I LOVE COLLEGE.
Even though I have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning, I LOVE IT. I have an hour break between my Education class & my piano class (which is so easy that it's not even funny) AND another hour break between Piano & Institute.

Now, Institute. 

I cannot describe to you how amazing Institute is. I am taking the Book of Mormon class with Bro. Allen and that man... he makes the Spirit strike your heart with full force and it's absolutely glorious. My life has truly needed this renewing where I can just feel happy and not judged. I literally feel my Savior's love and the Spirit so strong in there. I've also made SO many friends! Even though every time I walk into the building, I feel as if all the RM's are putting a price on whether I'm marriage material.

Dear RM's,

I'm only 17.

Stop scaring me.

This past week has been....interesting. At Chick-fil-A, two parents got into a fight. Literally. She punched him, he punched her, she pushed him (mind you, this is in the play place in front of his, hers and other parent's kids) and his gun fell out of his pocket. He pointed it at her & then put it away.

He had a gun.

**A GUN.**

I was in the kitchen taking out the trash when I heard one of my friends tell his brother (a close friend of mine) to stay in the back. So obviously I'm like "Uh. What?" I then see everyone looking out the door, so obviously, I want to see. I see the 2 parents SCREAMING at each other and then I hear one of my friends say "He has a gun!" Now, I'm freaking out. Brayden is telling me to stay back, Kaylea is crying her face off, Elizabeth is panicking, etc. and all of us are just watching, waiting. I was shaking and praying that no one will be hurt and/or killed. I can't even imagine. I'm thankful for my Heavenly Father protecting us all that day.

No one got hurt and I thank Him everyday for the life I have been blessed with.

I'm thankful for my friends/the normal people at work.

I'm thankful for my parents and my siblings.

I honestly could go on.

But I have a similar "i love life" post.

SO. Today at the good ol' MCC, I went to the on-campus cafe to study for an hour before my Piano class. I sit down and take my books out of my bag. Then, a man with LONG dreadlocks sits in the other chair on the other side of the table and says (with a thick Jamaican accent), "I want to make you my Jamaican Princess!" He gets up, and walks out.

Oh ya know, just another day at MCC.

Getting proposed to, no biggie.

Godspeed :)

*A New Beginning*

Now that I'm old and wrinkly (ok, maybe not wrinkly) ... I have applied to college. Don't worry! It's only MCC, I'll still be around good ol' Mesa causing havoc.

I start going to school on the 18th based on the Presidential Scholarship I received which pays for ALLLL my tuition. Hallelujah. Just saying. Monday, Wednesday & Fridays I start school at 7am and end before 12pm, but I'm going to make myself stay there till 2pm so I can study like crazy. In order to keep this scholarship, I have to ace ALL my classes. Oh boy. But I'm up for the challenge! Tuesday & Thursday, I have 1 class at 9:30 and it's Child Development. Then I stay at the campus till 12pm (I think). Anywho, then my last class on Saturday? .....

*DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
 YOGA!
Yes, I'm taking a Yoga class every Saturday at 8am. Credit for my body and my education? Hollah!

To be honest, I'm terrified. It's college. I should be back to kindergarten, eating snacks - at least I want to be back at that age where everything was fine. Now I'm in this big bad world, where one wrong move can send me in a downward spiral. I'm glad I have a LOT of support because, I probably wouldn't be able to do it without all of it.

Oh! I cut 4 inches of my hair off and got bangs. BIIIIIIG change just so ya'll know. I haven't had bangs since I was maybe .... 6 years old? Yeah? So, basically.... HUGE change. But apparently it looks good because people REALLY like it. So I guess I'm happy with it! :)


Well, this isn't the most exciting post but, I just wanted to update and say HEY I'm growing up. Holy flip.
I'm going to be 18 years old in 2 months. Adult life, here I come. And yes, I'm planning already what I'm going to do for the day of celebration on October 13th ... and I know it's only August.
