Heaven

There is a special place in heaven for the professors that curve grades. I just received an email from a professor that curved my grade because I was so close to a higher grade and because I never had a late assignment. Now that is special. It just proves that hard work pays off in one way or another.

It Is Over

This past semester was a little rough. Five online classes was a little much. Most the time I was able to keep my head above the water and there were other days I had to spend my entire Saturday catching up. It has been an adventure getting through all the classes. I am a little saddened that this semester is over just because I finally got a routine down. Now it is all going to change. This next fall semester is going to be challenging in a new set of ways. For those wondering I will be doing three online classes and two classes on UVU campus. On the bright side, according to my graduation track, I am 70% done after fall semester. That is my main motivation right now. Knowing that I am more than half way to getting my degree. It is all downhill from here.
Here is a quote from One Tree Hill that I feel is important to remember. I have to remind myself that happiness isn't going to come once I graduate, Happiness is something I can find now.

A Disney Princess

Gosh I love Disney.
It is a genius idea really. If you truly think about it, this random guy named Walt created this empire for many generations to enjoy for years and years to come. And when Walt created this empire, he created a place for imagination to become "reality." I realize that for a large portion of movies Disney took stories that already existed and Disneyfied them. Any by doing so, Disney created stories and people that I hold dearly to my heart. Let's just name a few shall we...
Tangled- Rapunzel had a dream so she chased it. Even though it wasn't exactly what her "mother" wanted. She is innocent enough to love every piece of the world. Rapunzel taught me that you should live your dream. But only if your dream doesn't stink. 
Beauty and the Beast- Belle is a strong independent woman. She loves her father enough to take his place at the palace. And THEN she is willing to forgive the Beast for treating her like property. That just shows what kind of woman she is. Honestly, if a person ever did that to me, ha, cold shoulder for life.
The Little Mermaid- Ariel saved this man's life before she even knew who he was. Of course she thought she was in love and yes she is only sixteen, but that is slightly beyond the point. After she saves his life she is willing to give up her most prized feature just to be closer to this boy. To me, that shows how important love is. I think we forget that love is worth it. We need to keep believing in love.
Cinderella- Obviously she taught me that a dream is a wish your heart makes. Keep on dreaming even if all odds are against you. Really, this girl had three enemies (step mother and sisters) plus a cat. Poor girl. Anyways, Cinderella kept dreaming even though that stinkin' step mother tried to get in the way. 
Sleeping Beauty- Aurora taught me that sleep is the real MVP. 
Hercules- Meg taught me that being a strong independent woman is perfect but it can get lonely. Letting people into your life isn't a bad thing. As long as he is Greek God of course.

So just remember to dream big. If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough. Love like today is your last day to love. And just be yourself. The right people will appreciate all the little things you do.

Happiest Place On Earth

I had the chance to go to the Happiest Place On Earth, a.k.a. Disneyland!
Instead of making six videos to show the trip (haha to last time I went to Disneyland) I made a small flipgram. A flipgram is similar to instagram. You make a small slide show and put the pictures to music (well there was music but I can't figure it out... so). Please enjoy the highlights from the trip. 
I freaking love Disneyland. All I know is that even with the crowds it doesn't get old.
The music was: Pumpin' Blood by NONONO
