Hello
If unicorns were real then money would grow on trees and rivers would flow with chocolate.  Wouldn't that just be awesome?
I would agree
HOw is your day so far?
It has been pretty good
What has made it good?
I have just been getting a lot of work done And getting things organized Which is always nice
That does always feel good!  I won $5 today!!
WOAH Congrats!
Thanks!  I know it isn't much but to win anything is exciting!  Is organizing something that you like to do and you are good at?
Any money is good money Yeah Its fun, its better when I get paid for it Which I am so that is why its a good day
That is great!  I love being paid for something that I enjoy doing.  I work with young kids and I love that!  They always have funny things to say that make me smile.
Oh that is way cool, do you teach? Or what has you working with kids?
Swim lessons.  One time one of my students talked about watching a really good movie called "The Olympics"  it was SO cute!
Hahaha that sounds like it would be fun to work with them So are you a swimmer then?
It is a lot of fun.  But you know some days are more fun than others.  I like to swim, but not the best at it.  I swam in high school. What is it that you have been organizing
Way fun, I like being in water but I cant really swim all that way. Well I can swim, just not lap swim I am indexing all the files for a company since 2014
ha ha ha Oh that sounds a bit tedious, is it?
Yeah... it can be but That is why I am just chatting inbetween each file And I also put my phone in the big stacks and I cant use it until I do all the papers on top of it Its good motivation
What a great idea!  You are a genius!  I love motivation tricks. Often my rewards are spending time on Pinterest or taking a nap )
Haha thanks I just had to delete pintrest.... I wasted too much time on it
Ha Ha Ha  I don't think I can do that, then what would be my reward!?!  I finally convinced my mom to get a pinterest account.
How does she like it?
She likes it.  She doesn't spend alot of time on it. I thought it might become her crack cocaine but I guess not so.  However, she's tried a few new recipes and we have all liked that!
Oh then it was worth it! I love food And I love cooking
Definitely!  My favorite things to look at on Pinterest are food, organizational ideas, and art!  What about you?
I liked photography ideas, gardens, and drawings
That is so cool.  I've just started to become interested in photography the last few months.  What about Instagram, what do you like to follow there?
I mainly just follow a lot of photography accounts, some friends and art pages Basically the same thing haha
Cool, and I just thought that ha ha.
what is making you interested in photography?
Have you ever followed worldofartists, I really like alot of their posts.
I think I have seen some of their stuff It shows up on my discover page
I have been on a few trips in the last couple of years and worked on my high school year book staff and I guess I just started to get the bug. Are you a photographer?
That is way cool Yeah I do a lot of photography
What type do you like the most?
I really enjoy taking all sorts of portraits, usually in nature somewhere rather than a studio It gives me a reason to get out and go on hikes and explore
That is awesome!  Do you have a favorite season to photograph?
I can work with any season, They each bring new things and give different scenes. By the end of the season any way I am usually ready for the next Spring could last a little longer though I dont always get out in time to take pictures with all the flowers And I guess summer is nice, its more light during the day; I love light!
Me too but not because I'm tired of taking pictures of it, I just like the change.  Spring flowers never last long enough! I love light too! I am always sad when summer is over like the sad when Christmas is over.  So is summer your favorite time of year?
I do like the warm weather, but just the same the new is exciting when the seasons change Ill always have another to look forward What is your favorite kind of photography?
I really like landscapes as well as focusing in on one particular part such as a flower, or building, or person. Are portraits your favorite, as long as it is outside :)
For the most part yeah! That is cool, it sounds like you have a big variety That is good
So do you do it professionally? Thanks!
Like for a living?
yes
Not for a living but I do do wedding and engagements and things like that to make a little on the side
That's cool!  That's gotta be a great way to earn money while in school because you can set your own schedule.  How did you get into photography?
Yeah its pretty nice! but it can take up most nights and weekends so I have to be careful to leave time for me sometimes I started with land scape and then in highschool I learned how to take and develop film Then I took AP photo and kept going since
Wow that is impressive, I had no idea there was even such a thing as AP photo! I bet you can get pretty burnt out when you over do it. Are you going into some sort of photgraphy/art major?
Haha it is just ap 2D design but our school had it focused and centered around photography Oh for sure No I am doing Industrial Design So sorta art but also math and science
Again impressive, right and left brain talents!!
