For All Those Considering SUU [:

Recently a lot of my friends have been asking me about SUU and how I like it here, and if I think they'd like it here, and so here's a longer, more thoughtful answer;
I LOVE being here at SUU, I can't say it's the right place for everyone, but I know it's the right place for me. I've had sooo much fun here, it's crazy how much fun, actually. I've met some AMAZING people, and it really seems like I've known them longer than 3 months, but it hasn't even been that long yet. There's always something going on here to get involved in, and I love that about SUU. I also love how quickly SUU really did become home, I feel comfortable here, and I feel like it's where I'm supposed to be.
The professors here (at least the ones I've had) have all been pretty good and I haven't had any problems with them.
The class sizes are small, which makes it easy to learn. I really do love being on a smaller campus, at least for my undergrads, I think it's easier to meet people and get involved that way.
SUU has a BEAUTIFUL campus, it really is so pretty here, and despite what some may think, there is a lot to do here.
SUU is just lots of fun, I've already had some great experiences here, and I haven't been here that long.
So for those who are seriously considering attending SUU, I'd encourage you to come here and take a tour, do some research, and if it's what you wanted it to be, I'd strongly encourage you to come here. This really is better than I was expecting, and I'm so glad I chose SUU over U of U :D
But, to all my friends who are still deciding between schools, if SUU isn't where you want to go, just make the most of wherever you are. This time only comes by once in your life, make sure you get involved in something and make the most of it, it can be an amazing time [[:

But I guess that can apply to anyone in any stage of life. Live every day to the fullest, you'll never have this time again, make it worthwhile

My Schedule For Next Semester

So, basically, I'm super excited for my schedule next semester. It's going to be great [: The only thing is that stupid Library one credit class SUU requries all Freshman to take. That puts me at 16 credits so I can't take anymore classes, cause I really wanted to take the Serial and Mass Murder or Terrorism class, but that max number of credits I can take is 18 and both of those would put me at 19 =/
Other than that I'm very happy.
I'll be taking....
HSS 1120 (Intro to Diversity) MWF at nine
Comm 1010 MWF at ten
Musc 1020 MWF at 11
and
Soc 3450 TR at 10
Biol 1010 TR at 1
Plus that dumb Library class I'm testing out of.
My declared major and minors are, as of now, Sociology with minors in Criminal Jutice and Communications with a Communication Studies emphasis [:

Yepp I'm a slacker =P

I was just wondering how long it would take me to start slackin' off on this thing hahaha...well, not very long I suppose. It's just hard to constantly keep it updated with well...college going on, ya know?
So what's happening in my life...
Well...
I went up to Payson last weekend for a conference at BYU and a couple farewells, and that was TONS of fun. I did miss The Howl (SUU's Halloween party) but it's okay. While up there I went to the conference Thursday which was..fascinating. It really was. It was about human trafficking for slavery and prostitution and I really did learn a lot from it. Just a quick disturbing fact, a pimp selling only four girls a year into child prostitution can make over $600,000 a year. It's sick how low humanity can go sometimes. It's actually rather frustrating but I'm really glad I went because I learned a lot that I'm not sure I otherwise would've. Well after that I went and hung out with my friend Liz and some other people and we went to Taco Bell [: Chalupas are pretty freakin' great and I'd suggest trying one [[:
Let's see...hmmm...Friday...Friday I went to Wats to see some of my old buddies and I ended up working for a little bit, but after Andrea, Cody, Steven, Shelby, and I all went to this party/dance thing and that was a lot of fun, also, and it was super fun to hang out with those guys again [:
Saturday I went to Wats, again, and worked for a little bit then Corbin, Ali, Daniel, Andrea, Cody, Kassidi, Kaylee, and I all went to Wingers and that was..quite the experience haha. I miss those guys a lot :/ And after that we went back to Wats for the re-branding party because Western Wats will now no longer be called Wats..it is now Opinionology, and I'm not totally sure how I feel about that. BUT! My friend Christian make donuts with bacon on them, and they were really good, actually. I know how it sounds, but seriously, you have to try it. Later that night I took my sisters trick or treating and just kinda hung out with my siblings for a while which was fun [:
Sunday I got up earlier than I have in I don't even know how long and went to my friend Josh's farewell with Shelby and Liz [: He did amazing with his little talk thinger and I'm super excited for him to go on his mission [: And after that one we went to Jeff's too. Then I came back home to Cedar with Autumn, Bridger, and Anna and had a fun ride back like always haha. So yepp...that was my weekend :D

This week..Hmmm...not a lot of exciting things are going on this week I don't think..I have a Criminal Justice test Friday and a Math test coming up soon too, I think. Yeah, other than that it's just been the fun college stuff and just having lots of fun with my friends here in Cedar. I have made some pretty freaking awesome friends down here, they're tons of fun [: And after being here for a while, even though I do miss my friends from Payson, I can really say that I'm glad I chose SUU because I do think it's been the best for me [[:

Oh The Fun [[:

Last week was Homecoming Week...so there was tons of crazy things going on..Quick re-cap

Tuesday night..Neon dance in the cave!! Possibly one of the most fun school dances I've been to. It really seemed more like a concert than a dance. It was a party [[:
Thursday night- Pete Lee. Kay guys, seriously, look this guy up. He was soo funny.."Well punch a duck" "You look fat when you cry!" "I was a baby once..." "Jacooooob" And bunny bashing..kay what the heck is this? Besides slightly disturbing? What is this? Future serial killers of America? Goodness. I've never heard of it till that night. I could've gone my whole life without knowing about that.
Friday- Pep rally and frickin sweet fireworks
Saturday-  Homecoming Game!!! We won 20 to 7. Heck yeah! Again, it's nice to go to a school that can win a game or two.

