The Importance of Being Lauren

Today in Seminary there were three people who either gave or got things from their significant others. A couple of the girls in my class were bemoaning the fact that they are single and alone on Valentine's Day. One of the girls even went so far as to dress in all black and act depressed, throughout the whole Seminary lesson. I am going to be honest here... There are only two girls in our senior class who are in relationships. I like the majority of the girls in my class am single right now. Mostly, it is because I am filling my time with other things (like blogging), school, work, and preparing to serve a mission...Okay all those things, and I don't really get asked to go on dates...

I got accepted to my dream school! Holla! This gif, explains my reaction perfectly! It was an amazing day! I had just gotten off of work, and I was in a bad mood.

After seeing the envelope I proceeded to run through the house, singing, dancing, and saying, "I got accepted, I got accepted, I got accepted. They want me. They really want me." I am just grateful that no one from my family slapped me, and they allowed me to celebrate for at least five minutes! Today is the first day I've posted since Thanksgiving....So I am planning on posting a couple posts to catch y'all up on my life! You know, if you care and stuff...
