Seems to me that if I can count on one month out of the year to be a drag, it's usually January...good news is that we are halfway through it!
Now let me just be a typical girl for this next blog. Not counting on any guys to truly care or read this, but before getting into anything with me this is what they should be aware of:
1. If I introduce myself to you as Ronnie and you STILL call me Veronica because it's "sexier", your chances with me will greatly decrease. Those who know me well know that Ronnie is a better fitting name for myself, as I am not mysterious or sexy at all!
2. I overanalyze everything to the point where I drive my own self nuts.
3. If you can make me laugh your chances with me will greatly increase.
4. I am hate games and guessing. If you like me tell me and act like it, if you don't, leave me alone and don't lead me on! It's as simple as that.
5. I am extremely shy until we have spent a little time together. After that I have the most random and hyper personality. If you are too serious you will not like me!
6. Getting random presents makes me feel awkward.
7. Don't let the first compliment you give me be that I have big boobs. And don't let the first thing you wanna do with me be something sexual.
8. I hula hoop and color in coloring books. I love sparkles and flowers and pink and unicorns. I'm still kind of a 6 year old sometimes.
9. If you sing to me I will be enchanted by you. I love boys who love music.
10. I absolutely hate making decisions.
If you're reading this and you're a guy you're either interested in how to woo me, think my random thoughts are entertaining, or are wondering if some of these things are mentioned because of you. In the case of the last, if you are wondering then yes it probably is about you. Ya stupid ducks and plaids, you know who you are!! Haha. Good day! :)

Better Late!!
Yes, I know 2011 ended 13 days ago, however, I still am going to do a little questioney recap of my wonderful year!
What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?
Graduated high school, lived away from home, worked at a retail store, went to college, lived in a tiny room, laundry, made my own doctor's appointments....etc.....college = culture shock when you have a Momma and Daddy who do so much for you!
Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My resoultion list was ridonkulous. Mediate every day? Record my songs? Read the whole Bible? I did none. And I have never meditated in my life by the way...I don't know what I was thinking with that one.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Sister-in-law Jen and sister Brianna!!! Auntie time!
Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully, no.
What countries did you visit?
Canada...twice!
What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
Well...I would like to LACK toxic relationships in 2012 that I HAD in 2011. But I would like to HAVE a better relationship with God, a better body, and more fun that I LACKED.
(ALL CAPS WAS UNNECESSARY FOR THAT I REALIZE HAHA :))
What dates from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
March 6, Skylar was born. May 22, I graduated from high school. July 7, Haylie was born. August 1. And December 31!
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Going to International Science and Engineering Fair in California (nerd, I know) and graduating high school!!
What was your biggest failure?
I held onto a very toxic relationship for way too long and let it destroy me when I should have spent the time wasted on other things.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
Don't believe so! I'm a lucky girl!
What was the best thing you bought?
Well Momma and Daddy got me the iPhone but I guess the best thing I bought was my college education...how corny and boring!
Where did most of your money go?
College.
What did you get really excited about?
Living with Brookie and Jeremy this summer, all the insane awesome people I have met since I left Sunburst in May, and my two beautiful nieces being born!
What song will always remind you of 2011?
YOU AND IIIII....YOU YOU AND IIIII!
BOY YOU GOT MY HEART BEAT RUNNING AWAY!
PARTY ROCKIN IN THE HOUUUUSEEE TONIIIGGGHT!
Compared to this time last year, are you:
happier or sadder?
much much happier!
thinner or fatter? the same I believe
richer or poorer? poorer....thank you for being a $899,768,000, tuition.
What do you wish you’d done more of?
Dancing and socializing!
What do you wish you’d done less of?
Worrying, being pitiful, and eating...haha.
How did you spend Christmas?
All my siblings, Momma and Daddy, cuties nieces, awesome cousins, aunts, and uncles!
What was your favorite TV program?
One Tree Hill, American Idol, Glee, New Girl, Awkward, and Teen Mom!
What were your favorite books of the year?
The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder!
What was your favorite music from this year?
Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Country, top 20, Ray Lamontagne, and my alternatives like Foster the People, the Maine, All Time Low, etc.
What were your favorite films of the year?
I didn't really go to movies haha. Water for Elephants was really good but super sad :(
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I
I turned 18...and to be completely honest I don't even remember my birthday!!!! It was on a Monday so I'm sure I just went to school, I didn't even get a cake!!
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
If Ryan Gosling would have just proposed to me already! Sheesh. Also if my room was like 10 square feet bigger. Haha
How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2011?
Pretty jeans! Sparkles, flowers, and flowy tops! The last month was spent in sweat pants though basically...gross.....
What kept you sane? My sisters and parents, Stephanie, Jacoba, Angie, and Ashlee at the beginning and at college lovely Jordyn and Ashlee and having Brianna's house to escape to!
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2011.
There are too many good people in this world to waste time trying to get the bad ones to care!

Shorty Short
How can it be possible that I have just 4 days left of my first semester of college?!
I think time goes by faster as I get older...and that kind of scares me because I feel like one day I will wake up and I'll be 60 and think where the heck did my life go?!
So, though this will not be a long blog, let me leave you all with a simple message.
When someone tells you that life is short they really mean it. So take risks, have fun, love everyone, and don't put off being the person you want to be until tomorrow because tomorrow is too late!
So now I am going to take my own advice....
I am going to drink a few diet cokes, watch some happy Christmas movies, and hammer some history into my brain for the final tomorrow at 8 am!
College fellows: Good luck on your exams :)
P.S. Better, more entertaining blogs to follow once this week has come to a close!

