College Applications?

YES! I can finally apply to the BYU's! So exciting! They said that I could apply starting October 1, but they changed it and I had to wait until today to actually start applying for the correct semster, and yay! I feel almost accomplished! Now to write two essays, talk to my bishop and stake president, and then do the applications for scholarships! I'm so excited to be able to go to college and do fun stuff and learn and be a college student! Then I shall feel super official!
So thats my exciting news for today and this week! Except I have to wait until February to figure out if I was accepted so I hope I am and that I don't explode from waiting! :) But I also have to still focus on all my other classes, ACT and SAT, as well as AP classes, the play I am in (Museum), choir, trouveres, and other activities, so still staying quite busy!
But my other news involves the play! I am already Maggie Snow and Kate Siv, but today I got the extra part of Mira Zadal! I'm pretty excited! Maggie Snow rushes in and is only there for a couple of lines but its gonna be fun. Today we worked on perfecting our characters and she asked if I remembered Curella DeVille. And I said, "Yes, I was afraid of her when I was younger..." "Good, I want you to act like her. Be rude." To which I was like okayyy, if you say so! So I was rude and I get to say "Typical, Typical!" So that was easier to sound rude, and it was fun! Who knew 3 lines could be so much fun! My next part is Mira and she's flirty, so I've decided I need to talk to Danielle, bwhaha. :) I love her! Kate Siv is jealous and extremely senstive and she runs out crying, so I go all over the place with my characters! But it should be fun and is fun!
Well, I think thats it for now! I guess I should should study for my math test and review some of my other classes. Off to be productive! (or attempt!) Good Night to all and I hope your Monday has been good and the rest of your week is awesome! :)

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
