It's time to just be happy.
stop focusing on all I have to do and everything I don't have.
stop worrying about what direction my life is going and just accept my decisions and live in the moment.
and just be grateful.
it's easier said than done.

You're invited...
my work is having a hunger games party.
I am stoked.
I am rereading the first book right now and it is getting me so excited for the movie.

devotional
sometimes, devotionals contain just what you need to hear.
I was thinking this week that my life has been a little off as of late because I have become so focused on school and worrying about other things that I had not been focusing on the gospel essentials. and I need to find that balance again.
lo and behold, devotional was all about just that. stop spending so much time thinking about all your concerns and worries and spend quiet time each day to be still.
If you do, everything else will fall into place.
plus, it was a general authority and he wore a Gryffindor tie, spoke in a British accent, and made a Hogwarts reference.
I am glad I went to devotional!
and I am obsessed with this song and cannot wait for the Hunger Games movie.
P.S. happy Valentine's day.
excerpt from my friend's latest missionary letter that is just too fantastic not to share:
"I think I came on my mission expecting to be the perfect missionary, subconsciously thinking how much I wanted to employ all of the advice I'd been given. I think it surprised me when I was still just... me! Just one daughter of God who really loves the Gospel. But I am amazed at how good He is to us. I've realized how completely mortal I am, and I think learning to embrace our "weakness" (like it says in Ether 12:27) is fundamental. I've realized that Heavenly Father doesn't want us to be perfect NOW. Part of the process is learning to laugh with ourselves and grow! This Gospel is not for perfect people, it is for imperfect people involved in a perfect work. I am amazed at how the Savior changes us and makes up the difference--even IN our imperfection! I am still learning so much, but I am also feeling so relieved in a way. The Gospel is SO WONDERFUL. This is the ONLY WAY! I testify that as you kneel to pray you are heard by a loving Heavenly Father. He is always there. We got to teach our district about repentance this week (I love repentance!), and tears came to my eyes as I testified that the Savior will come wherever we are to bring us to Him. How He loves us! The church is true. The Book of Mormon is the WORD OF GOD, and can shape our testimonies and build our faith."

blessings
I'm sorry that this is all I talk about on the blog, but this past year of school I have learned just how much Heavenly Father loves me because of how blessed I am.
Life is so wonderful!
on another note, here are some recent highlights of my life:
-a new job that I love
-an awesome Chemistry class all about teaching methods
-Hawaii in two weeks
-indecision about what to do with my life
-frustration about boys (what else is new?)
-watching many Bollywood films
-all my friends getting engaged
-cooking more
Sometimes you just have to laugh a lot. and pray a lot. Life can be challenging, but it is so beautiful and magical and great.

writer's block and twilight
um, so all I have to say is I don't understand how Bella gets chased after by two incredibly hot boys.
she isn't exactly the most pretty thing, and she is pretty clumsy too. not to be mean haha it's just funny.
nevertheless, Divine Comedy this week is a parody of Breaking Dawn. I am very excited.
I need new ideas of what to write about. so I am not just writing boring lame blog posts all the time.
what are some fun things for me to write about? give me your opinions!
