Saying good bye

Right before I left, we had a little Bon Voyage, Birthday going away party. My closest friends came and we just enjoyed taking, eating and basically reminiscing and saying goodbye as most of us just graduated and going on missions or college. It was such a nice night and I loved having them all together. I'm so mad and sad I didn't get a picture!!!!! But just take my word for it, they're the best, more genuine, nice group of teenagers you could find. I'm so proud of the boys for going on missions and for the girls headed to college, especially since I saw first hand the amount of work and dedication it took to get them where they are. BYU, U of U, Weber, USU and UVU are very lucky to be getting these friends of mine. Not to mention all the places worldwide that are gaining my friends as amazing missionaries. Saying good bye was so hard, but luckily the next day I was off to Europe and had quite the experience to keep my mind off it. But still, when I texted my friend Evyn about the whole ordeal, he told my other friend Nate to call and make sure I was okay and talk to me. And Emily sent me hilarious DMs to make me laugh. Also, BIG NEWS-Emily is coming to Europe with me and my parents in November, thanks to the extra miles we got because of the cancelations. I'm so excited, especially since we'll have something to look forward to being 4 hours away from each other!!
Yesterday a last goodbye was said over Skype. Thank goodness for technology! Evyn is leaving tomorrow and I can't believe it! We've been in the same ward for forever, so I feel like so much has led up to this. The Sunday school lessons, mutual nights, youth retreats, etc. And it's so exciting to think that the next time we see each other I'll be a returned missionary too! Huzzah! I'm so excited for my mish :)
we talked for over an hour on Skype them finally said goodbye. He's going to the four corners mission, so it'll be super easy to mail stuff :). It was sad to say bye because so much will be different in 3 years, but all the changes will be good, so it's okay.
good luck Elder Conrad!

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Help!

Since I'm making the important college decision in a few months, give me some advice! What was your favorite part of your college experience? Do you feel the one you attended was the best choice? Did you stick to the major you went in declaring? If you lived in a dorm, how was it? Thanks!

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...
