Thankful

Sometimes Life Sucks.
And sometimes, you gotta get a little happier.

*WATCH THIS*
Life is Tough, But So Are You.


Be Thankful.

Be Thankful.
I mean really,
Just think about it.

Think of all the little things that we don't even think to be thankful for.

Teeth.
Fingernails.
Piano Keys.
Mirrors.
Mouse Pads.
Buttons.

Remotes.

Bouncy Balls.

Pillows.

The Second Hand.

Vowels.

Toes.

Picture Frames.

Cups.

All of these things we go on throughout our days without even realizing we need to be thankful for them.

So today,
THANK YOU

Thank you for being you and being simply amazing.

Stay Classy.

Cuddle Whore

Who knew there was such a thing?

I didn't.

But now I do.

It's just someone who cuddles with a lot of people and likes it a lot.


Uh Oh


....



I think I'm a cuddle whore...

Her

Aren't we adorable?

Meet Lindsey. Her name is Lindsey. She is just so awesome. She is nice and gorgeous and everything, and everyone is in love with her.

That is all.

Attractive

I am going home on Tuesday. I am really excited.

Thanksgiving is coming everyone.
Thanksgiving is a time for mashed potatoes, pink salad, and costumes.

At my house, we dress up for halloween.
You can be a
Pilgram
Indian
Or an Animal.

On another note.

Some people are just too attractive for their own good.

And on one more note,

I love the friends I've made here.

Specifically two.

Lindsey and Jake.

Lindsey.

She is this happy, confident girl who is simply amazing. She is so fun to be around and she magnifies with the gospel. She's a good influence on me, and is always there when I need her.

Jake.

He knows a lot about me, but chooses to stick around. He is such a good example to me. We goof around all the time, but when needed, he helps me and is serious.

These two cool cats are my two new best friends. They are just so awesome, I don't even know what to do with myself.

The End.

USU

School stresses me out.
It's official.
I'm dropping out.

Just kidding.
But I'd like to.
It would be less stressful.

But then I would just be stressed out about how I'm going to, you know, live.

And if I dropped out, how would I be able to feed **Leo??

HE WOULD STARVE.
**Leo is my goldfish.

So I'm writing a paper right now. And I have MAJOR writers block.
And it's my english final.
And it's due tomorrow.
And I am so screwed over.

Oh well.

Mark Bell

Mark.

Mark Bell.

This piece of work, I met last night.

Granted, I was a bit hyper last night.
But that's only because I ate a sugar cookie. WITH FROSTING.

And I was with Lindsey. Which, she is just awesome.

So anyway.. Mark Bell.

Mark Bell is a tall, dirty blond, plaid wearing RM. He served in Brazil. He likes people, and not Biology.

But here's the thing about Mark Bell.
He is sort of a stud. And I wanted to dance with him last night. But did he ask me to dance?


No.


Mark Bell did NOT ask me to dance.

Okay, Okay, maybe I didn't want to dance to the slow songs last night. But I still would have said yes!
But did he ask me?

No.

But it's okay Mark Bell, I forgive you.

So the next time you google your name and this blog post pops up, just know...

I think you're super attractive.
But you were kind of mean to me.

Have a nice day.
:)

P.S. I hope you found an apartment.

Library

I should be writing my research paper right now.

I'm in the library.
Laptop out.
Ready to go.

But there's just one problem.


I don't want to.

And I can't stop thinking about things.

You see, I have this thing called I'M INSANE.
And it makes it so I can't think.

Plus, I want to sit at the table next to me.
But can I?

No.

Because there is already someone sitting there.

And he's sorta cute.

Why the piss is this happening?

Oh, I know.
Because the world hates me.

That's why it's not Thanksgiving or Christmas yet.
That's why it's Thursday instead of Friday.
That's why my class was cancelled.

Actually that last one was a good one..

Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time I was walking to class when I saw my teacher walking in the opposite direction. I stopped and thought to myself "Self, why is your teacher not going to class?" And then it hit me. *WHAP* Class must be cancelled! But I better go, just to make sure.
So I went and a class that is usually full to the brim within 5 minutes had 5 people in it. So I asked a few people, and then left.
But I have a writing center visit in an hour, so I don't really want to go back to my dorm room or I'll get distracted. Or, more distracted then I already am.

So here I am, in the Library, sitting next to a cute guy, hoping he invites me to sit next to him.

Yolo.

Marriage

Yes ma'am.
Marriage is a FREAKING SCARY THING.

I'm only 18.
Now, only being 18, I'm freaking out.
1. I live in Utah.
2. I'm a Mormon.

Marriage is sorta a huge deal in Utah and when you're a mormon.
ESPECIALLY when you're a mormon.

