My Thoughts on Being a Blogger

-
So I guess I'm a blogger now...

 Not that I have anything against bloggers, besides the fact that I generally believe that they are pretentious and seeking attention. I mean how important do you think you are to dedicate a whole website to your everyday life and assume everybody wants to know all about it? But here I am, so I guess that makes me pretentious now too. 

 My basic reason for doing this is that I want to practice my writing. For those of you who don't know (which is probably most everyone), I am switching my major at BYU to Editing & Publishing; this will lead me into a career in editing, which usually requires strong writing skills. While I don't think I'm a terrible writer *everyone reading scoffs*, I want to improve my abilities, so again, here I am. Now I know what everyone's thinking, "you're telling me you're a blogger who's not a 'mommy' who loves sharing all her fun cookie recipes and doing DIY projects for her trendy home and kids' school projects? Is that even legal?" I know I don't have any of the typical qualifications, but turns out those things aren't requirements to start a blog...who knew? I'll admit it might be tough for all of us to handle, but we can get through it.

 I'm really just planning on sharing thoughts and opinions on here that I have on a day-to-day basis. Anyone who knows me knows that once I get going, I can give a good rant about things, so basically, that's what I'm going to do. Rant. I'm not really trying to make a political statement or argue about things, just 💖express myself💖. In other words, I'm really annoying and want you to voluntarily read my overbearing opinions so that I don't feel responsible if you get annoyed or offended 👍.

 So now that that's out of the way, welcome to my blog! Feel free to comment, share, or give me feedback on my writing. I'm here to improve, people.

A Donkey And An Elephant Walk Into A Bar...

So with the excitement of the elections that happened this week, my attention has been drawn to the glaring issues that exist in our current political system. I'm not talking about the social issues that you all voted on but rather the political parties you voted for. This isn't going to be a rant about my political views, it's a rant about my views on politics in general. I grew up in Idaho, which is a Republican state. I now live in Utah, which is a Republican state. Growing up I assumed that I was a Republican because that’s what my parents were and I had the idea in my head that the Republican views were the only ones that aligned with my religion. Now that I'm older and able to think for myself I've realized that I have absolutely NO IDEA what each party stands for with the exception of like three issues. And I'm willing to bet that the same goes for a lot of you. So here's my problem(s) with political parties: nobody has any idea what they're a...

The (Un)Sanctity of Marriage (part 2)

-
So now that I've discussed Rule 1, I'll go ahead and give my two cents about Rules 2 and 3. In case you've forgotten, I'll restate the Rules before beginning. Rule 1: Dating someone for a month (or even three or four) is not sufficient time to have decided that you're gonna marry that person and to start planning your wedding. Rule 2: Marrying the first person you date out of high school or even anyone you date before you're at least twenty is usually stupid (not always). Rule 3: Having your wedding planned before you're even "engaged" is a mockery. #oynaf So discussing Rule 2 is a little trickier because it's not as black and white to me as Rule 1 is, so let me paint you a little picture. In high school I dated a great guy for about eight or nine months; he was two years older than me, and he left on a mission half way through my junior year. We wrote back and forth, I dated other people, he came home, we went on a date, we went our sep...
