10 Commandments

By
So a few years ago this guy named Jeffery Dean came down and he talked to the Christian youth of St. George about dating. One of the things he suggested we do that I particularly liked was the idea of a list of "10 Commandments" for our future spouse. These are ten standards that should be met before that person is considered for a relationship. I liked it and created my own set of 10 Commandments... but I haven't really followed them. So I went back and revised a few of them and I thought I'd post them up on here kind of as a way for me to stay accountable to these 10 Commandments. This way those of you reading can help hold me accountable to the standards I am setting. Without further ado here are my 10 Commandments...

10 Commandments for my Future Spouse
  1. He MUST have a relationship with God.
  2. He should be patient... I mean come on he has to put up with me for the rest of his life.
  3. He must be good with kids. Nothing makes a girl swoon more than a guy who is good with kids, period the end.
  4. He has to be willing to listen. Even when it's just pointless stuff I'm rambling about.
  5. He needs to get along with my best friend. I spend a lot of time with my best friend... they need to get along.
  6. He needs to do well with English. Bad grammar and bad spelling just turn me off... and show me that he's probably not intelligent enough for me.
  7. He must respect the performing arts. The performing arts are such a big part of who I am. I'm not saying he has to love them the way I do but he should respect them.
  8. He must be able to make me laugh. I love it when the person I'm with can always make me laugh no matter what mood I'm in.
  9. He should enjoy reading. As an avid reader myself it'd be nice to find someone with that quality as well.
  10. He absolutely must love dogs. I want to have dogs when I get older and have kids... someone who doesn't like dogs is out of the question.


On a totally different note, I just found out that I will now be a leader not an assistant in High Tides two Sundays a month and am just a little worried. I signed up to be an assistant, not to lead. I don't know the first thing about being a leader!!!! At the same time I also know that Jake and Sarah wouldn't have given the okay for me to lead if they didn't think I could do it. Please pray for me that I do well and everything goes okay for me and the students :)

    Wow! Those are some pretty big shoes to fill, but he's out there somewhere!

    As for being a leader...it IS scary and it's a HUGE responsibility. You won't be perfect the first few times, but once you get into the swing, it gets easier. But as a leader, you will always be growing. Expect that and you shouldn't have any problems! Congrats!

Opening Day

By
So I'm a Theatre Major, right? And part of being a Theatre Major is getting involved with shows. Last show I was a dresser and that was interesting. I basically helped the actors get ready, made sure costumes looked good. When the show was over for the night I helped to spray the costumes so they didn't stink, cleaned the dressing rooms and washed the articles of clothing that had to be washed. This experience helped me gain so much respect for the dresser's position. But that's not really what this article is about. Every semester we do two shows. A straight play, which is just acting no big huge musical numbers, and a musical. Our straight play was Much Ado About Nothing. I'd auditioned for the show but wasn't cast, hence why I was a dresser. Our musical was originally going to be Coram Boy , however the director felt he had taken on too much and decided to pull the plug on Coram Boy . Amadeus  was chosen as our second Fall production. Two problems came up w...

Disney College Program

By
So about two months ago, I started looking into attending the Disney College Program. What the Disney College Program is a chance for college students to take the semester and go to either Walt Disney World  Resort in Florida or Disneyland in California and do an internship. This is a great opportunity, and it's piqued my interest. I'm a huge Disney fan, I love everything that Disney is. I would give anything to work for one of the most magical companies out there. I've been reading blogs and watching YouTube videos and with each new view I get more and more excited for when my turn comes. I've decided that I will most likely do the program in the fall of 2016, due to conflicts with school. I'm Assistant Director for one of the shows we're doing in the spring and I'm working under one of my favorite professors, an experience that I am beyond ecstatic for. Not only that, but I'll finally have my Associate's Degree this spring. I've put graduating ...

Rape Culture

By
Rape culture in today's society makes me so incredibly furious. Even before I was raped I couldn't stand it. Since my rape, I hate even more. Rape is never the victim's fault. As a victim, I'd like to believe that myself. But here's the truth: thanks to rape culture I believe that what happened to me is all my fault. That I am the only one to blame for what happened. Thanks to rape culture I feel even worse about that night. You see rape culture teaches us that it's the girl's fault if a girl wears a skirt that's too short, if she flirts with a boy, if heaven forbid she was drinking, if she's wearing too much makeup, the list goes on an on. Just because I chose to wear that adorable new dress I bought that day for our date, (a dress that isn't any way shape or form immodest) because I chose to be alone with someone I trust and let them kiss me, it's my fault I was raped? That doesn't make any sense. No means no. I said no, he didn't...
