Oh summer.

I have no reason to get ready for the day.
Everyone is on #myorigination.
I need a job. Pronto.
I like to sit and eat ice cream a lot.
And watch TV.
And shop online.
I signed up for classes in the fall, and I'm taking yoga at 6:30 am. I'm scared.
I need to train for my triathlon.
I hang out with my parents every night.
Being graduated is weird.

#Rilltalk

Let's be rill. Rill.

The majority of BYU fans ARE annoying.

People who don't like chocolate are kind of crazy.

My boss at firehouse subs was the biggest immature baby ever when I quit. Then I go to my best friend's wedding and his wife is their niece. Horrid.

Graduating is way more exciting than sad.
Everybody needs a little rap in their life. Even if they try to tell you they don't like it. "They just like Christina Perry and Jack Johnson."

Cheese is the best thing ever.

Going off sugar is a bad idea. Sugar makes you happy.

Brain is fried.

Today I took the AP calculus test. I feel like I did terrible. I'm sure I didn't pass. It was harder than I expected...that's never good. But now it's over and I can stop stressing about it. Senior year! Senior year!
Sorry if you're reading this. I know it's lame.
Love,

P.s. Actually now I can stress about speaking in church on mother's day....

I remember.

I remember when we were best friends. I remember wanting to spend every day with you. I remember how it all ended for unknown reasons. And I'm trying to remember that it's for the better.

I am a student, not a victim

I heard this saying and after some thought, I really liked it. "I am a student, not a victim." It took me a while to understand it.
Bad things happen and we feel like victims. People are victims of cancer, loneliness, loss, etc. I like to think of it as being a student (that doesn't mean I do. This is new to me.)
Being a student to your problems rather than a victim allows you to grow. Ask yourself what the experience has taught you and how it was valuable.

Blackout Poetry

34 days

What's on my mind? 34 days. This gives me one of those rushes of excitement. Like when you remember something exciting is going to happen and you suddenly get really happy. Graduation it's going to be a good day. Maybe I should write a poem about it.
Graduation is upon us.
The day we have been waiting for.
A new chapter is ahead,
And we will turn back no more.
TJ is gone. I might as well be gone.
Now we decide who we really want to be.
Won't it be interesting to see.....

I'll obviously become a famous poet.