Elephants
Sometimes when I'm alone in my room I start to just jump and dance around. And then I remember that anyone walking from the North Hedges parking lot would be able to clearly see me being an idiot.
Sometimes I spend hours watching romantic music videos on youtube. And then I realize that if I didn't spend so much time watching these videos I may have my very own love life to account for.
Sometimes I get excited about how happy jolly ranchers make me. And then when it's time for me to go out in public I look in the mirror only to see a blackish tongue.
Sometimes I put off studying, homework, and papers until the night before (actually, I always do it...but for poetic sake...). And then I have a mini brain annurisum/nervous breakdown when it's 1 am and I have to crank out breathhtaking intelligence in 6 hours.
Sometimes I think it's a good idea to be a professional creeper on Facebook. And then I get a virtual slap in the face when I find out things I never wanted to know.
Sometimes I write blogs that describe how ridiculous I am. And then the whole world knows to stay away from the crazy sparkle girl. Haha.

Yes, I'm Aware I'm Going Crazy
Strawberry flavored ghost dots...LIARS.
Orange fruit snacks...LIARS.
Blue shock tart at the end of the package...LIARS.
Maybe my problem is that I'm relying on candy to foretell my future. Maybe my problem is that I'm desperate enough to let candy foretell my future.
I hope I'm not crazy and that I'm not the only one who does this.
Have you ever had something that drives you so crazy that you start making bargains with yourself?
"If the next car that passes me is a truck I will get an A on my History exam."
When the next car that passes you is a truck you get so excited and a major confidence boost.
When the next car that passes you is a mini van you tell yourself that those little bargains are just fake anyways and that it doesn't matter, you can still get an A.
Well I have been making these bargains with candy for the past month and a half...for the same thing. And each time it's what I want.
"If the next ghost dot I eat is strawberry flavored..."
"If there are no orange fruit snacks in this pack...."
"If the last shock tart in this package is blue..."
Each time the dot is strawberry, each time there's no orange fruit snacks, each time that shock tart is blue.
But as time goes on I can more clearly see every day that what I'm bargaining with candy for isn't even worth this obsessing.
No matter what the candy tells me, I know that it's wrong. I don't want it to be wrong. I want this so bad. But if the candy were right wouldn't things be set right by now? I guess I didn't give the candy a time limit.
Maybe over time it would be...but now I need to decide if it's even worth it.
.........
Sadly, I don't think so.

Freshman 15
It has been ages since I last did this! How sad, but now that I am back to it I am hoping to get a little more frequent again. Anyways! Since I have been running low on inspiration lately, I'm making another list.
Fifteen Fun Facts About Freshman Year (So Far)
1. It is much harder to wake up for an 8 am class now than it was last year.
2. Procrastination is a lifelong disease that cannot be cured.
3. Working out at a gym is much more productive than working out at home. No one is around to judge me if I take a "break" at home. At the gym ya gotta power through or risk looking like an out of shape lazy waste of a human.
4. Don't buy fridges from Wal-Mart. They randomly shut off about 4 times a day, so all you can keep in there is Diet Dr. Pepper and Propels.
5. Finding a bestie from your most miserable class makes it a lot more bearable.
6. Not every weekend is a party....i.e.: I spent last Saturday night eating Taco Bell alone in my car in a parking lot and driving around Bozeman singing to Taylor Swift...yeah I know....haha.
7. Just because the cafeteria has delightful sprinkle donuts every morning does not make it okay to eat them every morning.
8. Cards, money, and care packages from Momma and Daddy and Sissy make life swell :)
9. Facebook sees me about 40 hours a week. I think they need to pay me for being so loyal.
10. Being 20 minutes away from a beautiful big sister, a pretty little niece, free laundry, and a lovely home cooked meal is fabulous.
11. My roommate is lovely!
12. Be careful who you develop creepy crushes on from afar. The world is smaller than you think. It could turn out to be the most awkward thing ever when you realize who they really are....I won't elaborate.
13. Just because you're in college, does not mean you will suddenly develop sophisticated old people taste. Don't bring black coffee to class hoping that you'll suddenly like it. You'll be wishing for a gallon of creamer after the first taste. Yuck.
14. Wal-mart, Taco Bell, and Facebook creeping are all great things to add into an all nighter.
15. ...I miss my hula hoops....

This is not the end, this is not the beginning!
So here we are.
The summer has quickly ended and I can easily say it was the best summer of my life (so far :)). I met so many amazing new people, made new friends, found new hope with boys, and learned to appreciate my amazing family and home so much more.
I remember exactly three months ago I was sitting in my room in Sunburst, still not completely packed to leave, and thinking...this is it. Well, here I am again...sitting in a new room, a new home....still not completely packed to leave... This is it...
Now prepare yourself...here comes in corny, sentimental Ronnie.
No matter who we are or where we've been, we almost always try to plan for life and predict the future. But if we would just stop planning and predicting for a few moments we could truly see how beautiful our lives already are. I never could have imagined anything that happened this summer three months ago. Not a single thing...but I wouldn't have changed anything that happened for the world! Although it's only been three months...I feel like I'm getting closer and closer to the person I want to be every day.
So, thanks, God, for:
My two beautiful sisters/best friends
Having a fabulous place and fabulous people to live with this summer
The amazing friends I have been able to stay in touch with
The new people I met :)
Random bursts of spontaneity that led to the crazy, fun memories
A BEAUTIFUL and healthy new niece
Keeping my other BEAUTIFUL princess healthy
The best parents I could possibly ask for
And for keeping the bright, sparkling future a secret from impatient little me
I think it's good to not know how cold the water is...just jump in!
