Crossroads

So I've decided everything in life comes down to a point,

a crossroad,

a decision

this could've been a little decision

such as like in high school

deciding

hanging out with friends vs. finishing homework and going to bed at a normal hour

summer before college

wondering if the college I chose was the right one

or even just what to do that day

that can change the course of the way you live that day

but sometimes these decisions and crossroads involved

friendships or relationships that you never imagined being compromised

and it sent you through a spiral of

"what have I done, why did I let that happend, etc."

but it's these moments in life where I realized things about myself I never would've figured out

without going through that pain and decision making

sometimes you realize that things in your life are
poisoning your chance to grow in life,

but you also see who and what is there to help you get through everything,

to help you grow and succeed in life.
you find out that sometimes things or people are
only put in your life temporarily because you needed them at that time
but not necessary now.

you also realize you're stronger than you thought your "weak" self was.

that even though that time in your life was hard

you got through it and now you can say

you "survived" that because you were strong enough

and that life is all about how you make it.

Like my friend Becca called her blog:

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing"

Don't let the hardships in your life determine you,

they're only there to help you learm, and grow.

My friend Jentre said the most amazing thing on her facebook status the other day

"I love knowing that each morning I wake up,

 it means I get to start another wonderful day

and add another page to this book, called life. Sweet dreams:)"

rememeber that even if you have a horrible day today

tomorrrow is a new day

and you can make it how you want it to be.

If you want to have a good day

have a positive mindset and let life be the beautiful thing that it's suppose to be.

:)

have a wonderful Sunday

Crazy moments that define life- I YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY BLOG!

Have you ever just been sitting around
and started thinking about all those things that happened in your life
and just say "I wish I could go back in time and change that.."?
or go back and stop something from ever happening

I have often wished this upon myself
until I think about how if something didn't happen to me,
or if something had happened differently
then my life could have potentially been very different

Example:
if my parent's had decided to keep me back another year before kindergarden
then I would've been a year behind and I never wouldn't've went to Construction Zone Jr. high and High School because by the time I was in 8th grade they would've had the two Jr highs
and I would've stayed at Diamond Back Snake Jr High
when I was a sophomore Eagle Zone High would've been built
and I would've just gone there.
I never would've meet my friends that I have now and my life would be soo different.
did that make any sense?? HAHAH


So a great many things have happened in my life

most were crazy weird and I dunno how to feel about them

but it's these priceless funny, sad, tramautizing, crazy moments that define my life

and I wanted to share some of these moments.

Moments of who knows what with
my sister Jo

*Dinner Dos and Don'ts
*Random Juice Story
*Birthday Cupcakes
*Making Ice -STAR SHAPED ICE!
*Cheating and using Youtube to solve computer games

This is Jo shoving a cookie in my mouth and yelling at me
for eating it at the same time
HAHAH
we're weird :)
but I love her
and we always have crazy adventures
I choreograph her solos
and we make shirts
and facebook each other while we sit on the same bed
and watch Hello Kitty and Barbie
and sing all the songs at the top of our lungs
people wish they were cool like us ;)

Pretty much failing out of 7th Grade
yeah... I really did
but I'm glad this happened
 it made me realize that school is important
and that after that my grades would start to really count
for college admission and such
so it made me buckle down and actually start tryng harder
and then my grades weren't a problem after that
and I graduated high school with high honors

Dance Appreciation
and to think I hated classes before this...
I think the only classes I hate more than this
was PE and Computer Tech/Financial Lit
This class was AWFUL!!!!
I had a teacher who was Chinese
and she could barely speak english so you could never understand her
and the class was sooo boring
luckily that's the class were I meant some of my great friends
that I now hang out with
*Jentri (Sushi and Jazzy Javas buddy!)
*Carter (who always makes life super fun)
*Connor(Tanner's Roommate-LOVE THIS KID!)
*Jordan
*Maddie
we had random funny inside jokes in that class
between us
"Lost In Space"
"I Need Alcohol For This"
"She Has Pants!"
"*Twitch* what?!"
"Kesha Has Arrived!"
hahah hated that class but the students DEFINATELY made it worth going to/
 or at least bareable to sit through

Getting Through my First Semester of College

wow it's been a hard few months but I MADE IT! :)

So that's some of the moments I wanted to share
hope you had fun looking back at these memories as much as I did
especially if you shared these moments with me

and always remember
you can't change your past but you can always
look forward to the future and make it the
way you want it to be
and only look back to the past
to remember how it made you who you are today

:)
