Daddy and daughter road trip!

  Fun fact: I love, love, love road trips. So before school started my dad and I decided that we were going to take one. Well okay he was going to help a friend move back to Utah, but I jumped on the chance for a 24 hour drive. So I am currently sitting in like my favorite place ever, Las Vegas. Fine it isn't my favorite place but I am always  in Vegas I swear. My next flight isn't for another two hours so I thought this would be a perfect time to blog! So we are flying to Birmingham, Alabama, from there my dad's friend is picking us up and driving two hours to his house in Columbus, Mississippi, spend a night or two and then get on the road! I am so pumped because we are stopping in Memphis, Tennessee and my dad tells me that it is super cool and fun. The only thing I am scared about is the fact that we will probably have to spend a night in Oklahoma because it is half way. Well those of you who know me, know I am deathly afraid of  tornadoes and it is tornadoes season down there. So just know that the whole time I will be crapping my pants. We will probably stay in Denver for a night too just because my dad has friends there also his work headquarters are there too. It is a pretty city, it is really hipster but it smelled like weed the entire time I was there. But whatever I am just so glad that I get to cross off five states of my map. It is my goal to go to all 50 states!

  I could not sleep last night so I ended up taking like an hour and half nap and just woke up at 4:20 it get ready. Normally if I got up at that time I would be a totally brat to pretty much anyone who walked into my path but today I was surprisingly pleasant and super nice. Which if you know me, that doesn't happen that much. So I am in a great mood up until I got one my flight. I got the window seat (thank god) well this dude sat at the end of the row, which was totally fine. Well then some chick who was probably a year or two older then me sat in between us. She had the long fake hair extension, she was totally wearing some corset, and some like butt padding I kid you not. She sits down and smacks me in the face with her extensions and since it was the first time I just let it slide like she probably didn't mean to. Well she kept whipping her hair around and just kept smacking me in the face. I wanted to be like look lady we are on an airplane and there is no space so could you not whip your 10$ hair extensions around like you are Willow Smith. And she kept bouncing her knee/leg so I could not go to sleep so now I am in just the worst mood possible.

So Surreal

 Everything is becoming so surreal. I leave for school in three weeks, like that is crazy. I have been getting a lot of things for my dorm room and getting the last few things I need. I feel like at any moment I am going to finally break down and start crying. It just hasn't hit me yet. My best friend is moving to Idaho to go to BYUI and that is normally like 4 hours from my house but now it will be 6 hours from school. So that sucks. My friend Erin is going to Utah state which is like 3 hours away. It is all just so sad and you don't really think about how much you really care and love your friends until they move away and you can't see them every day. But the good thing is one of my really close friends that I have known since 5th grade is going down to Snow with me, so it makes it all just a little better.

Money, Money, Money

  Currently freaking out because I move out in like a month. And I am started to realize that I don't have half the things I need, also I still haven't find out if I got any grants to help with school so not only am I freaking out but so is my dad. I thought that I got the majority of things at the beginning of summer with graduation money, but I didn't. It is a little overwhelming to think I have to pack up my entire life and move it into a tiny little room I share with someone else. There really isn't that much space for each of us but I guess that's what I get for wanting the full college experience.

 With the job I have now it doesn't pay that much and there is no way I can get a whole new  wardrobe like I wanted too:( And thanks to my friend for getting me hooked on Pinterest I just cry cause I want all the clothes on there. It also doesn't help that I have an expensive taste but no money to my name. But this is why I wanted to take a year off to work and save money and then go when I could afford it without having to take out student loans but my dad pushed me to go. But now he is like getting all worked up about how much it is, and I just want to tell him told you so but he never listen to me.

  Another thing is I have no idea how to work Snow college's website and how to check what books I need for my classes so that is annoying. I am like praying that I don't need a ton because that is a lot of money but also I don't want more back problems then I already have. I was so blessed in high school to not have to carry a bunch of textbooks so I got to have super cute backpacks, but this year I get the feeling I am just going to have to get one that is functional not super cute. Getting old and being an adult is not fun.
