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.

Making bank or something like that
My dad has been on my case about getting a job before school starts so I can start saving money which never really happens. So yesterday I started my new job and let me just tell you, it was the most annoying thing ever.
I have had a ton of jobs since I has 15 but they all sucked expect my job last summer because my boss was cool and his son was super attractive, but it didn't pay super well. And some how after having two jobs for the past two summers you would think I would have money in my savings account, but it is a solid $0.00. I mean there would be money in there if I didn't go shopping twice a week. But hey do what makes you happy, right? Well okay back to this new job. I have to wear khaki Bermuda shorts and closed toe shoes. Plus a staff shirt that looks good on no one. I think the shorts are the worst though, like Bermuda shorts are about as attractive as a 95 year old lady wearing a crop top. So here I was wearing Bermuda shorts, a black shirt and pink gym shoes, which I never wear in public. They put me in charge of running the playground and bounce house area. Kids are the devil in disguise, especially where I live because parents just leave their kids unattended for long periods of time. So they pretty much just run around causing havoc. I lost count of how much I yelled "NO CLIMING ON THE SLIDES!" So finally around 9:30pm they let my usher until the game was over. I thought the worst part was over...
I was completely wrong. I then had to pick up trash for another two hours. They gave my gloves which was nice but then your hands get all sweaty and they get holes in them. Not to mention the drinks that run down your leg. I got Dr. pepper all down my leg and into my sock, which let me tell you is probably the grossest thing ever. After that I swept up peanuts, that meant a lot of bending down. So I woke up feeling like an old man after two hip replacements and a severe hunchback. They did give me the option of going home after the kids but I thought "what the hell, I am soon going to be a poor college student so I need the
hours. " Would I work there the rest of my life no, but it is a job and I need one. Maybe even two. So there you go that is my first job out of high school.

The road ahead
So here I am 18 years old, and going out into the world for the first time by myself. I have no clue what I am going to do yet for the rest of my life. Which people find crazy because there is some myth that you are supposed to have your entire life mapped out by the time you graduate high school, but that is bullcrap. I think we should just let teenagers be teenagers as long as possible because why grow up when you don't have!
I am so pumped to be going to college. I will be the first person in my family to go to school. But at the same time I am scared as hell to live with someone I have never meet. I am not going that far away from where I grew up but there is something about being on your own for the first time that is very nerve wrecking. The one thing that I am freaking out about is like who buys the toilet paper? I have no idea why, but my whole life my sister could never figure out how to change the TP. So I have to make sure that there is toilet paper. Which you guys may think "oh my gosh. That is what she is scared about?" I promise I am not a freak, I just like things a certain way. :)
