Love

"Don't be afraid to fall in love. 

It's the only thing that matters in life. 

You just fall in love with as many things as possible."

At Last...

Yes At last. I am finally home! And I'm so happy I could DIE! For sooooo many reasons. So basically my semester was quite the rOLLeRcOAsTer. It started off alright, but I just was really wanting to come home, begin again, and all I really wanted was to start accomplishing everything that I wanted to with my new life. Obviously, you can't fast forward time and although at moments it may seem like that's the best option... I'm am certainly grateful for everything in between. Needless to say once I changed my attitude, I started enjoying the rest of the semester with my AMAZING roommates. They are seriously the best. 

So let me introduce them

Lindsay, (me), Carlene, Sarah, Ashley, Katie

And this is my bestie roomie ASHLEY!

I seriously owe so much to them. We have done so many crazy fun things this semester and I'm so blessed to have them in my life. And although I was really happy to come home, I was extremely sad to leave them there. It's incredibly bittersweet. But it gives me an excellent reason to come visit! I love them. Hashtag family.

HAVE FUN WITH THAT KIDS

So Over the past, say week I have really come to appreciate modern technology and being able to keep in contact with people I really care about. It just hurts my heart a little bit knowing that I'll probably never see most of the really good friends I've met up at college and well, it's really a bummer because I just want to bring everyone home with me! But that's obviously not very realistic to think that way.

I'm also going to take a little moment to talk about Him. There is nothing more to describe us better than the word crazy.

"What are we doing? This is crazy, we are crazy!"

{{But.I.Love.Crazy.}}

Never in a million years did I expect me to be "that girl" that became completely attached to a guy in a week. Seriously Alyssa, what are you thinking! But I guess all I can say is the ever cliché I can't help it.   Him. He is very charming. He is quite attractive like he has a gorgeous smile and teeth. He is incredibly funny (no, hilarious even). He says the sweetest things. And most importantly, He makes me feel happy. And that right there is the golden ticket everyone. happy. The only problem I am having with this is that He. lives about 778 miles away equalling a long twelve hour drive. So it makes whatever we have become, kind of hopeless. I ask myself, why such the inconvenient timing?! But it still wouldn't change the fact that I am staying for school in Arizona. It's quite the tragedy at the moment... However... who knows, this may be a little pre-mature to say, but it could end up to be a really great love story. laughsandgiggles. a girl sure can dream right. So for the time being all I can really do is just let whatever is supposed to happen run its course, enjoy the moments, and learn from the experiences I encounter along the way. 

{man I am just full of cliché sayings right now}

So here's to that special boy. You're  a m a z i n g  and at this rate I'm probably going to run out of adjectives to describe you soon. Stay charming. 

xoxx the hopelessly falling in love

As of Late...

So basically I didn't realize how busy I could get being at college. Go figure right? Anyway, Soooooo much has happened in the past like a lot of months so sorry about that. First off Spring Semester was a BLAST and it was so much better than being in the dorms like 10000x better. It felt like FREEdom. Fall Semester 2012 just started and now I'm at my new apartment complex called The Willows. (I was at The Ivy last semester) Here is just a little look into last semester. NOT INCLUDED: our apartment fire . Thats a long story. I may or may not post about that later. 

So far I'm loving this semester, as it will most likely be my last here in Rexburg. But I'm prepared to make the most of it! 

"Alright guys, catch up with you laterrrrrr" 

oh hello!

So, as you might have already noticed my blogging has slacked for the past couple months. But college is busy! There was so much going on! To catch everyone up here are a few videos on my Winter 2012 semester. 

 Picture Slideshow:)

And The Hip Hop Crew that I was in performed at the Battle of the Dances show and The Best Of show for the semester! Here's the routine we choreographed. 

I wish I could give more details on the funny memories and moments I had with all of my roommates and new friends, but there are wayyyyy to many for one post. Spring 2012 semester is great so far and I'm looking forward to so much to come<3 Loving Life. Xoxo Alyssa

hey, don't forget about me!

I'm still apart of the family to ya know. Just because you're destroying my existence in MY room doesn't mean that I'm not still here. Geezzzz. Anyway, our family pictures finally are done. And you know how my family is we do everything late. no Christmas card or anything just pictures a week after and call it good right? yeah typical. Check them out HERE.

So as far college has been so fun! We're making tons of friends and going to parties and we even met a few people with trucks and cars to get around this dumb town!. We will never walk a mile and a half in freezing cold to get to costa ever again! And I even experienced my first snow! It was super exciting, me being a Mesa girl and all. Mucho tarea tonight. and FHE. more updates soon:)

XOXO BIG BIRD

surviving

So I made it! one week down. & many more to go. soooo A little notes about my new roommates! I LOVE them. seriously I got lucky with having girls that I can really get along with. Lauren is on the left she's a really funny girl with an amazing personality. We get along veryyy easily. Catherine is next to her and she is THE friendliest person I've ever met. She took me on the second day of school to show me where to get my books & things, and she knows like everyone. little miss popular here on BYUI campus which doesn't surprise me one bit. I really love these girls! We have so much fun.

This is my roommate Ruth. She's really nice but we kinda have a hard time getting along with certain issues. Like the fact that she goes to bed at nine and wakes up at six thirty. So it makes rooming with her a little complicated but we're alright most of the time. As you can tell, we are completely different.

(not saying that's a bad thing, don't judge)

More adventures to come! keepin' it real.

<3 Lyss

home sweet home?

Finally have most of my stuff set up! Still tons to do before I'm all settled. & a sneak peek of family pictures. Miss my sisters already <3

things changing

2012 whaddddupppp! New Years was awesome, there was so much to do, I went to dinner with Max, Katie, and Jamie. yumyumdelish fireworks, and there was also like this hanger party in chandler, and I still had to pack like everything to take with me. I normally don't do anything crazy for this night like most people might think, but my last night in Mesa was definitely unforgettable. Especially the getting home at 330 part where my flight left at 7am which meant waking up at 5am. yayyyy fun times. But needless to say, I made it!!!

I am Finally here in Rexburg, Idaho. It's sooo crazy and way too different for words. Most of my stuff is set up and organized we just need to get a few last minute supplies from wally world (which is practically the only place to shop here depressing) I will put up some picpicsss when it's looking real good. My roommates are pretty cool considering this being BYU-idaho. Anyway, lemme say that it's like freakin' freezing here and next week is supposed to be even colder. I don't know how I'm gonna handle that. PLUS I being the clumsy little girl I am, I slip on every stupid patch of ice. Not even kidding. More adventures and stories later.
