i can't change things that have happened.
My mistakes are my mistakes, but
other peoples' mistakes are their mistakes.

# 05
i've learned to smile 8) It's the best look anyone can give you.

stupid, careless, hurtful, dumb, thoughtless

i've learned that it isn't worth it unless you make it that way

seven things i get to be grateful for...

Here are 7 things I'm grateful for while being in UTAH...

# 07
I still have family in Utah...If i need to get away from Ephriam
i can always go to Salt Lake or Lehi to see family. 

# 06

I've started to state my independency. Slowly but surely
but I've still started!

# 05
I have met some wonderful people here...I think i know quite a lot of people, and that's good. I don't know why, but it feels important...

# 04
Change...

We all know Change is good. It can happen at certain times, and we can see it as either bad or good. I've had A LOT of change, but as i look back, i'm not real upset about it any more...


# 03
My life....
If you haven't heard, there's a couple in Utah somewhere, that had a very bad accident, crashed in a plane, the husband made it away with 30% of his body only burned by 3rd degree burns, but the wife, had 3rd degree burns over 80% of her body...She lives life to the fullest, makes me want to appreciate it so much...


# 02
Twelve is the opposite of Twenty one. 12 = 21
I've almost lived twenty - one years of my life!
For some odd reason i'm grateful for that, and it isn't
because i'm old enough to buy alcohol, but because
i've had 21 years of experience so far, and as far as i
know i'll have 21 more years!

# 01

10 Random musings of a...College student

1...I have yet to figure out what X is equal....Help me out man!!!!

2...Oprah is always the best!! No matter what...

This was a tribute to a family that had Trisomy 18. It was really touching. It just goes and has the kid's parent's writing him letters for each day of his life...until it reaches his birth of 99 days. On his funeral...they release 99 balloons to represent each day that he was alive. It's such a good way to look at life, and living it to the fullest.


3...Certain books are good to read only once...Twilight...That's a three, maybe four time read...I'll read it all the time, even later when I'm married...They'll be an added collection to my books later on in life.

4...Salt and Vineagar Chips. What makes them salty? The Vineagar, or the Salt????
5...Black, or Pink???
6...Why does it haveta smell like Turkeys in Ephraim?
7...Can't make a choice? Do both!!!!

8...Why is so hard to understand that you should stoppppppppp!! yelling like a stupid little girl, though you're at least 18 and a boy, at eleven at night when others are trying to sleep...
9...Most College boys are immature!
AND...
10...I've been in Ephraim almost 2 years and haven't gone to the S yet...Infact, i haven't even gone and hiked to the Y, and i've been in Utah almost 2 years....go figure!
