I have been a horrible blogger. I have not blogged in weeks and so much has happened! I got back to Utah, started the semester, started a new job, and I'm trying to change some habits. You can say I have been busy.
Winter semester started out with really cold weather here in Provo. When I go back to Utah my windshield wipers were frozen. I felt like I was a walking popsicle. Over the past couple of weeks I have been trying to survive school, work and my so called life. It has been filled with endless nights, ice cream stains, confused feelings, and one missed class.
Work you may ask? Yes I finally got a job this semester! You can say that I'm lunch lady which is the truth. I work at the Missionary Training Center just down a ways down from school. At first I was like this is going to "fun" but you know what it's not that bad. I have only slipped one plate, knocked out about 8 paper bowls, almost slipped on just mopped floors (that I mopped!) and dropped pasta sauce on my shoes. Overall I think it's going pretty good. The first day I worked I saw two people I knew which was awkward and really funny. Oh well.
School? It's school. What else is there to say. I attend classes and bought books that make me cry when I look at the cost. I say I hate one class one day and the next day I say I love it. I ask myself what am I doing with my life but then I think at least I'm trying. There. Enough said.
New year, new me? Yes you can count on that! So I am on a path to change myself but in a good way! I want to be able to tackle this year with more confidence in myself and be more spontaneous. So far I have tried and failed to get a boys attention but you know what who cares? At least I tried. I bought re lipstick the other day for the first time. I had to remind myself new year, new me. I am working to change my studying habits and stop procrastination. Not to mention doing a little thing called saving money maybe for a summer trip. Last but not least I'm trying to have a healthier lifestyle and yes that means maybe dropping a few pounds.
Okay my fellow readers I'm off. Remember, new year, new me.

2012: A Year to Remember
So the year 2012 has come to an end and 2013 has began. I just want to take some time to reflect on the past year. I learned a lot of things, had many experiences, and had major changes in my life.
Something I learned was to remember who I am. During winter semester I had a low point that I wish to never go through again. At one point I just wanted to give up. Feeling alone in a huge university campus is probably one of the worst feelings. I tried to ignore how I was feeling at first but that didn't work. I began reflecting on who I was and what my purpose was. My purpose at school that is. Those thoughts helped me get through the semester thankfully.
Another major thing of 2012 was letting go of someone in my life. The time finally came and I realized what I wanted in my future. So what did I learn from that? Heartbreak. Sure it hurts at first but in the end you realize you made the right choice. For a long a time I fooled myself. It took some to learn that but I am thankfully I did. It was probably one of the most painful things of the year but it was the one change which taught me a lot. It taught me I could do hard things. It taught me I can do things alone. It taught me I had strength. But most importantly it reminded me of what I really wanted in my future.
2012 was a year I learned about the power of friendship. I made new friends in the past year and also reconnected with old friends. I spent last summer surrounded by my friends and it was by far the best summer so far. Throughout the year when things went sour in my life my friends were there to help me get through it. Especially when I was away from home.
I learned to take chances and to hope for the best. Sometimes those chances turned out differently than I expected but I learned to move on. Something that I was scared of before was letting myself do things I have never done and well this year I guess I just let myself to the impossible.
Now the question is what is going to happen in 2013? I'm looking forward to what this year has in store for me. A lot of things could happen but I'm hoping for the best. There are a lot of things I want to do this year and this time I'm going to take more chances. You know live a little. In 2012 there was "YOLO" but this year I'm going to see it as there's only one 2013. Wish me luck.
