who says?!

who says college is fun?!
who says you make a lot of friends in college?!

because seriously, i'ma punch them in the face if they say that one more time. but i guess it's getting better. i figured something out about college though. people work it up so much to be this huge thing..and so i was expecting something big and huge and terrible. i had anxiety attacks about it. but then i sat down and realized..."wait a second, college is just school!" haha i know, what a lame statement. BUT it's true. i worked it up so much in my head that i was expecting..who knows what. so i was just all stressed out about it. but no, it's just freaking school still. which kinda sucks, but you know..you do what you gotta do. and i'ma do this thing!

i got a job finally :) after applying to over 40 places. I FREAKING GOT A JOB! horray for me. it's at cafe paesan. it's like an italian version of cafe rio and i'm not going to lie, it's delish!

i've gotten so fat though, i swear. skinny roommates that eat all day is going to be the death of me. because not so skinny mallory eats all day with them. NOT GOOD. but i guess it's good that i'm poor because i dont have money to buy food, so therefore..once i run out of the food i currently have. eating is over. haha

anyways, i am alive. kinda. i'm just wishing i wasnt so tired all the time. and sometimes i wish i was better at making friends. :/ it's not easy for me! i'm not one to just go up and be like "oh hi waht are you talking about? oh my names mallory."
and then the whole issue of "so..what do you do for fun?" comes up and uh HELLO. that is my least favorite question in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD. becasue i dont do anything for fun! i dont know how to answer that freaking question! i always just awkwardly laugh and say "oh..you dont want to know" but uh hello. in reality..i dont have a freaking answer for you. so please, i beg of you. do not EVER ask me that question. because i dont have cool talents. i dont do anything. so just dont ask!

anyways. dating life? yeah. not there yet either so dont even bother asking.

seriously..who doesnt love a good sammich!? i sure do!

4. movies that make you laugh over and over and over again no matter how many times you watch it. what are they for me you ask? currently house bunny :) hahaha. i just cant get enough. BUT you can never forget baby mama. what a classic! i'm sure there are more, i go on kicks. but my all time favorite movie? edward scissorhands. LOOOVE IT.

5. reading a super good book that you want to pass around the entire world. aka. my sisters keeper. i LOVED the movie, and then last summer i found the book at walmart for like $4, so i was like oh! i will read it in kenya! yeah, i never did. but then i took it to thailand and started reading it. needless to say i got SUCKED into it and couldnt stop. anyways, i loved it. everyone and their dog should read it. i'll let you borrow it. i promise. sign up now.

6. puppies. babies. and anything that cuddles.

aka. this is my favorite song in the world. i listen to it every morning...sometimes twice. but usually three times :) i dont know what makes me so happy about it, but i secretly just want someone to bust out a uke in the middle of some random place and sing it to me.

actually no because i would feel super super awkard and most likely run away with my BRIGHT red face. curse my face that turns red any time anyone even looks at me. it's not like i can help it! and i especially hate when people are like "OH MY GOSH YOUR FACE IS SO RED." okay, hello. thanks for that JERKS. i know it's red. i can feel it all hot and awkard. it's not like i was sitting there all awkwardly just wishing my face would turn bright red to make the already awkward situation even more awkward!

man..some people.

anyways, remember that list i made..things that give me anxiety. yeahh wellll i forgot to add something to it!
but i guess it kinda goes along with the whole mascots thing..anyways. i'll tell you.

it's called i am so so so afraid of taxidermy animals. moose heads, deer heads, EVERY animal at the bean museum at BYU. i cried...CRIED! when my mother took me. granted i thought the bean museum was where they made stupid freaking beans or something. nobody told me the truth! and i was like..5.
or maybe 8. but it doesnt matter. i hated it. maybe i just felt bad for the dead animals. or maybe i was afraid.

i'm going to go with the afraid one.

i am also afraid of the dinosaur museums...

oh! maybe it's just big things because i am super freaked by huge things that are..tall. haha.i probably shouldnt let myself write on my blog so late..i just blab about things that are super awkward and embarrassing.

anyways. i NEED a pet piggy. like the little ones that stay little forever..like in uptown girls.



this is another one of my favorite movies that i've seen wayyy too many times.

:)

here's something that made my day this week. making sugar cookies at work-
resulted in consuming half a carton of frosting...WAY too many sprinkles and awesome mickey mouse, star, moose, and heart shaped cookies.

whims and watermelon

everyone has done at least one thing in their life that was completely on a whim. it doesnt have to be big...but sometimes the bigger the better! it is probably one of my favorite things to do...it reminds me that i am in control of my life! i love it!

anyways, the reason i bring this up...i gave in. i cut my hair. and let me just tell you..i CUT my hair. i absolutely love it though. it is super short, and freaking so easy to do, and honestly...i have never felt prettier. i would have never thought that because you'd think i'd feel like a boy or something..but alas, that is not the case. I dont really have any good pictures of it..i swear every time a camera turns on and my face does like..super ugly things so i just am really embarrassed to show anyone them. buttt here is one that you kinda get the idea of how freaking adorable i am now ;)

okay, i lied. this one is super ugly. how embarrassing.

anyways, i want to know what everyone else has done on a whim! have you ever just been driving and....decided you needed a little vacation orrr..i dont know! bought something super expensive without really putting some good thought into it? i really want to know! i feel like i need to do things like this more often.

also, sorry about the centered words. it automatically did it anddd it wont let me change it back. or maybe i am just crazy and somewhat handicapped with technology (which is a rather large possibility)

oh, and the watermelon part. i LOVE watermelon. i wish someone would buy me one a day...ahh. i would be the happiest girl on the planet earth. and i love sunflowers, and daisys. soo much. they just make me happy!

so this summer has been awesome. i just want to say that. i cant even believe how fast it has gone by..i swear i was graduating YESTERDAY. and now i've already been to thailand, got a job, quit that job, got a new job, went sailing, been to EVERY free concert at pioneer park (yes, that was my summer goal. i guess i still have a few more to go. i dont know why i love them so much..mostly for the people watching. it is one of my few talents.) i have partied at the farmers market, melted in the sun, got a blistering sun burn (you have to make that mistake at least once every summer), drove through the canyon for my first time, rode a segway through portland, picked berries, and seriously...soooo much more. i cant even believe it.

but now i am unhappy to announce that..i move to orem this month.

i guess it is a bittersweet announcement for me. i am soo ready and soo excited for all the awesome things that are ahead..but it is probably the scariest thing to me EVER. what is wrong with me? i can go to kenya, and thailand without my parents..no problem! but send me 30 minutes away aaand i am having a freaking anxiety attack! something is seriously wrong with me.

oh and also, does anyone know if there is somewhere that teaches meditation. i really want to do it!

anyways, this is me signing off!

WOW! i'll be in bed before midnight for probably the first time this whole summer! :) go me.
