I got to thinking
8:31 PMSo I was talking to a formerly-close *cough*ex-boyfriend*cough today, and I was trying to tell him all the really neato* things I did while I was at school. And they started to sound lame. Cooking, playing Ultimate Frisbee, booooooring college things. But then when I finally started thinking of some good ones, I figured I should blog about it. In case I forget my Freshman year when I, uh, for lack of a better phrase, start over this Fall. Secretly, I practically AM starting over, but I don't like to think of it like that. But here's my list. :)
1) DanceSport. One of the biggest adrenaline rushes I think I've ever had ever. Just that whole dance-class experience in general was amazing. Especially when that one girl decided that Chris and I were the "scandal" of the class, because we were dating. HA! Thank you Chris. I've always wanted to be a scandal. Hahaha.
2) Ultimate Frisbee. I know it was on my boring list too, but really, it was AMAZING. And I actually learned how to catch and throw a frisbee better than a toddler. Thank you Josh.
3) Kenna's sister-in-law's "how to get through college in 3 years" training program with the free pizza. Most fun, randomly planned activity. Me, Chantelle, MatthewBean, and Kenna=Amazing time and funny experiences being on camera.
4) Cross-country skiing for the BYUSA Comms retreat. Okay so I failed at it, but I had fun failing and I got to know some amazing people.
5) Free VocalPoint concert. Chantelle, Kenna and I found our future husbands there. :)
6) Studying for Music 202 final. Okay, studying is not so fun, but studying the music and artwork of that class with Graham was SOOOO much fun. And it took forever.
7) FOL. Totally lame to actually claim that you went to Foundations of Leadership as an incoming Freshman, but seriously guys, DO IT if you can. It was awesome and I learned the major importance of leaders on a college campus.
8) Playing Rook for the very first time ever. Me, Warrenzo, Graham, and I think Kahi? I forget who, but I was definitely there for several hours playing. And I was really really good by the end. (Not really, but I pretend)
9) Studying for Fall semester finals, eating Wheatables and veggie cream cheese. It was never as good as that night.
10) Playing racquetball & learning to play racquetball. OH MY GOOOOOSH craziest sport ever invented but really AWESOME sport. I hit myself in the gut. Not fun. But Andrew and MatthewBean and Josh Wallace and Josh were fun.
11) Country Western dancing with Warrenzo. Super awkward to look back on now, like, it was sort of a date with Warren??!? What the heck!??! And hanging out with giggly Kevin+Kenna was sure entertaining. Plus Warrenzo broke my knee. :) Not really but I think it chipped the bone. I can't kneel anymore without it hurting. And I think it's hilarious. Poor guy.
12) Cosmic Bowling/Uno Bowling. I've blogged about that one enough. :)
13) Trying to go see Dark Knight with JoshWallace and Josh and Aaron and MatthewBean. But instead, reading the back covers of super gooey romantic novels and JoshWallace reading them in a totally serious voice while the rest of us were dying on the floor of the Dollar Mart.
14) Preference. Asking to Preference was AMAZING. But I did feel bad afterwards. And making dinner was super hectic for me, but it really didn't need to be. And looking back on it, even at the end of the semester, we had the strangest group of guys, but then by the end of the year, they each had their own story and place in our lives. Thank you Josh &; MatthewBean & Dustin & Taylor & Justin & Chris.
15) Watching The Grudge. And Taylor hiring his little asian friend to be the grudge and crawl in wearing a pillowcase made me want to die a little bit. And I had terrible nightmares for a while. But now its a really great story to tell
16) Nerd Night 2009. Actually, just going to the Creamery with Kelly and finding SmartWater and Scrabble-shaped Cheez-Its. By far the best discovery ever.
17) Going with Ross to his grandparents house and talking to/listening to the old people. Hilarious. But I've blogged about that one already.
18) The Quote Wall. Just look in that box on the right at the top and you'll see why.
19) Going to that Chilaen restaurant with Aaron and MatthewBean and JoshWallace and Josh and Zac and Andrew (?). They all told their first kiss story. Aaron and MatthewBeans's were fake. And I believed the fake stories. Then they twisted my words to make it sound like I made out with an old man & his dentures.
20) Facebook stalking *****. Not to be confused with %&*@ from the Creepist Saga. No, ***** just had ridiculous Facebook status updates every like 4 minutes or so, telling the world exactly what he was doing every second of every minute of every hour of every day. It was exhausting. But the emo ones were definitely the funniest.
And I was just going to make this a top twenty buuuut...
21)%&*@. Well, he definitely wasn't my favorite (although I might have been his.... *shudder*), but the whole story told in the Creepist Trilogy. That whole, um, experience. And laughing about it afterwards. Most memorable experience of Freshman year BY FAR. So it had to be on the list.
Song of the Day: Fireflies by Owl City. Oh my heck best free music Tuesday iTunes download EVAAAAAAAAAA!! If you missed out, you really missed out.
*Word of the day: Neato. I just like the way it sounds. :)
Peace out, home skillets.
