Finals, Finances, Fretting, and Food...OH and Work...

It's really a bummer that the word 'work' does not start with an 'f'. Oh well.

Alright, all. You're right. I'm a bum. And I stopped writing on my blog. Which does, indeed, make me sad. 

Cause guess what! I love my blog. And all who read it. And I don't like disappointing everyone. SOOOO here it goes:

Finals...well. I didn't die. So that's good.

There's the update on that.

I got a job. Which...is a job. So that means I make money. Don't get excited people, it's not a lot of money. But it's more than I was making before, so that's an improvement.

I made my "financial plan" tonight, and I have come to this conclusion:

MONEY. SUCKS.

It's as simple as that.

And guess what: everything costs money. WHO KNEW?!

Yeesh this is annoying.

I am living basically alone in Utah for two weeks. I'm staying in my sister's apartment whilst she is in MN with her BOYFRIEND. And here's this deal: I am lonely. Not like pouty, whiny lonely.

 Like...I feel fine, I am just completely alone. 

You know when you just feel...nothing...about things? Like you have no emotion whatsoever? 

That's what I'm feeling right now. 

Is it bad? Is it good? I have no idea. I'm just going to say it's whatever. Cause I say that a lot, and it feels like whatever. So we'll go with that.

And here's the kicker: There are technically people I COULD be hanging out with...I just have no desire to be with people right now. Simply no desire. 

I would much rather sit in my sister's bed in my underwear (hehehe) and watch TV on Netflix and eat cereal and macaroni and cheese and candy all night. And then wake up and work out. And go to work. And then come home and start all over. SO, since I am all alone and I have no one to answer to, that is what I shall spend my time doing. 

So, there.

Sorry this is pretty much boring and emotionless. It's just how I'm feeling. I mean after hours of TV and financial planning...you don't really feel like a human being anymore. Haha 

Which, honestly, I think is alright to feel sometimes. 

It's a nice break.

So, America. Or whoever is reading this...have a spectacular day...or night...or MORNING. Depending on when you read this. And don't worry about me, I'm fine. Alone time is really...nice. Actually.

The only hard part is knowing that my family, the people I love more than anything in the whole world, is all together minus me. And I wonder if they notice I'm gone...which is not as depressing as it sounds. I am honestly just curious. 

Goodnight, all. 

Here is a fantastic FANTASTIC song. Honestly SO fantastic.

Enjoy it :)

"Won't you be my honeybee?"...

Alrighty, so my sister Cami is in an official relationship now.

 Which, I feel bad for the guy a little bit. Not because he is dating her, but because I don't think he really realizes that Cami has sisters. Who like to talk. And like to talk about boys. To other people. And post about them on their blogs. SO, hopefully he doesn't mind that I am posting about him. His name is Mike and he is very cute and very nice and wonderful to Cami. They are cute together. :) Very very cute. This song is wonderful and the title of this post comes from it. AND it applies! So, enjoy.

I was RIDICULOUSLY productive today, I want you to know.

 I went to school, and looked GOOD, and I came home and painted the mailbox, and I planted flowers, and I unloaded the dishwasher, and swept the garage and cleaned off the deck, and I started making cute little cupcake toppers. 

So, yeah. All in all, I was a total rockstar. 

My stress level is at a 7 or 8 I think. The party is coming up so quickly. I'm terrified! I am an introvert, so I get my energy from being alone. Spending 4 hours with 300 people who are specifically at the party to talk to ME freaks the heck out of me. 

So, wish me luck. I know I will be fine, I'm just super nervous!!

ALSO: I have had a major major discovery: stumbleupon.com.

 Honestly it is the most genius website since google. I can't even begin to tell you how much I adore that website. Go. Waste hours on it. It's amazing. 

And the last topic of the evening:

 My best friend in the world! Kelsey Schwartz.

 She is a total champ. We share a brain. Which is usually a good thing. Mostly a funny thing. And definitely a wonderful thing. Here is a video that sums up our friendship.

 I hope you enjoy it...if you just stick it out and watch the whole thing, I promise that you still won't be impressed, but you will probably laugh a couple of times :)

I hope you liked that. We were at rehearsal for a show when we took this vid. It was great.

 SO, I hope you liked it a LOT LOT LOT. :) 

And so it begins...

Cami and I are lookin SUPER hot as we created our blogs. It's kinda ridiculous.


I did it! I finally got a blog. (LAUREN!) Which is pretty dang exciting, if you ask moi. I am one of those people who writes in a journal every once in awhile so I'm happy to start this thing. My sister Cami (she's 20, I'm sure you'll hear a lot about her over the course of this blog) is sitting with HER laptop on my bed next to me creating her first blog too...which I THINK means our blogs were born at the same time on the same day...can you say twins? Hopefully you can. So...this is the beginning of hopefully a successful blog experience...I tend to kind of forget about these things. haha I'll try really hard not to though!

A little tiny bit about me:
I am a GINGER.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
I am going to BYU Provo in one month! WHOOT WHOOT.
I will be living with Miss Lauren Hopper (Which will be a crappin' blast!)
I looovveeee music (I sing a whole dang lot, and play the violin)
My passion more than anything else is ART. I love painting and that's what I am majoring in college. (If all goes as planned :))
My family is wonderful! I have 3 sisters, one brother, and two wonderful parents. Here is a lovely picture of us at Christmas. I think everyone looks great on Christmas.
