I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!

Lupe Fiasco & the day that never ended.

Meet Shem (aka schme)

He is from England.

He joined us this weekend.

Our day began early on Saturday when my fabulous friends helped me move.

Then we took a break and ate at Zupa's...

Then Shem wanted to shop at the Gateway.

So we went... for 6ish hours!

Then decided it was the last night of summer so we better celebrate.

So we went to a dance at Wolverine Crossing.

And got rained on.

So we ate otter pops

CHEERS.

I guess I'll mention the Lupe Fiasco concert.

Although, it's not really worth mentioning.

But we went.

I like these people. A lot.

And of course,

a tune to make your Monday a little better.

Leadership Day 2011

Leadership Day was great.

Lee Mun Wah was the keynote speaker

and he spoke to us UVU leaders about diversity

among the students at UVU. We took part in some

interesting ice breakers & got to know lots of new people.

UVU has some great leaders for this 2011-2012 school year!

I learned how to be a leader by listening.

Some of us UVUSA kids being crazy.

Listening to Lee Mun Wah

a picture with THE Karson Kalt

Kaitlin & I

Dedicated to the chicken Tyler killed in Fiji.

Listening to a lecture by Andrew Stone

in a breakout session about being

an advocate for the students!

Andrew Stone is awesome!! It was good to have him back at UVU.

Overall, it was a great experience.

I love being a senator at UVU.

I have a passion for helping these students

& trying to make UVU a better place for future students.

This has been a great experience & I am learning so much

about communicating, networking, & reaching out to those students

who think they don't have a voice on campus.

Can't wait for next week, WEEK OF WELCOME!

Neglect

I have been neglecting my blog a bit lately.

But let's be honest, do you really wanna hear about

work

eat

sleep

repeat

...

However,

Recently I set up an iTunes account (better late than never right?)

Next stop smart phone.

BUT this is a bad bad thing for my bank account!

You know how much music I post on here!

Well, today I bought the entire Across the Universe album.

Have you seen it?

You should.

It's very artsy.

Made by Julie Taylor but you will like it if Baz Luhrmann is your kind of guy.

Ex: Moulin Rouge

Anyways... check out one of my fav songs posted below.

Jim Sturgess

The main guy

Is a genius!

I MUST see One Day

his most recent movie.

Check out his smooth voice.

How can you not melt over that accent?

Just sayin'

think about it.

Yep, it's Monday.

Hello there,

Well another week begins and summer is winding down.

Honestly once it hits August 1st it just feels like school has started already.

We have 2 official weeks before I drop off the face of the earth,

haha just kidding.

But not really.

This past weekend I went home to Vegas.

Naturally it was really fun but sadly I took ZERO pictures.

NOT like me at all right!?

The most exciting thing that happened to me was almost dying on the plane ride home... Maybe I'm being dramatic but I actually thought I was going to die.

We flew through a thunder storm so it was crazy bumpy...

The lightening was flashing through the windows and the lights were flickering

The plane started dropping in huge dips and shaking like crazy.

People were actually SCREAMING and children were crying.

Planes really scare me anyways so I was freaking out

The lady next to me was hyperventilating.

I remember first thinking, who is going to tell my parents I died?

How will they find out?

Then I got super annoyed that I'm going to die at 20 years old and I haven't done anything cool yet. And then I was like what the heck I don't wanna die in a plane crash!

I think it's funny now that I'm safely on the ground

Haha, but at least it's a good story!

And I'm alive so that's really all that matters.

Here is a little music to spice up your Monday.

"Find life experiences and swallow them whole.

Travel.

Meet many people.

Go down some dead ends and explore dark alleys.

Try everything.

Exhaust yourself in the glorious pursuit of life."

Meet Tyler Hilton

You might recognize him as Chris Keller from One Tree Hill

Or as Drew in Taylor Swift's Tear Drops On My Guitar video.

Anyways, he's awesome.

And playing at the Davis County Fair next week...

You can count on me being there!

p.s. I apologize for my constant music posts. Clearly I have a problem.

p.p.s. I'm going home today!

p.p.p.s. Click here to listen to one of Tyler's songs.

On a completely unrelated note.

I love this song.

Brian Head/ Panguitch Lake

This weekend my family and I escaped to the mountains

We went to Brian Head/ Panguitch Lake

It was so nice to relax & hang out with them!

Fishing is a big hobby in my fam.

I caught that fish!!

We ate lunch in a restaurant right by the water.

It was super yummy.

But most importantly I ran into this bear...

which got us talking about being attacked by a bear...

FYI if you run into a black bear it will chase you till you

fight it or die. If you run into a grizzly- play dead.

Fun stuff... I know!

The highlight of our trip was our waiter.

He plays Liberace in Vegas once a week.

And his real name is Will Collins

which happens to be the name of my brother's best friend...

Will is so wise.

"Birds of the same feather. Flock together."

We got an autographed picture.

Classics that never let me down.

If you're anything like me.

You'll love this.
