new year// new roommates

   another year of college rolls around the corner, and yes that means new roommates. i have the BEST roommates. i am rooming with my 4 good friends from california. we all have known each other from 13 and on, and we've been best friends through everything, even the move to utah. my room roommate is sam dayton. she's my twin tower and my best friend! we're both around 6 ft tall, avid volleyball players, and have a love for piano. she's been there for me always, and i can always count on her for anything! cortney & brynn pack are also my roommates, and, WOW we go back. we would always be at disneyland on friday night and just doing crazy things. taylor chavez is our 5th roommate, and she's just a straight up cholo who loves lucky brand, she's pretty awesome.


  our favorite hobbies include shopping, eating, watching movies, repeat. we recently went up to salt lake city for the day, and we literally shopped til we dropped. we started the day at temple square and got to see the visitor centers. after that we headed over to the conference center. we had a tour given to us by the cute elderly woman who was just ecstatic to talk to us and for our missions. after the conference center we SHOPPED. and not just your average shopping trip, we literally went into every store. thank goodness for labor day sales or my bank account would be suffering. (lol jokes mom)

  we started to get kind of hungry towards the end of our shopping spree, and so sam suggested we go to her favorite burger place in slc. cheddaburger. some of these burgers included fried eggs, marshmallows, and basically any other ingredient you can think of. also, their shakes. there are such things as nutella shakes !! so as you can imagine, our stomachs were full by the end of this stop.

  lastly, we made a stop at our favorite store: trader joe's. my personal favorite thing to get here is the mochi ice cream. this is ice cream rolled into a ball covered in a rice sweet dough and covered in flour, and then frozen. other roommate favorite snacks include: dried sugar coated mangos, kettle corn, and chocolate covered almonds.

  this day to salt lake city was definitely one of my favorite times so far with my roommates. i find it so sad to only have 48 more days with them, but i'm excited for the times after the missions and the weddings and all the great times before we each leave. i love these girls so much.
