1.) There's a church on every corner...

LITERALLY! There is a church on every corner you look. It kind of reminds me of seeing a Starbucks on every corner when you're in a city.


2.) People don't drink coffee here!

Okay so speaking of Starbucks, many people love their morning coffee from Starbucks right? Well if you like your daily morning coffee I suggest you don't move to Utah. There's maybe one within a fifteen mile radius.


3.) The drivers are crazy!

I came from a small town but I've driven in cities before such as Seattle, Chicago, San Diego, Atlanta, Reno, and L.A. There are rude drivers out there but so far Utah has taken the cake in the worst drivers. I've never had so many close calls driving where I could've been in a gnarly accident until I moved here. It's like no one knows how to drive. Also don't even get me started on the traffic here... It's awful!


4.) Everyone has gone on a mission.

Where ever I go, all I hear about is how someone just served a mission in Brazil or somewhere else. I feel like it's all anyone can talk about. I'll be talking to someone about Harry Potter and then they're like, "Oh! I went on a mission once!" And it has nothing to do with our discussion. Also, if you haven't gone on a mission people look at you differently.


5.) It's a very "Cookie Cutter" world...

If you stand out in any way, you're looked down on in a certain way. Like me for example, I have four piercings, one tattoo, and my head is shaved. People look at me in a different way and I have gotten some judging looks from others and comments along with it. It feels like if you don't fit the "Cookie Cutter" image, then you're frowned upon.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
