quick catch up

for all my recent followers i want to catch you up on my life a little bit. first off, i just recently turned 18 years old. i have been in college for about a little over year now, and i am loving it. i hated school, from kindergarten to my very short high school (about a year) days i faked sick, or sluffed a lot. i didn't like my classmates, the constant drama, plus, i had chronic migraines (those were not faking). i went two trimesters my freshman year, then got a relapse of mono and then influenza. sophomore i went one trimester, if you can even count it, i faked and sluffed...a lot. can ya tell how much i hated my school? ha.

i lived in a small town where everyone thought it was their business to know every detail about every single persons life. it was hard, you could hardly do anything without a judgement. not saying i was a bad teenager, because i really wasn't, i just didn't hang out with the right kind of people. and honestly, i just don't think high school was for me.

anyway, after that mess of high school, when i decided to move on, i took online classes to graduate early. i hated them. so my parents and i decided that getting my GED was a better idea. that summer right after i turned 16 i got my GED, took my ACT, and applied to BYU-I. sure enough i got accepted. i started that fall and have been going since. i have been loving life ever since, well mostly ;) i love college so much! it is a blast, and i have met so many new people that have helped me change for the better.

so that is my life as of now. it would be my senior year of high school right now, and honestly i have no regrets about deciding to get out of there. i absolutely love where i am at in my life! :)

catch up on the wisdom teeth:
ouchy!
they didn't hurt too bad yesterday, i was taking two codeine pills, but today they are really hurting. i think i am going to take two the next couple times, then switch to one. it's hard for me to take codeine in the first place because it makes me nauseous, dizzy, feel like i'm floating, and not sleep. good thing about it though is that does take the pain away, but i want to get off of it as soon as i can. 

i used to complain a lot, but now i hate to complain about things. it makes me feel bad 'cause i really could have it so much worse. i hope i haven't sounded like i have been complaining the last couple days, i really have been lucky i haven't hurt that bad. 

i hope everyone has a wonderful tuesday!

thanks again for ALL of the kind thoughts, you guys are the best!! =]
xoxo,

  3. It definitely doesn't sound like you're complaining. I hate complaining too. I need to learn just not to do it, but it's hard when life sucks. (tee hee, get it? Complaining again... uh, yeah. :) )

  7. i'm not a "school" person either. although -- high school was fun for me, but thats more the social aspect of it, not the actual school part. i ditched a lot too!

    heal quickly! i still haven't gotten my wisdom teeth out (i'm 26)but i'm dreading the day i do have to get them out. it doesn't seem very fun, but good you're staying positive!

  8. you deserve to complain, you just got your teeth taken out.. OUCH! and I'm glad you never gave up on school and that college is much better for you!! I went to a really "rich" and preppy school as people around here call it and my senior year I got pregnant and decided to stay there and walk around like a big blimp in front of everyone and I took college classes as well through this program and it was awesome, i'm glad I didn't leave and give up!

  12. I just found your blog and am about to click the follow button! College is awesome, and now that I am at the end of my college career, I honestly have to say that it was the most trying, yet necessary part of my life. I have changed so much and I think it's such a blessing from the lord to have been able to make so many lasting friendships at my school!

    Have a lovely day!