So, here I am.

A mormon.

18.

And Single.

AND I'M LOVING IT.

But others? Don't so much.

Others don't get that.

They need a boyfriend (or girlfriend).
They need a ring.
They need kids.
They need everything.

But not me.

I don't wanna get married!

I don't wanna grow up!

I don't wanna!!

Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, "I'll try again tomorrow." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Sing with me.

Dream on.

Sometimes, I have a bad day. And sometimes, those days are today.

But you wanna know something?

I am SO grateful.

I am grateful for a place to live, food to eat, people to see, stuff to be learned, and a roommate to talk to.

And I'm grateful for my mom.

Boys Boys Boys

Why are there so many cute boys?

Why can't they just love me?

I ask myself these questions all the time.

I'm sitting here in institute and I look over and guess what I see? An attractive boy.

Now, this isn't the first time I've seen this one cute boy.

I've seen him before.

Here.

In institute.

But here's the thing.. I haven't talked to him. Which is weird. Because usually if I see a cute boy, I go up to them and say::

"Hi, my name is Sierra and I think you're super cute."

And you wanna know what else? I'm a total stalker.

Cause his name is Brad,

His favorite color is green,

He loves Chinese food,

He also is in love with veggie tales.

Ahaha just kidding. I don't know any of that. Except his name.

His name is Brad.

I got a new phone.
Of course, I don't have it yet.

I went home.

Stressful

I'm all signed up for classes.

I got really stressed out yesterday while registering. Banner kept signing me out and wouldn't load the page and blah blah blah.
But then I started to read.

I read the Conference Edition of the Ensign. And it was simply amazing what happened.
I stopped worrying, and I stopped freaking out, and I stopped everything. And I just read. Every once in a while I would look up at my computer screen and see if the page had loaded.
It usually had.

I read three talks, and I got into all of my classes.

Let it Snow.

I wake up in the morning feeling like Sierra

Got my glasses I'm out the door I'm gonna hit those classes

Before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of toothpaste

Cause when I leave for the day I am coming back.

Lights

I love Christmas Lights. I love the way they sparkle in pictures. I love the way they glow in the snow. I love the way they light up a room with a soft light.

It makes me feel reverent. Just something about them, I love.

Be

I made some new friends today. Their names are Jasmine, Caitlin, Emily, and.. Well crap. I forgot the last girls name.
But that's okay, because I probably won't ever see them ever again.

On another note, I've been feeling lonely lately. I don't know why.

I'm surrounded by great friends.

In a great place.

With a bunch of great things happening around me.

But why do I feel so lost?

I know I know. That's so cliche.
But, it's true.
And you know you've felt it too.
Or maybe you haven't.
You're your own person.

Be who you want.

You want a Taco? Have a Taco!

Little

I'm getting a new phone. An iPhone 4. Praise The Lord. Mine is so broken, I don't even know how to handle it.

I also have a new phone case. It has space on it, and it's also glow in the dark. No big deal but it's a huge deal.

I'm so excited!

In other news, I'm going to get a new laptop soon. Hopefully soon, anyway.

What's that? You want to know what's wrong with it?

Well, I'll tell you!!

The battery doesn't work very well, the brightness flickers, the mouse holds down, and the CD drive isn't working.

But those are all fixable I believe, so I might just get them fixed instead of getting a whole new laptop.

But if I do get a new laptop, I'll probably sell this one to my roommie, Jessica. She is in desperate need of a new laptop, she technically doesn't even have one. She's using her sisters.

And another thing, I register for classes tonight at 10. And I'm freaking out.

Just a little bit.

Just What You Needed Today.

Quote of the Day

I am who I am. Your approval is not needed. -Unknown

I love this quote. It's on a picture with a dog who has funny looking glasses. I love it so much, it's funny.

I try to live by this saying. I don't want to be afraid to be myself because of what others think. I want to be me, nothing to stop me.

I'm so Lucky

I love my family. I love my parents. And I love the people I have met in college.

You know, a lot of my posts make it sound like I hate the world. I really don't. I really, really don't.

Life has it's ups and downs and all that crap. But that doesn't mean it can't be fun at the same time.

Over the weekend I went to the DI. Of course. And I got a book there called "Good Advice." And, believe it or not, it has a lot of good advice in it. And, I know, I haven't read all of it yet. But I flipped open to a page and it said "Endurance" and I had to keep reading. The second quote down said:

"Don't let the bastards grind you down." -Motto of General Joseph W. Stilwell

I love that. I love that so much.

