I almost forgot I had a blog...

I haven't updated my blog in a LONG time!

Life for me has completely changed. I've transferred Universities. BYU-I Didn't have my major, so I decided to transfer to UVU! I'm going into the Culinary Arts program!

Which leads me to why I'm updating out of the blue!

I've been thinking about it for a while, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in seeing what I'm learning at school, or if I decide to make a cake, or play with fondant, ect. I think it'd be cool to show the step-by-step process I go through, or even upload videos.

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks! :)

Why you complainin'? Could be worse!

Oh my gosh.

I'm getting SO sick of people belly aching over stupid trivial things that don't matter. When you go on, and on, and on, and onnnnnnnn about stupid things it gets super old super fast. I'm just saying.

I seriously just wanna hit something from rage.


Seriously? Why you throwing a pity party and inviting EVERYBODY. I don't want be at my apartment anymore because it's seriously SO NEGATIVE all theee time....

And you know if you try and say something to the person about it they'll just be like:

"Girl why you hatin' on me."


Then you get a crucial blow to the face filled with guilt and irritation.

So i'm at a loss now....

And I still hate when people sit there and act like there are a freaking perfect little peach and I am the lowliest of scum on earth for freaking drinking a diet coke. GAH.


I just wanna say "GET."

It's just tiring to have someone constantly come up to you and say, "My life sucks wahhhhh feel bad for meeeeee."

I'm just like:


I'm just like whatevs.


Hopefully it just passes off as a phase or something....

Peace

The semester is almost over.

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by! So much has happened. I've learned so much during these two semesters here at BYU-I. I'm excited for the summer! I have so many things I want to do!

I don't know if many of you know, but I'm going to England next spring!(hopefully.) There is a program offered for English majors through BYU-I that allows students to travel around England seeing various sites and learning more about literature! I would take two weeks worth of classes on campus here, and then spend the rest of the semester in England! I really really want to do it! :)

Also, I've been thinking about my major a lot lately. I've decided something. I want to become a chef! Culinary arts has always interested me! :)

In other news: school is going great! Lol. Apartment situations are always full of fun times and learning experiences. I'm actually going to be grateful when I can drink a diet coke in peace because as of late every time I drink one my roommates are like:



So i'm like:


"HATERS GONNA HATE."

Lol. Also I need to learn to have more patience... Because my roommates make me feel like:


But it's okay.... Cause Holly and I watch South Park and have a jolly good time. SO it allll balances out. :) haha. I really should be doing homework instead of this blog post...







LOL.... okay i'm actually gonna go do homework now...


PEACE AND BLESSINGS. Love ya'll.

<3

So fricken cold.

Holy crap. It's FREEZING here.

School starts tomorrow! Cuh-razy! can't believe it! two of my new roommates that moved in yesterday are older than me, Jen, and Deanne. I'm not gonna lie. I'm feeling a little intimidated! :/ But I'm sure once the semester starts rolling we'll all get along and have a good time! I wonder what my new FHE brothers will be like! I think my expectations are too high, last semester was super fun! But ya never know. I'm excited to learn new things in all my classes! :) Especially my Baseball theory class! :)

Lol. I'm also super excited to write a book with my good ol' Rexburg buddy Kylei Tompkins! :D I miss her! this semester just won't be the same! :(
AND. In exactly one month it will be my birthday! :D WHOOOOO HOOO> 19!!!!

BYUI is amazing!

SO... college has been great! I've loved all of my classes and enjoyed getting familiar with the campus and my roomies! I'm going to be completely honest, it's been hard. I've never had this feeling, this ache, in my stomach before. It's been rough since my dad isn't right there for me to call on the phone.

It was hard to see all of the other girls fathers drop them off, hugging them and kissing their foreheads, and wishing them the best of luck. It was like a slap in the face.

I guess it was a huge comfort how everyone in Grantsville handled the situation. When I told my room mates here about dad and how he passed away, they were all silent and stared at me like I was crazy.

I wonder if they even know how hard it is, or if they understand that all I want, is someone who will listen.

Maybe I told them too soon, but I just wanted to get it out there. I'm sick of it being awkward, or like a pity thing. I just want support and understanding.

This past week I've really enjoyed reading my scriptures and praying. It's been a huge blessing to me. Emily, Shaun, and I were reading them the other day and we stumbled across a story that reminded me of a situation similar to mine.

It was the one about the brothers who were trying to be missionaries, and everyone they tried to teach wouldn't listen. Then heavenly father comforted them and sent them out again. They continued to try and teach the gospel and pushed through all the rough patches. Finally, they were rewarded.

I feel like if I continue to do my best, if I walk forward with faith, everything will work out.

I'm excited to get to work with my classes. I'm excited to make new friends. I seriously can't wait until the day I feel at home here!

It's going to be great! :)

Time is a precious thing.

These last two months have seriously just flown by. Where did all my time go? I still can't believe my Birthday has already come and gone. Being 18 doesn't feel any different, but i feel like I've matured a lot over the past year. I feel like i'm finally starting to find my niche in life.

I had a really neat experience when I went to Barnes and Noble with my mom the other day.

There was this old man there who was trying to sell people his book, and of course he caught us off guard and we ended up having a really cool conversation with him!

I guess he's a newly published author so I was really interested in what he had to say and wondered if he could give me any insight on the writing business.

As we continued talking he asked me how old I was and where I wanted to go to college and what I wanted to study.

I told him I was 18, and planning on going to BYU-I to become a Journalist or a writer. He told me that he was a seminary teacher in Rexburg! AND his granddaughter is going to school at BYU-I! INSANE right??

Anyway, he told me that if I ever had a thought, or an idea to write it down. We ended up buying his book, "Emery's Secret" and he signed it for me! It says:

"Melissa,
Always follow your heart.
- Robert Johnson Almond."

For some reason that really stuck out to me. It got me thinking. There is so much I want to do now, but there just isn't enough time. High school is almost over, and it really makes me sad that all those days are gonna be over soon.

I'm playing Softball this year! :) I'm really excited. I know my dad will be with me every day at practice, and sitting in the bleachers cheering me on. Just going to open gym I could hear him in the back of my mind saying "No, do it right." or "watch your bat hit the ball." and even "Good job missy."

I was always Missy moo moo, or just Missy to my dad. I'm gonna miss that the most I think. With every good there comes the bad, and I think that this season is going to be one I never forget, but it's also going to be one of the hardest things i'll have to go through since my dad passed away.

I shouldn't worry though, I've got my own angel in the outfield this season. :) <3

I caved :P

....I finally got a twitter. I think if you look under Mayeesah, or Melissa it should be there! Just wanted to let everyone know. Add me if you wanna know the 411 with me, myself, & I! Lol. (we all know just how exciting my life is at this very moment! :P)

Also, My Birthday is in 3 days! Weird! I'll be a legal adult! AND I finally finished my BYU-Idaho application three days ago! :) I am a very happy girl! Wish me luck on the ACT Saturday! :\
