Time For Change

This makes me Happy!


Okay so this week has been probalby one of the best weeks of fall semester, why? Because I was socail again..I played with old friends, I played with new friends...and there is just something about being with friends and
people that make you soo happy!

Even with this week being as amazing as it was, I still feel like i need to change my life..hence why I started by chainging the look of my blog, there are just those times in life when you NEED a change in your life.

So what things am I going to change?
My Hair: I am so board with it, and I want new bangs badly!!
(Any suggestions for hair styles accepted!)
My Room: I never fully got it decorated the way i wanted this year..i kinda feel embarressed when people come in my room, because it doesn't fully represent me..or what i want it to reprsent.
(Help with moving furniture would be geat :)
My Free Time Activities: Sometimes i am disapointed in what i end up doing or getting done in the hours I am home.

These three things are what I am going to focus on this month! First off with my hair, well we all know i am really bad with making decisions, so here is an example of a hair style I liked having. And this is an example of how like my bangs, but i would maybe do more piecy bangs...uhh i suck at decisions. So any input would be awesome :)!

Next with my room, well it's small and there is not much room for rearanging, but i have one idea, and then i am going to finally print pictures from costco and put them on my wall...oh and i am going to get a plant..so who wants to come pant shoppings?!

And lastly with my free time activities...well first I am going to be good at gettting homework done in a timely manner. And i vow not to spend too much time on the computer as the weather starts to get colder..it's going to be hard, but I plan on staring up crafts/frinedship braceltes, reading, and visting friends more often!

So here is to Change! My list is here on the internet, so know you can all keep tabs on if i really reach my goal for the month! So if you are feeling down or not so happy with how things are going, try changing some things up, oh and visiting old friends always makes your day brighter!!


Love you all!

Hockey Vs. Opera

This past week i had 2 NEW experiences; going to a hockey game and going to an opera. Now you may not think you can compare the two..but from my experiences you most certainty can :).

When you hear the phrase "Hockey Game" you probably think "fun,exciting, intense fights, some good ice action" right??...well Friday night may or may not have proved that theory wrong. Granted i had never really been to a hockey game before, so i did not know any of the rules. So Lauren, Felipe,  Damion (sp.) and i showed up to the BYU Utah State game right after the 1st quarter had just ended it was 1-0 for Utah State, not bad right. Okay well in the 2nd quarter Utah State scored 10 pts and BYU scored 0...you can just imagine how fun that was...BYU could not get a handle on the puck at all..they always lost control! We left after the 2nd quarter to go play rockband..needless to say my favorite part of the whole game was the breaks where they played music and talking to Lauren. At least we had 2 for 1 coupons.


Now for Opera. When you hear Opera most people may think "long and boring". Well Thursday night i attended Mozarts Magic Flute put on by BYU's performing arts students. The opera is about a prince and his feathery friend who set off to find their true loves. Well if anyone knows me, you know i am a sucker for love...i am basically a hopeless romantic :). The singers were very good and i loved the humor, my favorite character is papagano...he is a bird catcher he kinda of represents the normal folk of us all. His costume with all the feathers and colors was my favorite! and of course he meets his papagana...and they have the cutest little papgana/o's! Of course the performance was a little long for my liking (3hrs), we got free tickets and maybe an idea for Halloween costumes, i might even say i enjoyed this more than the hockey game...

Soo the moral of the story... next time you are given the choice of attending a Hockey Game or An Opera...you may want to think twice about your decision. :). Also don't be afraid to go out and experience new things, who knows what you will learn or find!

The Cure For A Bad Day.

        You know that one moment in the day that only last 20 min, but ruins your whole day or that one little bit of information that just makes you wanna cry and go home never to see the world again? Let's face it we all have those days and sometimes they really suck.

          My day of not so happy-ness just happened to be yesterday. I had just returned from a much needed wonderful fall break, where i didn't once touch any sort of school work or work its self. As known before i left i had an in class writing letter assignment for my business communications class the day i returned. I was lucky enough to be given the computer that is having problems printing, so i had to email my letter to my teacher, simple task right...that's what i thought. I saved my document and went into my email and clicked on add attachment...well my "saved" document could not be found in any location...by this time the next class had come in and started class...i was feeling rushed and kept trying to find out what was happening, i walked to my teachers office only to find she was not there..i returned to the classroom(where the next class was going on) and tried again..i effenutally just copied and pasted my letter into an email...i was very upset and hated school at this moment!

         Well i was relieved to be done with school for the day I started heading to my car mumbling under my breath about how stupid school was! When i was half way to the parking lot i remembered i had in fact NOT parked in the usual parking lot i park in...i had parked in the lot clear across campus...well that just put me over the edge...from that point on i had decided: this day sucks! It may seem ridiculous that i let such little events effect me so much, but in the moment they seem like a HUGE deal!

You're probably wondering what good thing came out of yesterday. Well lots of things, but I rediscovered what makes me happy or what i like to title my list of happiness: The cure To Morgan's Bad Days.
  1.  Indulging in some good online television: "better with you"
  2.  Taking a much needed nap
  3. Jogging in fresh fall weather..that's a given, but i could run forever on bad days.
  4. Discovering old music you haven't listed to in forever that you love. 
  5.  Enjoying amazing weather
  6.  Talking with friends
  7.   Hanging out with kari at her Grandma's cozy home!...there is something about homes that just make you feel better inside!

The bad days are going to come, but what are we going to do to conquer them. Whether its watching your favorite tv show, enjoying the beauties of fresh air, or enjoying others company, God has given us life and the bright out look of the gospel to keep us going, and to eventually change our attitudes. What cures you on your bad days? Oh I can't forget to put a plug in for chocolate..it's a cure for any girls bad day!

The Life of a College Kid


Okay there are some who complain about the hard life of being a single college kid; you know having to work on top of going to classes and dating and being starving. That's a bunch of bull, I mean think about it what do we really have to complain about?! You can do anything your way! Here are my favorite things about being single and in college!

1. You get to eat whatever you want...whenever you want
2. Your wardrobe is doubled..aka roommates
3. Sleepovers every night
4. Get to play skip-bo with Kari every night..yes every night!
5. You get to live in spontaneity ALL the time!
6. You get to/forced to learn responsibility for yourself
7. You get to decorate things your way!
8. its all about you!
9. Dance parties In your house!
10. Meeting people from allover and being enlightened by them!

I know that this list may seem very selfish, and yes i admit being a single college kid you can become very selfish, but you also learn how to live with roommates and be there for them; when they are having relationship problems, when they do awesome on a test, when they just want to chat, and when you both have nothing to do on a Friday night. Yes, i am in one of the most exciting stages of life and i love every minute of it!
