I feel so small town...

Being in Cedar for what a month now, it still feels so weird. If I want Cafe Rio, I can go get it because its down the street. I have three grocery stores to choose from. I have about 50 gas stations to choose from. I have to go through two sometimes three stop lights just to get to one class. If I walk to school its going to take me as long as if I would walk to campus at snow and back and still would be walking a little bit. It is so weird. I am from a big city well more like suburb, and yet when it comes to going to school, I am used to little tiny Ephraim. It has definitely been a different but good change. I like the fact that there is more to choose on where I want to go. Like for example, instead of going to McDonalds for a dollar menu item during the day, I can go to this place called G.I. Jo's where I can get a whole meal for a dollar. I am not lying. Its a culinary school, so they learn to cook and we get decent food out of it. Seriously, how cool is that?! Its such a fun place to be, go with a whole group of friends and make more while you are there. Go try it out for yourselves, you will not be disappointed!
    Okay now I guess you want to know what I have been up to? Well nothing real exciting has happened since the last post. Our first home football game was a blast and we won! It was really cool because in that same weekend, Taylorsville High won their homecoming game, and Snow College won their game. So every school I have attended won their games that weekend. Pretty cool I must say. Oh and the Chargers won too. I got sick this past week and you know what it sucked. I mean getting sick sucks period, but when you are away at school it sucks more because your mom is not there for you. Yeah that's right I was missing my mom. Moms are always there when you are sick but when they live three and a half hours away. But all better now! Well that's about it. Anything new happens you will all know sometime soon. :)

First week as a T-Bird

School school school. That wonderful time of the year when everyone between the ages of 6 to 25 get back to the books. Most people complain that its the end of summer but for me I was actually excited. Honestly it was more that I was excited to a change! A new city, new campus, new roommates, and so much more! Funny thing was that I was scared about one thing...Riding my bike to school. Now now do not judge me, it is a serious fear when the last time you really road a bike was when I lived in California. But I love my bike! It is so much fun and its a peaceful workout while heading to class.
So you want to know the fun times of my Cedar adventures. Well here in this picture is A. our first roommate picture! Yay from left to right, Simone, Kelsey, Yours truly, Ashley, and Lauren! B. This is us at Casino night! Here we all got fake money and got to play 21, poker, texas holdem, etc. I stuck with 21 and did pretty good at it. Would I ever do it for real money...Probably not for the fact that I probably would not be as lucky. But funny thing was that we were going to Casino night and didn't want to walk around the building so we climbed the rocks in HIGH HEELS and DRESSES! Yeah we are pretty legit! That was a fun night!
Next wonderful experience! Our first tailgate!! Ahh so since our first football game was away at Utah State we had a tailgate and watched the game on two 50 inch TVs. It was a ton of fun! Then our two friends LaBrandon and James wanted to get pizza before watching the Hunger Games which was playing after the football game. So we went to the sketchy Dominos and then to Maverick for drinks and oh man it was definitely something you had to be there in order to laugh at the experinece. But that is how a lot of college experiences are like I feel.
Ahh to end the wonderful first week experience. So friday went to a legit Mentalist! He blew our minds away! Then did the classic, roasting starburst over candles and just being fun crazy girls. Then Saturday PAINT STOMP! Oh my freak! It was crazy and so much fun! Jumping around and getting paint sprayed over the crowd! It was nuts! Pretty legit DJ if I do say so myself. Oh man the music was crazy and the crowd was crazy. Dang if the year is anything like this first week I think I am going to be set. :) Stay tuned to see what my next adventure will be!
