k. there have been a few things going on that haven't really been working in my favor. But right now i am over that and am ready to start over. I am never going to forget what happened, people who have changed my life and my best friends. But a new start is really looking good right now because I am taking a big step in my life in a few months. I start my Recreational Therapy degree and in just under 2 years I will most likely be a University of Utah graduate, and have a job in the real world. I'll be 21 and graduated as a Recreational Therapist (hopefully) ready to take on the world one step at a time. This past year at snow has taught me so many things about relationships, boys, friends, and myself and I couldn't be more thankful for the people in my life. I honestly don't know where I would be if I hadn't spent 8 months with Tayten, or if HaziB hadn't taken Social Work with me, or if I hadn't gone to India a second time which is what sparked my interest...

k. so this week is graduation. and i'm realizing i have no one to sit by. none of my close friends are graduating with me, and everyone is going to be at home so they won't even be there for after. everyone is super busy this week, so they don't even wanna go on adventures with me on my last week. Super depressing huh? I know. so i don't really know what i'm gonna do this week. I am moving home this friday then coming back down Thursday with my mom for my last final, and to hang out before graduation. you know how growing up sucks, well it sucks even more when your friends don't have to yet and they will all be at snow again next year. well.. I'll keep you guys updated on how this week goes. I hope to make it a blast with whoever will hang out with me. but after that i'm gone. I'll be a snow college graduate and alumni in 2 weeks. then officially i'll be a ute ready to finish my last two years of college. lame post. sorry. but that's w...

K. so um... hi my name is jordyn standage and i suck at keeping my blog up to date. quite a bit has happened since I have blogged last! so here is the scoop! -I got accepted to the U starting in the fall so #goutes -I graduate Snow in 24 days (Holy crap i didn't realize it was so soon until i counted the days) -I AM LEADING AN EXPEDITION TO INDIA -Spring Break in Draper was chill and relaxing && -Tayt gets hypnotized really easy now let me explain! I am pretty sure I already told you I got accepted to the U, but as of now I am a Parks, Recreation and Tourism (PRT) major with an emphasis in Recreational Therapy (RT). I am almost signed up for my classes and will be done in 2 years or less, can't wait! :) My advisor is awesome and so are my soon to be teachers. So let's get this school thing done! Also while I was up there I interviewed at the pool and got hired right on the spot to help with Swim Lessons and Lifeguard at the U pool.. so long live my eas...

DEAR SNOW COLLEGE:        First of let me start by saying thank you, thank you for all the memories you have given me, I really am grateful. You let me find my first boyfriend, an amazing roommate, my career path I want to pursue, and countless more opportunities in the two years I've been here. Thank you, but that is not all.       Snow College you suck. Honestly and truthfully, you are the worst! You aren't all sunshine, rainbows, and happiness. You bring tears, sadness and heartache as well. You are going to give me the hardest goodbyes, and painful endings to a great few years I've had here.       You had so much diversity from huge poly football players, to amazingly talented music majors that have been here for years to your basic cowboy/girl and the unavoidable city kid (me). You can bring people from all across the country, state and globe together to create amazing bonds that are going to last a lifetime. I have met people...

can i just tell you all how amazing the weather has been? i love it, warm weather makes me the happiest person! honestly I love it so much, i wore shorts and t shirts this week and it was heavenly. Also in the past two weeks I have hiked the s twice. TWICE. There was still some snow but it was so refreshing because the sun was hot and the snow was cold so i stayed cool but not frozen. lately I have been working out. lets just say I am not in the same shape i was last year running wise. but I am getting there again and I love it! Spring is for cleaning, i cleaned out my closet not too long ago, i'm cleaning up my workouts and eating habits, cleaning up the winter depression. getting ready for a summer in the sun. lifeguarding and being tan. It's going to be the greatest summer.. well besides the fact tayt will be miles and miles away in Texas selling vivint. But all my high school friends are gonna be coming home from their missions and I honestly can't wait to see them....

well hey there folks. I don't know what to do with this blog anymore. you know my life failing and succeeding how much i don't get along with girls how annoyed i get with girls about tayt about next year etc. everything interesting about me is over and tayt and I never do anythin fun anymore we watch the hundred, cuddle and go to class and the library. life is getting dull which sucks because TAYT AND I WON'T HAVE A SUMMER + A FALL SEMESTER + A WINTER BREAK + A SPRING SEMESTER + POTENTIALLY ANOTHER SUMMER. so I am gonna do more stuff this semester for goodness sakes I have 1 class a day and work twice a week + swim lessons every two weeks. I have time. I need to do more. and i'm gonna. idk what i am gonna do more of so if you have ideas let me know. thanks.. PLEASE HELP ME OUT xoxo jordie
