High School Volleyball is Over :(

I am sad to say that high school volleyball has come to a close. It was definitely one of the best seasons of my life. I had the most amazing time an d i met so many new and amazing people over the season. I also had the chance to get to know some of the girls that I have known for a long time so much better.

My favorite memory is the bus rides. We had some deep conversations on those hour plus bus rides. My favorite time was when we went all the way out to Union high school and we had to stop in Duchesne for lunch. Some of the other girls and I thought it would be a good idea to walk 3/4 miles to try and make it to the Subway at the beginning of the town. We were told to be back on the bus by 2:10 and we had left at 1:45. We ended up running the 1 1/2 miles there and back only to be stopped by our coach who told us that we weren't leaving until 2:30.

We had the most amazing bus rides and it was some of the best bonding times we had as teammates.

I learned so much from this season and I have gotten some of the best advice from the older girls. The best advice I got was after one of the bus rides there were a few of the seniors and maybe three of us freshmen. We were sitting on the benches outside of the high school while we were waiting for our parents. I can't remember exactly how the topic got brought up but Carleigh, one of the seniors, said, "Don't waste your high school years on people who don't aren't worth your effort. I spent too long on boys and friends and it wasn't worth it." That really opened my eyes on some of my friends that I was wasting my time trying to impress and I am so happy that have cut them out of my life.

I also loved having team dinners. They were after practice and the entire program would go out into the cafeteria and eat food that some of the parents had brought in. We would all go and get plates with mountains of food piled on. We had so much fun playing the cup game and just talking.

I am so happy that I got to play volleyball with the people I did this year and I can't wait until next year when I'm not a freshman. I can't wait until the next season but until then I'll be playing club so stay tuned for stories from that.

Hello Friends

So since this is my first post I'm just going to tell you the basic stuff a friend should know about me since you, whoever you might be, are my friend. First of all I am doing this for a grade so don't be too surprised if I stop this blog after May, but who knows maybe I will grow to like and continue it. Secondly, I am 14 (a wee freshman) and my birthday is October 30th. My star sign is a scorpio (just so you can check mine when you see those horoscope posts on Instagram or Tumblr) and I like fall candles way too much.

My friend Emma and I at the Halsey concert

I like music a lot. I like artists like 5 Seconds of Summer, Blink-182, Halsey, Melanie Martinez, etc. My favorite color is blue and I like horror films. I play volleyball for PCHS and I like to think that I am pretty okay at it. I have a dog named Kona and a 2 year old brother named Cam. I hate the winter which is ironic because I live in a ski town. I have always wanted to visit the UK and go ride the London eye. I am obsessed to rain and I'm kind of addicted to tea. I probably have more friends on the internet than I do in real life.

My extended family can get way too close for comfort sometimes but I love them anyway. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a hardcore fangirl and have gone to extreme lengths to see a new music video like staying up until 3 am when I had to catch a plane at 6 am. I could probably live in leggings, sweaters, and my solid black Converse. I might be a train wreck some of the time but thats what you get from me. I am a proud owner of a polaroid and I'm kind of obsessed with it. My records are my most prized possessions and I would probably run into a burning house to save them. I'm pretty sure this covers most of the stuff you definitely need to know about me and I hope to get to know you too as this blog goes on. I hope you will find me humorous and entertaining and if you don't then you're missing out by not following my blog.  I apologize for this post not being very funny but aren't all introductions like that.
