The Name is Taylor

I started writing a new post when I realized that I never properly introduced myself to you - the blogosphere. So, for anyone who cares, here's a few quick facts about myself.

That's me. I L♥VE life. :)

I love all things sparkly - shoes, jewelry, underwear. If it sparkles, I pretty much have to have it.

If my dream of becoming a journalist doesn't work out, I'm going to be a beach bum in San Diego.

My favorite color is orange. Has been since I was a little kid.

I'm a guy's girl: I love sports, trucks, and going on adventures.

^^My beautiful truck (Thank you, Dad, for letting me take it to college!♥)

^^Hiking 15 miles at night in the snow to the Hot Springs=craziest adventure EVER.

I own 45 pairs of shoes.

The moment I first laid eyes on Cristiano Ronaldo, I fell in love. He is THE most attractive man on the planet.

^^Look at that smile! :)

I make amazing salsa.

I'm LDS and proud of it. I love the Church and the gospel so, so much.  

I believe that happiness is a choice. It's not dependent on your circumstances, but more on your mindset.

I believe that hard work will get you anywhere you want to go, regardless of the odds set against you.
And above all, I believe that all in life is pointless without love and passion.

Crazy=Having your heart broken by someone you trusted wholeheartedly.

Beautiful=Knowing that EVERYTHING. WILL. BE. OKAY.

My name is Taylor Street and I'm an optimist.

High on Life :)

It's Friday evening and I have zeroooo plans. But that's totally ok because I legitimately had one of the best weeks ever.

First up, I FINISHED my freshman year of college on Tuesday! It's been such a crazy journey getting this far and I know I've grown so, so much. Only three years left!! And just so everyone knows: I'm a Pre-Communications major; I'll be applying to BYU's Print Journalism program in September! I hope to be a columnist for Sports Illustrated someday. :)

Phil Taylor is my hero ^^

Secondly, I got an academic scholarship from BYU! Half tuition for the 2011-2012 school year! My scholarships for my freshman and sophomore years now total $14,870! I couldn't be more grateful for the scholarships that allow me to attend BYU and are helping me achieve my dreams.



Third, I moved out of the dorms! I mean, I loved my roommates and all, but I was about sick of that matchbox apartment.

126 <3

And finally, I went shopping today with my mommy! She bought me a pair of Enzo Angiolini heels I'd been eying since Thanksgiving AND I found out I got a $100 gift card to Victoria's Secret! (Can you say yoga pants galore??) 

Sparkles :)

Highlight of my day for real.

To put it simply: life is very, very good right now.

Crazy=The fact that it's the end of April and it still feels like winter in Utah. Beautiful=the flowers starting to bloom and the fact that summer is near!!

Insert Cliche Title Here.

Before I delve into anything else, let me first explain my blog title: Crazy, Beautiful.

First, it's a movie. An awesome one, nonetheless.

Second, it's a song by Ke$ha. Whom I love, by the way. Hate all you want.

Most importantly, it's my life: crazy and beautiful all at the same time.
For example, the amount of reading, essays, and quizzes I have to do for school is crazy. But the fact that I have the opportunity to go to school at BYU is beautiful.
Crazy=the amount of money I pay for gas; Beautiful=my truck. :)
Crazy=all of my guy friends are either on missions or about to leave. Beautiful=they're selfless enough to serve the Lord.

I think you get the picture. Evenstill, welcome to my Crazy, Beautiful world.
Please make sure your seat belt is securely fastened and you keep your hands and feet inside at all times. Enjoy the ride.
