i decided that this year i didn't want to make resolutions.
things that are always said, but not very often actually done.
instead i decided that i would just think of things that would make my life better, add a little bit of whimsy and spontaneity, have a positive influence on it.
here are a few
+taking time to sketch anything and everything again
+bike that extra mile because you'll feel that much better when you do
+spend a friday night at home, or out to dinner by yourself, or curled up reading a good book, because having a good time doesn't require an agenda.
+take more bubble baths (really though, who doesn't love bubble baths?)
+listen to Brandon Flowers more because his music is good for your soul
+dye your hair blue because life is too short to be conservative. your only 17 once. take advantage.
+tell that kid that you like him, if not now, when?
+create. create. create.
+study the scriptures. actually study.
+leave your number and a cheesy note for the waiter. make his night.
+write missionaries. write lots of them.
+go to concerts. have a freaking blast.
+have more sleepovers with your best friend than the average 12 year old.
+figure out ways to start making your dreams come true.
+wear lipstick. everyday of the week if you'd like.
+be accepting. god made all of us. god.
+know that you are loved.
+be courageous. courage in underrated. a courageous heart is irreplaceable
+be yourself. nothing else will make you happier.

alley-oop
my roller coaster life.
care to hear?
I started cosmetology school this month. it has seriously been so great so far! i've quite honestly become pretty close with the girls in my class and i don't dread getting up every morning to get to school, because school doesn't really feel like school anymore. I only have 2 classes as the high school now, which actually makes that place semi bearable.. This was a huge change in my life, and i love this decision i've made for the most part. I do wish that i could spend more time with my friends, but i realize that this sacrifice will pay off big time by the time i graduate next year.
Since i started school, i also feel like other decisions in my life have started to fall into place. I feel like i can breath for a bit and relax because i'm headed in a good direction.

Can I be honest with you?
College apps were due yesterday, and, well, I didn't apply to a single college.
Some people have a great mindset about college.
They know where they want to go, and what they want to be.
I'm not in that boat.
I am almost positive that I want to go into Fashion Merchandising, but I can't exactly pursue that major while living in the state of Utah. This past week has been one of the most stressful of my life because of this fact. I have no idea where I want to go to college, I haven't even narrowed it down whatsoever.
Now, most people would be kicking themselves for procrastinating, and not looking into things more deeply, but really I am not mad at myself. In fact, I think I am on the verge of making a decision that will benefit my life for, well, the rest of my life.
I am seriously considering attending Evans hair school in January. Going part time, going to high school and hair school all at the same time. My older sister just recently graduated from Evans, and loved every minute of it. The more I think about this the better of an idea it becomes. I would be able to earn my certificate and start college that spring semester without the drop of a hat. I would have an entire year to decide exactly which college I wanted to go to and exactly what field to go into. Since my mom is also a hair dresser I would have a job at a salon, and I would be able to do hair while I would be going to school.
I have to make this decision really soon. Feel free to throw out any suggestions, comments, or thoughts.
I would love to hear what you have to think.

Routine.
i have reached a point in my life where the only things i do, are the same things that i have always done.
had the same habits, good and bad.
lived my life for the same reasons, good and bad.
not ever really standing out or standing up to what i believe in.
having feelings for certain people that i didn't necessarily want to have feelings for.
been the same, non communicative, introverted person.
been unhappy for reasons which i couldn't control, because i was letting someone else's happiness determine mine.
wanted something so much more that this small scale high school life.
waiting for my attitude to turn around and for my life to get better.
i am ready to be my own, but i'm not sure where or how to start this long and almost grueling process.
as scary as it is to think about, high school is ending sooner than later, and this seems to me about the best time to be thinking about being who i really want to be.
realizing that all people come, but not all of them go.
that my life, can be what i want it to be,
my path is just being chosen,
there's always room for improvement, and that i'm bound to make a mistake or two along the way.
