Sunday Funday

Today is going to be crazy busy but I thought I'd post really fast. Every year the student leaders on campus get invited to a holiday dinner our our president's house so I'm going to that, which clearly means lots of delicious food! Then I need to make a white elephant gift. Then we are doing an office tradition called a Fountain Run. We pretty much just drink and run around campus and play in all the fountains haha Then after that, my friends are having a Sunday Funday last party of the semester party. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be exhausted tonight but it'll be worth it. This week has sucked so I need to go out with a bang before studying for finals starts!.

Better Days

As I've said, I've been in a bad mood the past few days but I'm going to change that. I've mentioned before that I'm a total Gleek (Glee + geek haha) so after watching the new episode today and the amazing cover of Dog Days are Over, I'm putting the past behind me and moving on. It's not even worth fretting over something that is out of your control. I'm a true believer that everything happens for a reason so you just have to learn from it and move on. Life is too amazing to be grumpy so I'm just going to pump up the music and have my own little party (not literally, just something I say).

Tomorrow is supposed to be gorgeous and I'm spending the whole weekend with my friends. There is nothing to worry about for a few days so I'm going to have a great time and get ready for finals week. Plus Christmas is in 23 days! I won a Chipotle giftcard today from holiday trivia so I'm officially starting my holiday now!

So if you haven't already noticed, I'm very random and find the oddest things funny. My friend showed me this website today and we literally laughed out loud at work today for 45 minutes. If you need a good laugh or simply a study/work break, look at this site and prepare to laugh your ass off!

Lungs by Florence + The Machine. This is the whole album and I already mentioned one song a few posts ago but the whole album is simply amazeballs and you have to check it out! Also, it's been confirmed that DAFT PUNK IS PLAYING AT COACHELLA THIS YEAR. As you can see, my use of all caps means I'm REALLY DAMN EXCITED!

WTF?

First of all, I hate saying WTF but it's perfect for this situation. What is wrong with people these days?When someone says they like you and they aren't going to see anybody else and then proceeds to hang out with their ex (who he said he can't stand anymore) and other guys, do they not understand it's freaking confusing and rude? I could care less if they were friends but they aren't. I'm all for freedom but if you can't trust someone, is it worth keeping it going? I'm done with classes, only 2 finals, so I'm going to drink with my roommate tonight haha My bad luck has continued since Sunday so it's kinda annoying. Plus Third Eye Blind is playing at my school on Thursday but I can't go! Sorry for the downer.

Today is a movie selection: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

Bad luck

I'm pretty sure I had the worse luck in the world yesterday, not even kidding. I overslept for church (I go when I'm back home for my mom), couldn't get my homework done because I forgot a camera cord, kinda ruined my shoes in the snow, almost got in a car wreck because my sister is a horrible driver in the snow, my plane was delayed for hours and my car ride home got a flat tire on the freeway. See, horrible luck. But today was much better so all is well!

Thanksgiving was pretty nice. Lots of food, sleep and movies. I pretty much just stayed at home everyday and slept, ate, watched countless hours of football and played with my dogs and brothers. I went to the Utah/BYU football game and literally froze my ass off but Utah won so it was worth it! Now it's the last week of school before finals so I just have to make it through this week and I'll be free. I can't wait for break and school to be over. I want to relax and not worry about anything. 

I know the "It gets better" thing was a little while ago, but my school just put out their own version and I found it pretty well done. Check it out here.

Updates

Sorry it's been a few days. This week was busy busy. Not much has happened lately (besides Harry Potter of course!) but lots of school and working. It seems that all my free time is spent with friends. I haven't really just been alone all week so tonight I'm going to just relax and write a paper. Not fun but I'll just put on my music and get a good start on it. I'm writing on the myths and conventions of the horror genre in cinema, pretty interesting.

I officially feel like I'm ten years older than I am. On Friday, after cleaning a fat, slimy turkey, my friend and I went to sleep at 11:30pm, we fell asleep mid kiss haha I guess staying up til 4am watching Harry Potter on Thursday really made us tired. Then on Saturday I woke up at 6am to cook the turkey. As a work staff, we cooked 12 turkeys for over 150 kids and played games with them all afternoon. It was SO much fun! They were absolutely adorable. After that I drank a few beers and watched some football then went to some bars with a different friend. He drank a little too much (and by little I mean quite a lot haha) so I drove him home. As I walked to my apartment, my guy arrived at the same time so we drank a bit then went to my friends place, the infamous HSOOZ. After a few hours of drinking and hanging out, the two of us headed back to my place. Today was by far the roughest day of the week. I had to wake up at 6am for work and worked til 3. I stood outside all day and it was freaking cold! I got complimented on what I was wearing quite a lot though so I was content haha I felt like I was married when I left for work this morning, I was all dressed up in my shirt and tie and I leaned over and kissed my guy and said goodbye. It was very cliche and I had a good laugh as I biked to work but it was actually pretty nice.

Well I should start my research but here are a few songs for my lack of posts this week:

Dog Days are Over by Florence + the Machine
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by The Beatles
Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) by Arcade Fire
Animal (Kaskade Remix) by Neon Trees

Sex

No this post isn't about my sex life haha but just a question/observation. There is such a stigma surrounding sex that intimidated me, still does, into thinking it was just a quick moment of pleasure. What people don't understand though is it can really draw two people together and make a relationship more than "just sex." What do you guys think? Sex is such a taboo subject but it's so natural so why not talk about it?

Alright I probably should read for school but I'll have a better post tomorrow
