Things I have learned in college so far....

So I am almost done with my second year at the U and I was thinking about all the stuff I have learned...
and really some of it I didn't learn in class....
Well...let's be real, most of it I didn't learn in class.
And because I really like bullet point lists....I'm gonna throw some knowledge down in a bullet list.
Don't get too excited 
and this is probably only part one...there is a lot more that I have learned that I have yet to throw down into words.
I'm basically awesome.

Gems I have learned in my two years as a Ute (Part I)

·      Most days it is a beautiful day to skip class
   When you’re studying tonight, remember how much fun you could be having at a nearby frat house
·         Only going to class to see the hot guy that sits in front of you, even if you don’t say anything to him
·         Girls get your running shoes laced up. Cleat chasing season is right around the corner.
·         Remember: get an education because “swag” isn’t going to pay your bills in 10 years
·         If the cops want to catch drunk drivers they should chill in the Taco Bell’s drive thru anytime after midnight.
·         It’s not always the grades you make, but the hands you shake
·         A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library
·         If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail
·         In college you can party, study or sleep, but there is only time in a day for two of them
·         When reviewing your notes before an exam, the most important will be illegible
·         If you are given an open-book exam, you will forget your book
·         80% of the final exam will be based on the one lecture you missed and the one book you didn’t read
·         Every professor assumes that you have nothing else to do except study for their course
·         Copy from one it’s plagiarism. Copy from many, it’s research
·         We never really grow up, we just learn how to act in public
·         Your mind plans to log into your online school account; your fingers log into Twitter and Facebook
·         Girls: tripped in my heels last night 7 times. Can’t find my phone. Hooked up, hope he was an athlete
·         Screw this, I’m leaving class 30 minutes early to go eat
·         Not knowing your plans for the weekend until ten minutes before
·         ATM = Another Twenty Missing
·         Finding out the class notes are all online = “see you losers at finals”
·         No shave November leads to can’t get laid December
·         Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions
·         If there’s not a ring on your finger, you’re single
·         There’s a special place in hell for people that take up two parking spots during finals week
·         If you blow up a girl’s phone, Facebook or Twitter and she doesn’t reply, get the hint bro
·         There is a special place in hell for people who get ready for an 8 am class
·         If you’re not young and wild, you will never be old and wise
·         90% of the stuff you worry about isn’t going to happen. Except for that Calculus final, that’s definitely going to happen
·         “He has a girlfriend” Challenge accepted
·         Due tomorrow = Do Tomorrow
·         Wait…there’s a school part of college??
·         I’ve never been to hell but I imagine it is very similar to an 8am class
·         Tim to begin cultivating a fake friendship with the nerd sitting next to me if I have any hope of passing this class
·         To go to class, or not to go to class: that is the question
·         C’s get degrees
·         If someone deleted google I would fail all of my classes
·         It’s ok to make mistakes, just don’t date them
·         Dear Thin Mints and the little whore that sold them to me: screw you for ruining my spring break body
·         That awkward moment when the kid next to you is bragging how he got a 97 on his exam and doesn’t know it was out of 200
·         That awesome moment when your used books already have all the important parts highlighted
·         So studying makes the tests easier? Good to know
·         “Hey did you study for the test?” “We have a test?”
·         Changing the date on your papers so it doesn’t look like you did it last minute
·         “this is not a paper you can write overnight class.” Don’t underestimate me
·         “Sleep now study later” quickly turns into “screw it, I’ll just fail”

Much love,

The One With All the Quotes

Here's something that shouldn't ever come as a surprise to people....I really love quotes...can't help it I just do
So I figured that while I am avoiding my homework (like a boss might I add) I thought that I would share a few of my favorite quotes with all of you.
Please try to contain your excitement...no need to embarrass yourself over this.

  • "You were created in God's image. God makes no mistakes. To put yourself down for the way you are is to insult God's handiwork. You are beautiful."
  • "Let go of feeling you are anything but beautiful. Let go of thinking you can't do this on your own. Let go of being scared that you might not be good enough. Let go of saying you were meant to be alone." -Pasek and Paul, 'Edges'
  • "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything."
  • "Sometimes not being in control is the most beautiful thing in the world."
  • "We need to teach our daughters the difference between a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her. A man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her. A man who views her a property and a man who views her properly. A man who lusts after her and a man who loves her. A man who believes he is God's gift to woman and a man who remembers a woman is God's gift to man. And then we need to teach our sons to be that kind of man.
  • "Every saint has a past and ever sinner has future." -Oscar Wilde
  • "A person who is nice to you but is not nice to the waiter is not a nice person."
  • "Counting other people's sins does not make you a saint."
  • "Don't marry a man unless you would be proud to have a son exactly like him."
  • "Boys like blondes, men fall in love with brunettes"
  • "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people that you are...you aren't."
  • "Cinderella is proof that a new pair of shoes can change your life."
  • "When life gets too hard to stand, kneel."
And there really are sooooooooooooo many more. But those are the ones that drift to the top of the pile when I think about my favorite quotes. Much love!

Without you......

You guys

....I miss football....

so much

Seriously though, what do people watch on the off season??
And yes I do realize how sad this sounds and what a first world problem this is....but just deal with it. It makes me sad haha.
I sit around on Saturdays and Sundays with nothing to do..nothing to watch and nothing to get my blood boiling..
Monday nights aren't the same without the Monday Night Football theme song
Thursday nights.....well we aren't even discuss how depressing those are.

I need the NFL back...I need NCAA football back....this is going to be a looooooong off season
This is just NOT ok.
August 30th...the first University of Utah football game....So excited!

MUSS registration just got me all excited for football to start back up and I have to wait another 5 1/2 months give or take a few days.....I think it might kill me.....GAAAAAHHHHH

I mean basketball is all well and good....but it just doesn't fill the void in my heart.
Besides March Madness ruins my birthday month ;)

Althooooooooough even though I want football season to come back as quickly as possible that would mean that the summer would be over really quickly...so I guess it is more of a give and take thing...because I also want summer to hurry up and get here.
I am so excited for long summer nights, spontaneous adventures, flip flops, short shorts and tank tops.
I'm ready for warm weather and lazy days.
Road trips to St. George, Las Vegas and California with my best friends.
I just cannot wait for summer. I have a good feeling that summer 2012 will be an epic one.


I am REALLY missing Ravens football......football please come back!!



Sometimes it feels as if all that I am doing is waiting for something to start haha; football, summer, school. the end of school. Which is crazy. I should just let go and enjoy the ride :)
Much love!
