not to mention I've been a terrible blogger this semester. sooooorry.

but here's a very brief synopsis of all the things I'm grateful for this semester.

• my house. complete with two fridges, a pull-up bar in the hallway, really hot floors (like, they practically burn your feet), darling roommates and pre-strung Christmas lights.
• best friends who will go with you to see breaking dawn part 1 at midnight and then be disgusted with you afterwards.
• a strange newfound love of being domestic. I've seriously baked SO much this semester.
• sisters I can quote "She's the Man," strange talking cat YouTube videos and "Kid History" with aaaaaall day long.
• my job at the Daily Universe. and Wednesday mornings when we get to test our Front Row Fanatics games.
• this show. new found love. watch it. right now.
• freshman boys that came back from their missions and aren't freshman anymore.
• quaker cheddar snack mix. if you don't know what I'm talking about, look at B6 in any BYU snack vending machine. they've changed my life and I've eaten more of them this semester than probly any other snack food.
• my pilates class. sooooooooo much fun and I love feeling good.
• lots of friends from many places. as manifest at my Christmas party last weekend, I'm really really grateful for all of them.
• parachute and coldplay. I listen to their new albums on repeat basically every day.
• pinterest. nuff said. I'm addicted.
• not having Friday class. :)
• no snow yet!!!
• roommates & best friends I can laugh and cry with, I can jump on their beds (or on them, if need be), I can reminisce with, I can get a phone call from because one of them got engaged and they don't want to tell the story till I get there, I can freak out to and know me better than anyone else, I can go bridesmaid dress shopping online with and have super high hopes only to come back to square one, I can be SO excited for bachelorette parties with in Vegas... mostly just wonderful girlfriends that I hope to be friends with forever.

and I'm grateful for a million other things too. but I do have a test to take at some point today and I probly should study at some point today.

ughhhhh.

life is grand, though. seriously. <3
