I don't have a famous blog. I don't have hundreds of followers. I'm not even sure I have 5 followers. I think this is more of just a void for me to dump my feelings into. So if you happen to read this, thank you :) But at the same time, I apologize for the ridiculous amounts of stuff you probably don't care about that you will read. These are just a few things that I've been thinking about a lot lately and need to get in print.
1. I care about my friends an enormous amount. Whether I just met you or have known you for years, I care about you. For example, I have known the people in the cast of All Shook Up for approximately a month, and there are people there that I would take a bullet for.
2. I love exercising. I know that is normal for a lot of people, but I was always that kid in junior high and high school that did everything in my power to not participate in gym class. Since I got a membership to the gym, though, I have decided that I love to exercise. One of my favorite feelings is being sore the day after a great workout.
3. I love being busy. Granted, it has recently been very detrimental to my health. But last semester, I worked a 9-5 job, took online classes, participated in a show with a relatively short run in which I had my first ever solo song, and spent every night I could at the library until midnight to make sure I kept my grades up. It was grueling, exhausting, and at times it was insanely frustrating. But now, I miss it. Don't get me wrong, I am loving taking this summer off and spending the days at the gym and watching movies with my mom and getting pedicures with my niece. That being said, I can't wait for school to start. To be on campus with a bunch of other students, be able to study in a library, make friends in classes, and actually have something to study when I get home.
4. I 100% support gay marriage. I am an active member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I have no doubts in my mind that my gay friends have every right as me to get married. I believe that the Lord wants them to be happy and loves them just as much as He loves the President of our church.
5. I miss my sister in a way that could never be measured. No tool or equation could possibly get close to it. I'm so incredibly grateful for the knowledge that I have that I will see her again. I know it won't be for years and years, but I feel her with me daily.
6. My parents are the most incredible people I know. They have been through so much together and their marriage is so strong. But on top tof that, they are the most supportive parents I have ever heard of. They have never missed a SINGLE performance I have been in. In 10 productions, approximately 12 shows each, and tickets ranging anywhere from $8 to $18 per person, they have spent almost $2000 on tickets to shows I'm in. And the show I'm in currently is the first lead I've ever had. I've been dancing in the background for the majority of these shows, but they've been there every night. If you can think of something more incredible than that, you should probably call the Guiness Book of World Records.
7. My guilty pleasure is terrible television. I love shows like Pretty Little Liars, The Sweet Life of The American Teenager, The Vampie Diaries, and One Tree Hill. And I LOVE made for TV movies. The old school Disney Channel Original Movies were the best.
8. I have recently put together my bucket list and I have every intention of doing everything on it. Some of them are ridiculous, but I refuse to say it's impossible for me to date Ryan Gosling.
9. I will forever have place in my heart for the guy who played Dean in Motocrossed. He was my make believe boyfriend for most of 8th grade and I don't care who knows it.
10. I hate staying up late, but at the same time I love it. I would go to bed at 9 o'clock every night if I could, but from about 11 o'clock on, I love it. I love how it feels when the world is asleep and it feels like I'm the only one awake. I accomplish more between the hours of 11 pm and 2 am than I do during the rest of the day. But I definitely know how to sleep and I'll take pretty much every opportunity to do so.
The end.