My midterms are officially finished! I took my last one today. I studied six hours yesterday for that freaking Philosophy test. I'm just hoping it went well.

Between studying yesterday my dear friend Chantel and I went to Hogi Yogi and then later that night to see Brumby and The Mother Folksters (yeah..I know haha) But if you get the chance, look em' up. We both liked them, and it was a most excellent way to relieve me stress from that stupid test.

Uhmmmm...other news...I'm not sure what else is going on. Not too much I don't think. It's raining super hard right now and I'm thinkin it's gonna start snowing soon. But hey, it is Cedar City after all.

Other than that, college has been fun [: I love my friends here, and just the same I miss all my old friends. You all are freaking awesome!! Only thing that's no bueno? Trying to find a job in a tiny college town. Times I'm grateful I didn't go to Snow. I'm sure it's probaby worse in Ephraim.

Oh! And..there's only about a month and a half of school till Christmas Break [[: That also means only a month and a half till finals...but I'm not focusing on that =P

College Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife [[:

I <3 college!
Basically, it's just tons of fun, I love my classes, and I've met some freakin sweet people, so of course that helps [[:
And I just got two tests out of the way, so I'm in a pretty good mood right about now [:
Last weekend I went up to good old P-Town to see family and friends, and of course that was fun. Thanks to Daniels threats I ended up going back to a high school football game, but it was fun. They played Salem and won 28-13 and I'm super proud of my friend Corbin for making an AWESOME tackle. But my dear friend Ali and I couldn't help but laugh when at the end of third quater they played I've Got A Feeling, it was almost like sweet revenge. Last year when Payson played Salem they lost because of a RIDICULOUS call, and they played that song at the end of the game, so most people at that game no longer liked that song, but after they played it Friday night, I have a feeling that is all going to change. Anyways, good job Payson [: And after that I went on an adventure to Wats and saw a couple old supervisors and stuff and then Shinah, Ali, Daniel, Mataya, and I went to Orem and it was just tons of fun [[:
Then Saturday I ended up going back to Wats. To work. But it's okay, broke college students need money, and I had fun seeing all my old Wats buddies, cause they're pretty freaking awesome [: Then a little later I went to Cece's house and had a baking adventure with her, Kort, and Dustin, and those are ALWAYS exciting :D
And Sunday I pretty much just had lunch with my family and came back home [[: And my younger brother passed the Sacrament for the first time, and yes, I now feel even older. That kid's almost taller than me, and I'm sure he will be by Christmas! Insanity I tell you!

Fun for this week? It's Homecoming Week!!! So there's gonna be tons of activities going on this week that I'm way excited for, it should be bueno! AND! I only have one more midterm and the general and seminar sessions of my Univ. class end this week, it's going to be a good week :D

The Wonderful People In My Life :D

Sooo....
Yeah.
Basically, I just have the most AMAZING people in my life. I don't know how or why, but for some reason there's always people that make my days better, even if they don't realize it [:
Recently I've received several, and seemingly random, uplifting texts from friends, I'm not totally sure why, all I really know is that I'm thankful for them, because they make everything much better and always make me smile [: So thanks friends!! I really do have the best friends that anyone could ever think about asking for :D

Other things going on? Uhmmm...
I actually don't think there's anything extraordinary going on right now, just the normal stuff. Wake up, go to class, homework, and super fun adventures with friends, so things are good I guess, yeah? Yep [[:

OH!!! I am VERY excited for Halloween though, it should be great fun here in Cedar South (since I do live on the party floor, as we like to refer to it [[:). I did watch Halloweentown the other day!!!! It made me feel like such a young kid again, and it was funny because every person that walked by was like HALLOWEENTOWN!!!! SUU is full of such cool college students [[: But yeah, I'm excited, it should be fun!!!!

MLIA? Oh yeah.

So last night...after a crazy Saturday consisting of a tailgate, football game, volleyball game, and then comedy mentalist, I had the PERFECT ending to a almost great day (It would've been had we not lost. By 3. Off BS calls, but it's all good, we won our volleyball game [:) Anyway...we're sitting in the Rotunda (for all those who have no idea what that is, it's the big circle open area in the student center) talking with my friends when Carly goes "you are so dumb, you are really dumb. For real" (referencing the now famous Bed Intruder video) when this campus security guard walks by and says "He's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up" and then just walked off without saying anything else. We laughed for...a very long time. So thank you unknown security person for completing our day [[:


P.S. I enjoyed Conference [[:
