You know those weeks where nothing significantly wrong happens but a bunch of "mini trials" just kind of overwhelm you all the sudden? Ya that's happened a few times this past week. I just feel overwhelmed, under-qualified, and discouraged. But my point in telling you this, is that it gets better! Every single time I have one of those rough days or hours, it gets so much better! The blessings for big trials and answers to significant prayers will not be as immediate, but tender mercies have continually been given to me after hard days. It is proof to me that Heavenly Father is aware of me and that He is eager to bless, comfort, and teach me. I am so grateful for a Father in Heaven that loves me enough to give me hard times and the power to help me through. I am grateful for a Savior that gives me comfort and confidence to keep going, to have hope, and faith in good things to come. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ that helps me have joy in the journey, that helps me keep at eternal perspective. I am grateful that I can have "weak things become strong" and that my trials "shall be consecrated for [my] gain."
Knowing that everything will be okay in the end, and that trials are for my good help me get through them with determination, courage, and even joy!

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...
