Roomies

So just recently I've discovered that I am not the only one who has a blog in the apartment. There are now 4 out of us 6 girls that own a homework procrastinating excuse to post blog. (Yeah I know it sounds confusing). And on all of there's it seems, have bragged about all of us roomies on their blog. Well don't I feel selfish for not bragging about them too! All I've done is post pictures with the expectations that everyone will know who they are and how wonderfully loving they are. So here's my shpeel about my roommates. (I'm going to kind of steel the layout that my roomy Steph used when she bragged about us).

STEPHANIE WRIGHT

ImageLoving and always helping others. She's always more worried about us than she is of herself. She seriously goes through physical pain for us, such as giving piggy back rides and then throwing her back out because of it. We're always goofing off and calling sarcastic comments at each other. I always go to her if I want to have a deep gospel discussion. I learn so much from her, she is completely amazing!!! We've roomed since our first semester and I feel like we'll be rooming all of our college career! Our personalities are so much alike it's crazy. Except for one thing. GUYS!!! Our taste in men is completely different!

STACIA HOPKINS

ImageSweetest person I KNOW!!! She was with Steph and I when we first joined the college life and is still there! I remember she came to me my first day and said that if I ever needed to talk to someone or cry to them, she was there! She's had my heart ever since! She'll be graduating this Fall semester and I plan on sabotaging her grades or something just so she can't leave us!!! She's the mother hen in the apartment. Always making sure we are ok and always asking how our day has been. She's the leader of the apartment and we wouldn't have it any other way!!!

MEGHAN SORENSON

ImageI LOVE THIS GIRL!!! I've known her for only 1 year and 7 months but I feel like I've known her for eternity! I don't seem to remember life without her! We were in the same ward in Mt. Vernon, IL whenever she moved in with her awesome sister Beth! We hit if off immediately and have been best friends since. I'm so glad I converted her to come to BYU-Idaho to be my roommate! She reminds me of home in Illinois while making new memories of home here in Rexburg! I don't know what I would be doing if I didn't have her here with me.

BRIANNA MASSEY

ImageMy partner in crime. Who knows what we are going to do to the apartment when we are left in it alone. We've decorated the mirror, walls, and light switches together. I always go to her if I want to just have fun! If she hadn't come to the apartment I think I might have gone crazy cuz so far she is the only one who knows as many movies as I do. We are always quoting them and finding new things to quote each day. She's outgoing and yet shy, sweet and yet headstrong. She came with Meghan from their hometown in Missouri. I'm so glad she came! Another soul that I've felt like I've known forever and I'm sure will know for even longer!

KESHIA MILES

I freakin love this girl! We're always talking about life, boys, art, and other tihngs in the wee hours of the morning and just plain goofing off. She's another one that we are exactly alike. And even on the boy issues! We understand each other and get excited about the same things. lol we both have our crazy comfort foods of trail mix and cottage cheese! She unfortunately will only be rooming with me in the Fall because she is on the Fall/Winter track and I am Summer/Fall. I don't know if i'll be able to go a whole year before I see her wonderful face again!


So there you have the little bit that I can tell you. My wonderful, crazy, cooky, loving, adorable roommates that I love to death and then some! I know I can do no justice to who they really are but you'll just have to get to know them! I would do anything for them and pray that I'll be able to room with them for more than just one semester! We have such an amazing bond in our apartment! People have seriously asked us how we are so close! To us we are all just like family! We aren't by ourselves or living on our own because we have our own little family right here in Rexburg! It's just like a constant sleep over of everlasting fun that never ends!

Update

So I've known for the past couple of days that I haven't posted in a long time and I've finally convinced myself to ignore my homework just for the sake of posting and keeping all of you updated! ;D
Well...not much has happened. Sorry to disapoint. I've been waking up in the morning, going to school, coming home, procrastinating homework, and then finally sleeping just to do it all over the next day. lol, naw I'm just kidding. Last night I actually went to the RixStix Percussion Group concert. I went with a friend of mine that was actually apart of my I-Team for the fall semester. His name is David and is actually from St. Louis and we actually found out that he knows some of the same people as my two roommates that are from St. Louis as well (Meghan and Brianna). So we all had plenty to talk about. But we went to the performance and were bored. lol. I guess percussion just isn't my kind of thing. There were only about half of the songs that they played that we liked. The rest of them we were just waiting for them to get done! We even started taking bets on how long the songs would be. We might have left except for the fact that I had to be there because it's required for a class I'm taking. But after that we went back to my apartment and goofed off with my roommates. lol, we even went and ding dong ditched our FHE brothers. We left them a bad banana on their front porch that had a face drawn on it and made a speech bubble coming out of it's mouth saying to come to FHE (they're not very good at it). But that is all of the exciting news I have for this week. Next week I will be going to the Halloween Concert (it's supposed to be THE concert of this semester) with Ryan Richardson. He was my I-Team leader partner and he is also the same guy that served with Bryce on his mission. Which is how we got to know each other. I still have to find out if Bryce was actually the one who sent him to look me up or if he did it on his own free will. lol, who knows?

Sad News for Ashley Nelson

Ok so this is a little late but I haven't been much of a social person lately except with my mom and my sisters. But here is the news. Camerin and I broke up. =( This is what happened. Last week I noticed that Camerin wasn't being the "man" that he was supposed to be. You know, like he didn't flirt with me anymore and it seemed like he didn't care as much about seeing me. He just didn't put in any effort. The only time I really saw him was in the morning when we walked to class, when I waited for him to get out of class and later at night for maybe a half hour. I felt like I was the only one contributing. So I talked to my roommates about it and one of them was going to talk to him about it. Well last weekend was Mother's Day and his mom was up here so I literally did not see him for almost two days. He finally came over after his mom left on Saturday at around 6, and my roommate was going to talk to him. I was so scared. I wanted to run in and stop her. I was afraid of what she would say to him. Well they weren't even gone five minutes before she came back up saying that I needed to talk to him. I was scared spitless. I asked her if it was bad or good and she said bad! I immediately knew what was going to happen, resigned myself to the fact, and went out to face him. We went up to the piano room that the apartment has available for anyone and he said (I'll try and get this word for word but most of you know how my memory is), "During General Conference I got some feelings and got to thinking and I've been praying about it, and I got my answer. You probably already know what I'm going to say (I said, "I'm pretty sure I know.") and he said, " we need to break up! It's just not the right time." And that's all I can remember. I told him I understood and he said that he still wanted to be friends but he was going to leave it up to me. I told him of course I wanted to still be friends. After that he gave me a hug and left.
Lately I've been doing better but I of course went down to my apartment and cried for a while, called my mom, cried some more, called Brittany, cried some more, called Rachel, cried some more, called Terra, luckily didn't cry. I've also had my roommates to talk to and they have helped me a lot! But there have been of course those moments where I just break down out of the middle of nowhere because it's just hard. And all of that has happened since Saturday. I know it's the right thing and I know this is the Lord's plan, but man it stinks. But I know I'll be ok and I'll get over it. I just need to keep the bigger picture in mind and focus on other stuff. In fact by focusing on other stuff, I'm going to Logan this weekend! WOOHOO!!! I was going to go next weekend but I didn't want to hold it off any longer. Plus I get to see my mommy too! I can't wait. Nobody tell dad, but I'm skipping two classes so I can come down Thursday night instead of later on Friday ;D! But that's my sob story for the month. For those who are in Logan, I GET TO SEE YOU TOMORROW!!! I'm so excited. It's what has gotten me through this week. And just as a side note. The theme in our apartment of single girls at the moment is "One day my prince will come....in the millenium!" (sung to Snow White)
