On the walk home

One of my very favorite times of the week is when I walk home from Institute on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Institute is always amazingly spiritual, uplifting and inspiring. I receive so much revelation walking home because I am in tune with the spirit and feel sincerely desirous to be better. Today as I was walking home, I just felt peace. I looked at the mountains and was literally in awe. They were beyond gorgeous, almost beyond words or description. I felt God's love and power and reality. Orem is surrounded by mountains and they all looked different, unique in their colors and texture, but equally magnificent. I felt so grateful to be going to school here, and to be able to see the mountains. Describing those mountains to a blind person would be nearly impossible. I think that's how God feels about our divine destiny and potential. We cannot even imagine or comprehend something so grand.
Another revelation from today: Heavenly Father created us to be dependent on one another. We are ALL dependent on Christ and his Atonement. We are dependent on Him for our eternal salvation. Adam needed Eve; they were dependent on each other. We are dependent on our parents to nurture, teach and provide for us. We are dependent on spouses to fulfill saving ordinances and become more selfless and Christ-like. We are dependent on the Prophet to counsel and guide and warn. We are dependent on friends to listen and support.
Heavenly Father wants us to be humble and He wants us to ALL return to Him. The most sacred unit is the family. He wants us help one another. To clothe, feed, comfort, empathize, serve and love one another. It is the surest way to become like God and to fulfill the perfect potential He sees for us.

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...
