The End and the Beginning

Today I took my last final, possibly ever. I was kind of very excited but also sad. I love school. I love learning and meeting people with my same interests. I might go back to school for grad school, but first I need some money to afford it, and I just don't know yet if that is what I'll do.

Now my future is wide open. It's kind of terrifying, but kind of exciting. I have been looking for editorial jobs, and I am really excited to use my skills as an editor. At the moment, I'm planning to stay in Provo. I will just have to see how everything works out though. If I don't find a full-time editing job, I'd like to work as a freelance editor and also work at either a bookstore or a bakery. My roommate Lauren and I have also been talking about opening our own bakery. That would take a few years, but would be really fun. I don't know what my future holds, but I am so excited! It is going to be wonderful!

Here Comes Summer

I wrote this about a month ago, but then didn't publish it.

So, I obviously haven't written in ages. Life has been pretty wonderful and full of fun, learning, and adventures.
Last semester was hard school-wise, but very fun. The Olympics were so fun to watch! I love the Olympics and the way that they connect the world closer together! I actually wrote an article about it for my Substantive editing class last semester. Yes, I love the Olympics that much. For Christmas I got a crock pot and have since made some delectable foods using it. I love cooking and baking.
This semester I became even better friends with my friend Tasha. She is so fun! We love having adventures and we are basically like little kids at heart. We go to things for fun and realize that we are the oldest people there without children. She left for Missouri last week for her internship. I hope she loves it and has a great time there! I will miss her tons, but luckily I will get to see her in August at graduation, and I just feel like we will always be friends, even if it's not the same since we're far away from each other. Friends are great. When they leave it's hard, but they are still so worth it.

Happy New Year!!

Just a little thought

I've been thinking about how the smallest things can affect me so much. For example, a simple phone call from a friend can brighten my day, or a lack of a phone call from someone can stress me out for hours. Listening to a good song can cheer me up, and listening to certain songs reminds me of sad things. There are hundreds of similar situations that I could think of. So as I've been thinking about this, I realized that that is exactly why it is important to me to always be kind. You never know if that one rude word could ruin someone's day, or if your smile could cheer someone up, even a little.

When I grow up. . .

My friends have told me several things that they think I should do with my life, such as

• Open a flower shop
• Open a bakery
• Make greeting cards
• Become Mrs. Claus.
  

I actually love all these suggestions! I love flowers, and baking, and sending nice notes to people, and making up poems, and I guess doing Mrs. Claus type things (haha, my friends are funny). However, I am going into editing. I love my major and minor classes. I love reading, and spelling, and grammar, and words. I'm excited for what life will bring! It is good!
