have always felt about harry potter. i have been in love with it from the first time i got it for christmas when i was 7. my mom and me read the first books together, and then i got older and read them by myself. that is another reason why it means a lot to me. they helped me to truly love books and reading. they will ALWAYS be my FAVORITE books of ALL time. when this movie comes out it will really be over. and my heart will break a little. and yes, i will probably cry. i know i sound dramatic but seriously, harry potter is very important to me, and means a lot to me. from all the memories it's given me, to the amazing world it introduced me to, to the characters i LOVE and feel as if they are my close personal friends, to a love for reading, for making me a better reader, to bonding me with friends, for teaching me wise lessons (let's face it, dumbledore is the wisest persone ever), to teaching me about being a true friend, it comforts me, and has gotten me through some tough times. As you can see it's really given me a lot. so yes, i know i am a nerd but harry potter is real to me. haha call me crazy but its true. thank you j.k. rowling, for being so brilliant and creating a series of books i will cherish forever.

home sweet home

I got to go home for Easter and it was marvelous. I hung out with family and friends whom I love dearly! I took a lot of my stuff back so my room looks lived in again. It was looking pretty lonely with just my dolls on the counters.

Yes i know, once again I act like a little girl. But, I think we are all little giggling girls at heart right? We never fully grow up and if you do than you are boring so BAMM! I also watched The Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty with my mom and Harry Potter 7 with Brooke and Katie. Two of my favorite things in the world Disney and Harry Potter.

My sister Brookie is moving out this week. It's so unfair that right when I am moving back in, she's moving out. I am excited for her though. I will just miss her lots. I will miss her weird expressions, her movies, her laugh, her waking me up in the morning even when i want to punch her in the face, her making me do things I dont want to do, when she sings everything she says, her rage (it's scary, and just living with her in general. I know I haven't really lived with her this past 9 months but it is still just sad. We will probably never live together again. She is one of my best friends and I love her so much! At least she won't be too far away!


I also got to hang out with some of the funniest, beautiful, trustworthy, super amazing, super awesome, lovely ladies in the world. Jessie, Paigey, Kels Bels, Tiffy, Ky By. We all became close playing soccer together. They are some of my BEST friends and I can seriously tell them ANYTHING. We have all been through a lot together. I can't imagine life without them, and even though we all live all over utah (hahaha) we have gotten even closer this year. Thank goodness for soccer. I miss it and them a lot. This summer will be so fun. Love you girls. Thanks for everything you do for me.

silly girl...

Anyone who knows me well knows that I wish I were in a book. I wish my life was magical and dangerous and crazy sometimes.

I want to be a witch and save the wizarding world. I want to be a Shadowhunter and fight demons. I want to be as smart and quick as Katniss. I want to live in a Jane Austen novel and marry Mr. Darcy. I want to live in greek mythology. I want dragons to be real. Maybe it would be cool to be a princess (I know I act like I am 5 years old). I want to live in a fairytale; being Belle, Ariel, Aurora, Cinderella, Pocahontas,Rapunzel, etc. And most of all, I want to have an epic love story. Sometimes I even want to have a tragic love story! (crazy right? but there is just something so tragically beautiful about those love stories).

I want to be able to fight for my life. To save the ones I love. To actually prove myself. To be wise, and be fierce and tough and beautiful and awesome and courageous and intense.

I don't just want to be a silly girl with silly dreams. Because today that is what I feel like. I feel like I am not even doing anything spectacular with my life.

Yes, I know I am at college, which dont get me wrong, is great. I have the best family and the best friends in the world. I have the Holy Ghost in my life and most especially The Savior who is ALWAYS there for me. I would be lost without my membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I also have an idea about what I want to do with my life as far as a career goes.

I shouldn't be ungrateful and I'm really not, it is just one of my dreaming days where I am wishing I was someone else or just wishing my life was cooler. I have quite the imagination sometimes. Maybe that is my problem. Or maybe i am going crazy. I wouldn't be surprised by that option either.

I know that one day I am going to be so happy with all that I've accomplished and I will be so satisfied with my life. I feel that way a lot already. I am just not really feeling that today. But it's okay. I will just keep dreaming for a little while. I love you all! And I am sorry I am so weird.

English Major?

Here I sit, looking up classes to take for next fall. I am getting a little stressed. I know that being an english major means I have to write a lot (obviously!) but what if I can't do it? What if people have been lying to me my whole life and I'm really not that great at writing? What if I can't do it? What if I can't keep up with all the people around me?

I know, I know I shouldn't be thinking like this. If I don't believe in myself then who will? Well, actually a lot of people do. I am really grateful for that. I just wish that I could see myself through someone else's eyes sometimes.

I am just having a little freak out is all. Don't worry, I will get through it. I always do. With the help of prayer, family, and friends.

Because you know what? I can do anything. That is what is so great about being alive at this time. I have so many opportunities before me, and so many people to turn to if I need them. So I am going to take this self doubt I am having right now and kick it in the face. BAMMM. If I want to do this, I will have to work hard and BELIEVE in myself.

Here I go. My change of attitude is starting right now. No more doubt whispering in my ear saying:
"You can't do this!"
"You aren't smart enough!"
Because as a wise person once said:

"Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right"
-Henry Ford

And here is a cute picture just so this blog isn't so boring!!

Prelude

So I am completely new to this whole blogging idea. To be honest, my family would laugh at me if they knew I had a blog. They just hate the blogs where the person is like, life is so prefect blah blah, blah. I can assure you this won't be one of those blogs. I just felt like I needed a place to share my thoughts, let out some steam, share quotes, books, music, life, pictures, stories, etc. I am not a very good journal writer so i figured this would help me remember life a little better.

I just wanted to give a shout out to my girl Chandler Hanna Daniels for helping me start this. It was a little confusing but she helped me pull through.

Life is pretty good right now. I am just getting ready for finals in a few weeks. Its crazy to think that I am almost finished with my first year of college. I feel SOOO old sometimes. Time is kind of flying by. I have loved my first year though. Coming up to Utah State was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have met some incredible people and have managed to stay close to my incredible friends back home. It's been hard being away from my family, but I have grown a lot this past year. I have been so blessed. Well here I go, posting my FIRST EVER blog post.. how exciting.. I know you all are! Enjoy some of these pictures of the best people in the world! Love you all.
