School, friends, work and life

So I figured it's been almost 2 months and it's time for me to create another post. I was sign spinning the other day when I just thought that I should post another update. I don't really know what of but I guess we'll figure it out. So much has happened in two months.



So let's start with friends. Evelyn Hunter is one I want to focus on. A 15 year old beautiful sophomore girl that I've known for almost like 5 years. Amazing and awesome. I love her so much. Through our ups and downs I have had the opportunity to become close friends with her. Don't worry everyone, just friends. Its weird because I am never able to tell what I'm actually thinking through text. Even sometimes face to face I can't tell her but she still listens when we have the chance. If you ever see this, hopefully you will, I have so much I've been wanting to tell you when we hang out, so we need to hang out soon. Anyway, she is so funny though and the greatest part is when we roll our eyes together during our ASL class because the things that go on in there are just, yeah weird and annoying. Its always nice to know that if you ever have someone you need to go to, they will always be there. And she knows that if she ever needs someone then she can come to me. For everyone out there, find that friend and cherish and appreciate them and love them.



Another friend I'll mention is Lauren Gunderson. She is best friends with Ev and I. I go to her to vent all my feelings to her and just express things. She listens and gives me great advice back. I went to Six Flags with her and we had the greatest time ever. I loved being able to have fun with an amazing friend. She is an amazing person with a bright attitude. I love both of those girls and would do anything for them and would be there by their side in a second if anything happened to them.



Now on to work, I don't want to spend too much time talking about work because I want to post this already. Being a sign spinner is a hard job but it's actually kinda growing on me. It's taught me to endure through the heat and cold and be yourself. Seriously, standing on a street corner for 3 hours with thousands of people driving by isn't easy. Being afraid of being judged is hard when there's the opportunity of being judged by so many. But work has been a great experience for me.



School and life I guess I'll put into one. I don't even know what to put this time. Other than my grades are great but I feel more distanced from everyone than ever before. I've done so much to make people distance themselves from me, that it's kinda lonely now. May be that's why I feel distanced from Evelyn and Lauren. But I know that all starts with me. I have to be the one who changes to feel closer with everyone. I don't want to keep distancing myself and it sucks doing that so I know I will have to make a change.



Anyway, there's the update for now. I hope to be serving a mission in less than two years. Who knows where I'll be?  Hopefully I'm closer with everyone with amazing friends in college. All I know is that I love my family and the friends I have. Most importantly, I love the people who read my blog. Means a lot. I'll see you guys later.