Saige

I love Dino nuggets.
Anyway. I dyed my hair. Well, the bottom of my hair. The under layer. It's a purpley-red color now, more normal than my flaming red. It turned out really dark though. But that's okay.
I saw Austenland last night with Mom and Saige. It was HILARIOUS. I wanna go see it again.
Now Saige is straightening my hair. What a great sister.
I don't know what I would do without her.
Saige is one of my best friends. She's so nice and totally supports me in whatever I do. She is one of the best sisters ever.

246

I feel like I blog too much. People tell me that I blog everyday, like it's a big deal. But hey, it's my way of being creative and such. So I blog. I blog and I blog and I blog.
Some girl just hit me in the head with her backpack.
And I was all 'I WILL CUT YOU' but not really cause all she did was hit my head a little so it's really no big deal.
Oh no.. Class has started. I better take notes.
Females outlive males.
Brain loses volume and weight as we grow older. (PROOF I'M SMARTER THAN MY BROTHER)
Well this is boring. Let's see.... I'm.... I'm going home today. That's pretty exciting. I'M SO EXCITED.

Okay, I forgot to post this. But I am going to now.. But first... Surprise! I'm home!

Ensign

I'm going home today. It should be really fun. It was originally going to be a surprise to my parents, because I wasn't going to tell them. But some stuff got mixed up and it's not a total surprise anymore. But that's okay. I'm fine. *sniff sniff
Just kidding, I really am fine.
I went shopping yesterday, and guess what I bought? The conference edition of the Ensign! That thing is filled with so many nuggets of knowledge..
I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Other than Partying It Up with the Fam - And Writing a Research Paper... - I'll be finding little pieces of AHH in that little magazine right there.
Can I get a Woot Woot??

Story of My FREAKING LIFE

I don't really get embarrassed. But I still think this is super funny.

Pretty much everyday I think to myself "Self?" ... That's it.

This just kills me every time I watch it.
Hashtag Food Baby Er'y Day

A little inspiration here and there never hurt anyone.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Exciting

So today, I ate my breakfast at lunch. I woke up tired. And I am not wearing a shirt.
Wait wait wait... Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Lunch at lunch, waking up refreshed, wearing clothes?
Well. It seems to me like it's going to be an exciting day.
And for all of you that are thinking "She's in Human Development without a shirt on?? Shirtless?? No shirt?? WHAT.", I'm wearing a sweater. So please, calm it down.
So... It's getting cold. And I was SO excited. Until I realized that I can't go skiing, cause I'm in college now. And I'm poor. And have no car. And have no skis or boots here. And I just wanna cry.
I'm so over this whole "college" thing. I don't like being poor. And I don't like not having a car.
Oh well. What can ya do.

Emotionally Sick

You wanna know something? I'm pretty sick. Sick of people ditching me. Sick of people using me. Sick of everything people do to hurt others.
Why is there pain? I know I know, we need pain to feel... Not pain... But do we really need all that crap? Pain, Hurt, Sadness, Loneliness, Depression, Anger? All that, for Happy?
I don't know. I just don't know.
Life can suck sometimes. And that sometimes for me is right now. And yeah, it sucks. But. When it's over, it's gonna feel awesome.
So all I gotta do, is stick with it a little longer, to be able to feel that Happy. Just deal with Pain, Hurt, Sadness, Loneliness, Depression, and Anger. To reach the Happy.
And I know I'll make it.

I miss McKay

I miss home. You could say I'm a bit homesick. And I don't just miss my home and my family. But I miss my friends. I miss being able to call one up and see them in the next 5-15 minutes. I miss hanging out with Bry Bry and Xbox. What happened between me and her? I screwed up. That's what. Or was it because I told you? I don't know. Either way, it was, and is, my fault.

But let's stop talking about that, because that's sad, and I don't like sad blog posts.. Unless I'm feeling sad. And I'm not right now. SO LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW ATTRACTIVE MCKAY IS.

McKay is a cowboy. I have a special spot in my heart for cowboys. I don't know what it is, but I just love them. It's not like I sit there and think about how it would be to be a cowboy's wife. Because I don't, cause that's just weird. But I do miss him. I miss hanging out with McKay at school.. Even though I didn't even get to hang out with him all that much. But when I did see him, it was always fun, and always amazing.

I miss McKay.

Effin' Perfect

I fell off my longboard today because I was wearing the wrong shoes. Stupid boots.

On another subject, people suck. With all their hidden talents and such. Let's take painting for example. Why do people have to be better than me? Someone totally random who, is pretty much perfect, of course can paint as well as Van Gogh. What the piss. Like seriously, why do so many people have to be so perfect at everything? Let's talk about how annoying perfect people can be... WHY?! WHY CAN'T THEY BE ANNOYING?!!

Perfect people just piss me off.
