Good Vibrations

Hello, and welcome to yet another exciting blog post!

Okay, it’s not that exciting. It’s just my busy school week. But I will do my best to jazz it up.

On Monday I took my first ever college exam! It was actually kind of scary! The testing center is super intimidating and I felt like I had the word “FRESHMAN” written on my forehead. But, I made it out relatively unscathed and got a 94 on my Book of Mormon exam so I was content. I also got my AP scores back! 5 on Lit, 5 on Psych, and a 3 on Statistics (Hey, I'll take it! It is a miracle I even passed that test). So I was pretty excited. That night was our first Family Home Evening activity! I’m one of the group leaders and we played ultimate spoons! It was a lot of fun and we have a really good group! 

Tuesday consisted of some serious time in the library and a visit from my super good friend Lauren!

 How I’ve missed that girl! It was fun to chat and catch up. That night I hung out with some of the girls on my floor, Elise and Melissa. They are so much fun!

Wednesday was the Fourth of July! It was a much needed break from school and stress. I went with my sister and brother-in-law to my aunt’s house. We had lunch over there and got to visit with all my family out here. And I got to play with my cute cousins!



Then me, Sarah, and one of her friends Emily had dinner with Sarah’s family. Afterwards, we went to the STADIUM OF FIRE, which was the BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES. We saw Scotty McCreery and THE BEACH BOYS! The Beach Boys… they’ve still got it!! It was a fantastic show and we sang and danced to every song. Plus, the fireworks were phenomenal! What a great Fourth! Now I can’t stop singing “Good Vibrations” and “Wouldn’t it be Nice”. 

Love them!

THE BEACH BOYS!!! 

I know I'm super blessed to live in this great nation. I am so grateful for all the men and women who defend our freedom. Thanks to you all. God bless America.  

Thursday was rainy… I was decked out in my rain boots and polka dot umbrella. I had lots of homework and studying to do so I spent lots of time in the library. 

As for today, I took my first geography test at the testing center and did really well so I was happy! I spent a lot of time studying in the library (I know, I sound like such a nerd always being in the library, but I have a lot to do and I love that place!). Tonight we had a ward Relief Society game night. We played signs, which was super fun even though I was super bad at it.

I found this great quote today. I liked it so much I wrote it on my mirror:

“Be believing. Be happy. Don’t get discouraged. Things will work out”
—Gordon B. Hinckley

That is such a great reminder. Don’t worry. Everything will be okay. Remember to smile and put one foot in front of the other.

Hakuna matata!
