Learning.

hi fellow blog readers. if i even have any left out there, that is. i realize i have been slightly mia, but that is due to the fact that it's summer time and i needed to be out there yoloing it up. but great news for you blog readers, (not so much for me), summer is coming to its end and you know what that means. duh duh duh. college. i think that is the scariest word known to the human language. so it's time to grow up... maybe.

as i have slightly, not really, just a little bit, grown up this summer, i have learned a multitude of things.

1.) just because you were someone or some way before, doesn't mean you have to be the same for the rest of your life. now i'm all about staying true to yourself, but college is a place for fresh starts. you don't have to change who you are on the inside, but you could do a little revamping to the outside. those of you who know me, are gonna find this totally shocking, but i am now a fashionista. so change something that could make you into a better person or better looking person, such as talking to God more, or exercising daily. that last one is not for me.

2.) some friends drift away, and some friends stay. you always think you're gonna have the same friends your whole life, but it's up to you to keep them there. if you want a friend to stay in your life, you need to make an effort to keep those friends a part of your little world. always remember, you're probably gonna make new friends in college. so make sure you at least keep some of your old friends or get some new ones so you'll have bridesmaids for your wedding.

3.) i learned to knit. not exactly inspirational like the last two points, but that was just too much seriousness. i kinda feel like i have grown up as much as i possibly could with this knitting experience because knitting is for grandmas. i am now a grandma, and therefore, very grown up. but i actually just wanted to learn to feed my new obsession for scarves. i'm gonna make that wondrous cowl knit sweater that your eyes are feasting on to the right, except mine will be a lovely chocolate brown.


so as you grow, make sure you are learning. whether it be about yourself, or an intense new hobby, such as knitting. 

shout out to Jen Henker for instructing me to become a beast knitter, and shout out to all the other grandmas out there who are already beast knitters.

go yolo up the rest of the summer.

Get Your Priorities Straight

what up bloggers? summer is what's up. it's like summer is the AC in your car, and it's on full blast baby. gotcha with a summer pun there. when i think of summer, i think lazy, go with the flow, sleep in, party all day, party all night, say you wanna party? let's party alright. and that's exactly what i have been doing.  i sleep in until noon every day, and then stuff my face with toast and other goodies that make me gain massive amounts of weight. stop, hold it. i guess there is one problem with summer. weight gainage.

see, in high school i was very active in many intense sports and the even more intense, advanced physical education. shout out to Jarrod Holmgren who just loves pe. anyway, this activeness kept me in good enough shape to eat whatever i please. plus, the barf inducing school lunches kept me on a pretty strict diet of chicken during the day. but now, as i have grown up and moved away from these privilages, and continue to stuff my face, i have come to the realization that i am gaining weight as fast as a cat jumps out of a lake of dogs. because one, cats don't like dogs, and two, they don't like lakes.

this weight gainage is coming upon me because of two reasons,
1) my love of food is greater than my fear of becoming obese
2) my laziness syndrome trumphs my fear of becoming obese
therefore, my love of food and my laziness syndrome will continue to make my fattness grow, and frankly, i'm a little scared, but not scared enough.

i guess we will see what happens. see if i get any motivation this summer. i better start now because bethel's cafeteria is the bomb diggity. they have a saying up there, "instead of gaining the freshman 15, bethel students gain the freshman 45." uh oh.

so i guess the point of this blog is to get your priorities straight. today, food is number one on my list, and laziness is second. but who knows what tomorrow will hold..?

yolo.

What Was I Thinking?

hey hey bloggers. it finally feels like summer. hot, hot weather, sleeping in, and a street dance. now all i need is for my beloved pool to open so i can get back to sunbathing and saving lives. i gotta soak up this sun before i go off to the grown up world of college.

i'm attending bethel university, holla royals, and i just picked my housing and roommates. roommates, as in plural. like two roommates. like three girls in one tiny, squish squashy dorm room. this wasn't the original plan. i dont know what i was thinking. 

at Bethel, there's this cool thing called freshman hill, and me, being terrified of making friends in college, was desperate to get on that hill. obviously so i would have the best chance of making friends and being in the action. so i wait, wait, wait for my turn to choose my dorm house. i log in and just about have a heart attack. rooms available: Getsch, (on freshman hill) Nelson (five billion miles away from freshman hill). here's the kicker, the only available rooms left in Getsch were triple rooms. being one of the most indecisive people you'll ever meet, and having a mere fifteen minutes to make my choice, i. was. freaking.

as you know, i chose the triple room. how i came to this decision, i don't really know. it pretty much came down to, where am i going to be happiest? and that's where God put me, so that's where i'm supposed to be. besides, it sounded like the most exhilarting one. karoke nights? i'm in! and hey, one more roommate means one more friend.

when making difficult decisions, always remember yolo.
so yolo it up, people.

Growing Up... Maybe.

hello fellow blog goers.  my name is paige, but people call me pp- it's my gangsta name, and i am now a blogger as well. lately i have become more technologically advanced, with the use of my ipad and my new awesomely awesome smart phone. (thanks for the grad gift father) i may be obsessed, but im still not used to the difficulties that come along with technology. but hey, ive got to grow up and learn sometime.  i may have to grow up, but i will always be a kid at heart and ill probably hold onto my childish ways forever. so im thinking this blog could be a wonderful way to both, become a tech wiz, and keep in touch with my kid at heart ways as my terrible ten amigas and i get blogs to keep in touch and we move on to college and grow up... maybe. 

so ill be here blogging away about the good times ill be having this summer and the scary worries going through my mind as i go away to college and grow up... maybe.  i promise to be humorous because too much serious is just too serious and serious is not my thing.  so ill end in a joke. 

wanna hear a joke about cats?
JUST KITTEN!

until next time,
pp out.

ps, its national hug your cat day! could it be a better day? i think not. so heres a very adorable picture of my one and only cat, only because father wont let me get anymore, spitz.

pss, hes very overweight, but that makes for great cuddling, right?

you've cat to be kitten me right meow!
