Commuter Campus

I go to a commuter campus and I love it. It's something I didn't really understand before I was actually here, the concept of it. I actually thought I was going to hate living and going to school in the city, but I love it. Why?

There's no homecoming. I love my school don't get me wrong, but I would rather represent it with getting a novel done that I'm proud of and published, not spending time watching people I don't know battle it out. There's none of those events and I don't know enough people on campus for it to be weird I don't go.

Everyone else is busy. It's not expected for us all to hang out all the time. Almost everyone lives somewhere else and has other places to be. No feeling bad about not hanging out on campus.

There are soooo many different people. The friends I have made are from every background and culture imaginable! It's so cool learning from them and all about the state.

I get to ride the bus to school and get in a daily walk. I seriously looove my bus time. I get to read for fun or catch up on homework. Whatever it be, my bus time is sacred. I love being driven to school and getting to relax during rush hour.

I love not being in your typical college town. I feel like my experience is so different from students who are at the typical universities and it's something that relieves me. I just can not even think about going to parties and study groups and out all the time.

Ok, I'm realizing all of these things sound like I never talk with people and avoid them like the plague. It's just, I'm an introvert. In high school, I thought I was such an extrovert and spent all of my time out and talking and talking and talking and never said no to anything. And it was exhausting and just not me! And now that I know who I am and where I'm comfortable, it's great! I'm so much happier and am doing the things I want to do. And I definitely talk to people ;) It's all good. The commuter campus isn't for everyone, and I'm positive that other people love it for COMPLETELY different reasons. But these are mine.
All of us at the play Just Like Us. OH yeah, and the best part, is being downtown and able to go to events like these.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
