Love Stories: Wonderful or Nuisance

Never watch a love story when you are feeling lonely. It will only make the situation ten times worse.

What not to do while wearing a black shirt

My first piece of advice is very short. Never open a thing of napkins at work while you have a black shirt on. It gets tons of white fuzzy balls on you. Now you Know.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye

I have decided from henceforth I am going to put random things I learn and well thought out advice on my blog. Well, maybe not well thought out advice but whatever I feel needs to be said. I hope this works!!

My Love of Performing

So this week has been the best week of my life. It is the week that I always look forward to each year. It is my dance performances at BYU for the BYU Young Dancemakers. I love this with all my heart. Why is it though that I love to perform so much?
1. Performing gives me a rush that no other thing could. There are all those people out in the audience there just to watch you. They actually paid money to watch you dance. Just being on stage in a pretty costume with all lights and eyes pointed at you is one of the greatest feelings. This is kind of making me sound conceted with all the eyes on me. I don't mean it like that I just love being in front of people dancing for them and making them happy.
2. When I perform I am giving a little of myself to the audience. I am normally a shy person. But when I dance I open up and let everyone see who I truly am. The best way I express myself is through dancing.
3. I love to be able to jump, leap, skip, hop, and just move my body in anyway. It makes me happy just to move to the music and express myself. When I dance I feel as if I am showing off and using this wonderful body that i was given, and what better way to show appreciation for this then dance.
I love to dance and perform, there is no doubt about it. When I dance I truly become the happiest person in the world. Just being able to express myself and open up to the world is the most wonderful thing.

The Last Month of School

They last month of school is always the hardest to get through. Why is it that it can be so hard?
1. The last month of school is always the best month of the year, but it can be very hard to get through. One reason is that you only have four more weeks of school left and you just want to get everything done with. We just had spring break so we all know how nice it is to not be in school. Everyone is so excited and distracted by thoughts of summer that it is almost impossible to focus on school and homework.
2. Also the end of the school year means end of year tests. Every class has to have a huge test or huge project due, and for the most part it is both. This can be really hard to deal with because it is so hard to concentrate. Plus there is lots of pressure on getting good grades and passing all your classes. The end of the school year is extremely stressful and busy. There is one project after the other, and finals to study for.
The month of May is the best month in the year, but it can be very difficult to get through. Hopefully with the bright outlook of summer I will have the strength to endure to the end.

Board Games

On most Sunday evenings after dinner my family plays boardgames. We always have tons of fun, but sometimes it can get ugly. Why is it that boardgames can either be fun or a families worst nightmare?
1. Most games are all about the competition and winning so you can be number one. Some examples of these games include monopoly, risk, phase ten, well I guess any game has a winner and a loser. This race to be number one can make a game fun with the stresses and friendly competition. Or it can either turn into a name calling, and feelings can get hurt. (this doesn't happen at my house, fortunately.)
2. The biggest factor that influences the outcome of a game is the people playing it. Games are fun when everyone is happy and no one really cares if they win or lose. Then there are people who are either really sore winner who gloats over a win or sore loser accusing everyone of cheating. These type of people ruin any game you play with them.
Board games are lots of fun, but the important thing is not to get caught up in winning or losing. When I play boardgames with my family I am always the official loser and I have learned to lose in style.

The Wonders of Dishwashers

Sunday dinner at my house are always very nice until it is time to do the dishes. My families dishwashers broke along time ago and my parents have been waiting to get another one until they remodel the kitchen. So the only thing close to a dish washer at my house is me and my brother. So I am going to analyze why life is awful without a dishwasher.
1. Without a dishwasher it takes twice as long to finish the dishes. first you have to rinse all the leftover food then make a ginormous stack of dishes. Then you have to wash each fork, spoon, knife, plate, and glass separately and lets not forget all the greasy pots and pans. With a dishwasher it is just so simple to stick it all in put in the dish soap, and then push a view buttons.
2. While you are spending all this time doing the dishes a lot happens. For instance tonight my sister and I ended up doing the dishes. Both my grandparents were over for dinner and with both my grandmas there it was impossible to leave the dishes to later and just sit and talk. So we missed out of all the conversation.
Doing dinner dishes especially Sunday dishes is never fun without a dishwasher. It can turn a delightful dinner into a nightmare.
