but.... Loving Logan too

so i talked about everything i miss about Orem yesterday and decided that i should talk about what i love here as to feel happy again. so here goes

my roommates:
Betsy- she listens to my worries and stresses. her sarcasm that can make anyone laugh. she's a peacemaker and she made me a burrito this one time too!
Melissa- her mad cooking skills (if i gain the freshmen fifteen it's all her fault!) how she looks cute and doesn't even have to try! her DVD collection that makes me watch movies when i should be doing other things, and her stories, and demonstration with anna that one night. ;)
Ashley- her super loving personality! her cute giggle, how she's going to get married this year and how we have to find a guy for her first.... the good friend that she is.
Anna- knowing that when the doorbell rings, it's a guy for her. how she spits liquid out of her math every time she laughs and drinks, her snort, her "weird moods", and her kissing tips and stories.

The Merril-Cazier Library- the quiet corners with TONS of natural light to study in. and the attractive boy who i don't know that is sitting across from me. :D

Scotsman Dogs-a piece of heaven wrapped up in a bun!
Blue Mint icecream!

the trees lining the streets everywhere in logan

logan canyon!- where you can see the milky way

Angie's kitchen sink- tons of icecream!

the Quad- the grassy fields

the mountains- they remind me of home.

Lauren Hillman- I love having a couple of my best high school friends up here. she always texts me when i am having a hard time and doesn't even know it. what a life saver she is!

Carrie Baker- the cutest personality! Dang smart. I love having hanging out with her!

the tsc international lounge- there is always something going on there.

INSTITUTE!- i love it! it's almost as good as the temple. it's weird having married people in my class but other than that it is fantastic! i love going.

my drawing teacher- she is so flighty it's hilarious.

my 2D design teacher- he brings us doughnuts on critique day! (which was today)
the picture i drew in this class!!

Being able to call home and talk.

that there are RM's all over the place that are worthy priesthood holders and will give you a blessing at the drop of a hat.

that one time when we didn't fall through the ceiling..... and then needed a hammer cause a shoe wouldn't work...... but it's fine. It was really just a flying raccoon....

our quote wall!!! and the hilarious quotes that are on it.

the aggie shuttles- how i can take them instead of walking up the hill to class.

there's a lot to miss from home, but there's a lot of stuff to love. :D

Homesick-The state of missing my Orem

Leaving home, i never thought would be as hard as it is. I was excited to live on my own and make new friends, live in a new city, go to college, and have (what everyone is telling me is) the time of my life. Don't get me wrong, i really do like it here, i just am missing everything Orem.

Dad- the ability to talk to him, the best shoulder to cry on, his peanut M&M's, his laugh that makes him bounce, his inability to say the word aluminum. I love you dad

Mom- her advice that i wouldn't always listen to, her yummy food, her care, her stories, her funny sneezes (hesh) i love you mom

Ash- her boy advice, our laughs, our movie quotes, our adventures, our photoshoots, teasing her about getting married, what she always says when i tease her about it. I love you ashleigh

Q- his youtube videos, his strange voices, how he says goodbye, his jokes, his ability to make me laugh even when i am mad at him, his sporting events, his annoying friends. I love you Quinton

E- her wanting advice, her love of romance novels, her asking me to take her places, our bachelorette watching parties, her willingness to take all my junk (:P) I love you Emilie

Kandi- her kisses, her protection, holding her, how easy it is to tick her off, all the nick names we have given her. love you chubbs!

Brayden- the face he makes that makes me laugh, our talks, our random list of activities and the inability to do most of them, his computer skills, his family too. love you Brayden

Sara- her random outbursts of songs from chess, her English editing skills, calling her Papa Anne, her fashion tips, and her sarcastic personallity. I love you Papa Anne

Orem High- the stained ceiling tiles, my ghetto locker, Miss Tuttle, Mr. Downs, Yearbook class, learning days, peter the pickle, the beloved lunch room table, sluffing class to go to the zoo or the movies or to lunch or wherever, being able to miss class and still survive, the old building that i'll never see again, all my friends and most of my acquaintances there. I love you Orem High

home cooked meals- not having things from a box, not cooking it myself, coming home to the smell of a great dinner, the ability to make something at want.

my own room- my orange wall and closet, the pictures from my wall, my bed, being able to leave stuff out, privacy. I love you room!

having a vehicle to use- being able to drive and not have to take the bus, being able to go places further than campus, visiting places. I love you van!

having a job- I complained about my job. It really wasn't that enjoyable most of the time. But now i can't find a job and the money that isn't coming in anymore is so scary! I understand the reason why college kids eat top ramen all the time!
