College Life

I think I fail at college life. I haven't gone to a single football game, dance, or anything like that. Don't get me wrong, I've been having a fandidlytastic time here. I just haven't done any of the college activities. I'm sure I'll at least go to some basketball games. Mostly it's just been parties at my apt., hanging out with people and boys, watching Bones, and studying/homework. When I get on facebook and see all these pics from different college activities some friends have gone to, I think "oh I guess I could have gone to that.... oh well!" At least I know I can always go next year. I'm still getting used to being back in Utah. It's  mainly getting used to the people. I know it sounds weird, but there's a huge difference and I miss my Jersey peeps. A LOT. Maybe I can go back there to nanny during the summer. It makes me wonder where I'm going to live in the future when I have a family. Would I want to raise a family on the east coast? Or do I want to raise my family here in the west? In Utah? I don't know. Maybe California. Time will only tell. I will, of course, have to talk to my future husband about it. Whoever he might be.

Am I really back??

My body is back, my mind isn't. Everywhere I look I ask myself why I'm here, and I have to remind myself of what I'm doing. I know things will get better, but I also know it's going to be a while. I feel like a missionary getting off their mission. In that awkward stage trying to get back to reality. For some missionaries it doesn't take very long, for others it takes forever. How long will it take for me? It was hard for me to cry before I came back, but as soon as I hit the plane and it all became real, I feel like I'm always keeping back tears. Things are so different yet so the same since I was here last. I wonder how all of this will effect my studies in school. I'm so happy, scared, and I don't know what about starting school. I know I have friends there, and I know it will be fun, and I know it will be hard work. But I had all of that in Jersey too. It's just a completely different kind of friends, fun and work.

The transition is emotional, but it's what I need to do. Everything is going to be okay.

It's off from one adventure, moving onto the next.

Life :)

Life is starting to change! It does that to you apparently. How is it changing? Well my days as a nanny are coming to an end, I'm almost all set up for college, I've started running to put myself back in shape, and the weather is getting warmer. It's all bitter sweet, except for the weather getting warmer. That is sweet all around! I'm going to miss everyone here in Jersey a TON, but I know I'm going to have a blast in college. I really don't know what I'm feeling right now. It's almost like I'm not feeling at all because the happiness and sadness sort of cancel each other out. So when people ask me how I'm doing/feeling or whatever, all I can reply with is "I'm good!". I'm good because I know everything is going to be okay :) And that's pretty much it.

The Flying Turkey

So I am currently at a Sunday testimony meeting and a young man went up and shared a story originally told by John Bytheway. The story is about a turkey who found out how to fly. After he learned to fly, the other turkeys wanted to learn how to fly also. So they all got together and he taught them all how to fly. They loved to fly and flew all over the place. When they were done with the lesson, they all walked home. The point of the story is to take what you learn and use it! Learn to fly, and fly home instead of walk! Don't just learn it and not do anything about it. I loved this story and just had to share it :)

Is this going to work???

So I was thinking about how bad I am at updating my blog and realized that maybe there was an app I could download that I could use to help me keep my blog updated! So here I am now testing out an app! It had bad reviews but I didn't have a lot to choose from. Does anyone know someone that could create an amazing app for blogging?? If not I'll just hope this works :)
