Sometimes It's Hard to Stay Positive During the School Year............Tips for the Teenage Soul.

Hey guys! So school started this week for me and yes most of the week was really fun, but now it's back to going to bed early and doing homework for 4+ hours. Sometimes it's really hard to stay positive during the school year. That's why I am going to give you guys some tips to help you out for this next school year. First thing that I like to do is listen to music to help me stay positive. Music can relax you if you are feeling stressed out. Just choose a nice calm song that you can listen to to calm down your nerves. Also another thing that I like to do is meditate. Now I know that sounds weird, but sometimes it works when you are stressed out during the year. If you have a big test coming up try to meditate. By meditating your body will relax and you can study better and keep better focus. Also get to bed on time. I know you want to stay up to watch that new episode of "Parks and Rec," but you need your sleep. Plus most TV's today can record TV Shows. That's how I watched one of my favorite shows "Psych." I would record it and then go to bed and watch it the next day when I got home from school. That way you get to bed on time and can still watch it later. Okay those are the only tips I have because this blog is supposed to be fun and this post is boring. So if any of you have any suggestions for what you can do to make your school year better just comment on this post. Well hope everyone has an awesome day. Bye!

I Can't Wait to Serve a Mission!

Hey guys! So last night after I wrote on the blog I hiked the "Y" with a couple of my friends. It was so much fun. We had a party! Anyway so we are walking up the trail and I look back and see this guy aways behind us and I'm like "guys we need to walk faster, someone is going to catch up with us" just to be funny. So then later this guy passed us as we stopped. So we were like whatever and made it to the Y. Then we see the guy up there and we just start a conversation with him. We figure out he's a college student going to UVU. Next, we meet his friend who is about the same age. I just have this full out conversation with them and while we were talking I had this feeling to tell them about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I didn't know exactly when to bring it up and eventually we started talking about it. One of the guys got baptized a few years ago and another one is going to church every week, but hasn't been baptized yet. I had a great love for these two guys that I had just barely met. I just wanted them to know how happy the Gospel of Jesus Christ makes me. We talked about the spirit and I said how amazing that feeling is when you have it. They agreed. I wish I could have said more. Now I  just hope that things go well for them and that they keep going to church. This experience made me think a lot about my mission that I could be going on next year. I can't wait to go out on mission and teach others about the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them to be happy! I will never forget talking to those guys! What a great experience! We can all be missionaries even in our own cities. Hope everyone has a great day! :)

Our Live are very Fragile

Hey guys! Sorry it's yet again been a long time since I have written on the blog. I just got distracted with Summer and not having to worry about school. Anyway I wanted to talk today about our lives. Our souls. I like the word souls. Or spirits is a good one too. We all have spirits. Our lives are very fragile. If you didn't already hear a few days ago Robin Williams died. He actually committed suicide. It is so sad. He was such a great actor and man. He did good things and entertained us at the same time. On Facebook one of my friends had a post that talked about how we all thought Robin Williams was the happiest guy in the entire world and how we would never think that he would commit suicide. But he did. My friend cautioned everyone to be nice to every person we speak to because they may be acting happy on the outside, but may be super depressed on the inside. I fully agree with that. So let me repeat again our lives are very fragile. I mean imagine if someone you weren't very fond of died. How would you feel? You might blame yourself for their death. Then another person is sad. There are so many people out their in the world and we all have problems. I like to use the word challenges. We all have challenges in this life. We are supposed to have challenges in this life. Without challenges we wouldn't learn anything. We need to grow and learn everything that we can while we are alive. We need to be nicer to people. We can't put people down. I know that there are those people who are just so mean and won't ever apologize. Don't worry about them. Just be nice to them. You don't know what struggles they are going through in life right now. I know that if we are nicer to people, that the world can be a happier place and we can all be united. Even just a smile can make someone's day. There's a song that I love. It's called "Need a Little Love." In the chorus it says "Love, it's always worth it. Love, everyone deserves it. It's the friend that holds your hand when nobody understands. Love, it wants to heal you. Love, can see the real you, but you have to open up when you need a little love." I love that so much. We all have to be open to giving and feeling love. Love is what makes the world a better place. So please you guys be nice to everyone and always include others. We can change the world! Everyone have an awesome Thursday night. I'm about to hike the "Y." Wahoo!