Haha thanks What about you?
I am majoring in communications with an emphasis in public relations.  I'm an underclassman though so I haven't gotten into it much yet.
Okay way cool What made you want to do that?
I am really excited about it!  Communicating in general used to be a really big weakness of mine.  But with life experience and of course divine intervention I got better and better at it.  I also absolutely LOVE to write!  So the thought of being able to use those 2 skills and get paid for it makes me really happy. I would love to be a corporate event planner, work for a non profit, or there are several options.
That is awesome! Its great that it was a weakness you improved on
did you get my long answer?
Yeah
Oh there it is.  Thank you very much! I really am excited about it!
Sometimes it takes a minute for it to show what you send, but it does send
So how is your file organizing going?  Have you made a major dent this afternoon while chatting?
Yeah, It is going well. I made it through 2017. Well halfway through from 2014
Oh way to go!! You should get a raise :)
Ahaha well it is just for my dads business So we shall see
Well maybe your boss should buy you dinner then  haha
I would appreciate that a lot! Haha No I need to make dinner at some point for my parents they are too busy to usually cook
Well hey want me to ask my mom for some good pinterest recipes :)
Hahaha I dont know if there is currently any food to cook... thats the problem
Oh that is a problem, you kinda need groceries in order to cook anything. Hmmm.... What types of things do you like to cook?
I usually like cooking italian dishes of some sort They are fun Or egg plan parmesan Or something with shrimp
I have never had egg plant parmesan, is it one of your favorites?  I love pasta too!  I actually like to cook and bake as well. Last week I tried  a cinnamon roll in a mug recipe and it turned out pretty good.  My mom and younger brother like it.
Nice! Yeah egg plan parmesan is so good I made nutella cinnamon rolls the other week and they were so good
Yum! I love nutella!! Those sound delicious! Have you ever tried cookie butter? Oh have you ever tried peanut butter and nutella with banana?  If you like bananas you will love it!
THat sounds way good I havent tried cookie butter what is it?
There are speculoos cookies made in Europe that taste better than graham crackers but similar.  The cookie butter is similar consisitency to peanut butter but it tastes like those European cookies.  You can get it at Trader Joe's or World Market or now it's easier to find in general supermarket stores.  My mom found it at Winco  recently! It's yummy on bananas as well.  It's also really good on vanilla wafers!
Hm I will have to go try to find it sometime
I highly recommend it.
Its on my list to find I will spend all summer looking for it
I hope it doesn't take you that long!  Do you have a Trader Joe's where you are?  If so you can definitely find it there.  I've never looked at Walmart but I know Walmart sells the cookies it's made out of so they probably might sell the cookie butter too?
Somewhere across town I think there is one
Well good luck on your hunt!  I feel happy knowing that maybe there might be a fellow cookie butter lover out there.
Hahaha For sure So any fun plans coming up?
Not really.  I am working 3 jobs this summer, life guarding and teaching swim lessons for 2 different pools so that will take up most of my time.  The last 2 summers though
Oh gosh That is a lot
I've gotten to take some really fun trips so it's okay.  How about you?
Nothing much, I just got back from a trip and Just need to spend some time working
We always have to have money, don't we? Was your trip a fun one?
Haha gosh dang money It was, we went to virginia
Oh cool.  I bet you got some great pictures!  Do you have family there or was it just to sight see?
It was to see my aunt and the BYU ballroom tour tam team* My brother in law is on it
Oh wow great reasons to go.  I've been to DC but that's it for the east.  I really want to visit NYC! How was the performance?
Both NY and DC are really cool to see to It was fantastic I loved seeing them
I would love to get an internship in New York so then I would get to live there for a semester.
That would be awesome What places would you want to see there?
All the regular tourist attractions of course but mostly experience every day life in the big city.  What would you recommend?
I mean times square is great I love going to see plays there The food is good
What have you seen?  If you tell me Hamilton I will so happy for you but also SO envious!!
I havent I have seen Sheer Madness and Lionking
I don't know what Sheer Madness is.   What is it about? Have you been to NY alot?
It was a smaller play that was a lot of improv I have been once It would be fun to go again
My parents went several years ago and loved it!  They saw Mama Mia and stayed right off of Times Square
