Hey!
Hi! How are you?
I'm doing well, I got to play cards for all of my last two classes
That's always fun! What card games did you play?
I learned how to play blackjack and no betting poker I am terrible so I mostly just sat and watched
Ooh I'm terrible at those too haha I usually like to play Capitalism or BS
We were going to play BS but then someone suggested poker I was the only person who didn't know and so I lost, normally I'm really competitive but I mostly just sat and screamed internally
That would be me 100% Have you ever played Mao?
Oh my gosh I am so bad at that too! ERS and speed are the only ones I'm good at
It's so hard when you first start learning! But then it gets really fun once you know what you're doing Oh I'm so bad at those because I have really slow reflexes I always end up getting my hand slapped hahaha
Yeah it took me a while to get the hang of it I was mostly afraid of getting my hand beat up from being slapped
Now you're the one doing the slapping it sounds like!
Haha yep! I tried teaching my little brothers and they just ended up losing on purpose so they could slap each other
That's little brothers for you! I have two younger brothers and they're always beating on each other How many brothers do you have?
I have 3 younger brothers, they're all in elementary school, so I can definitely provide evidence for little brothers beating each other up instead of playing
My brothers are in high school...it never ends They're like lion cubs that wrestle for fun
So how many siblings in total do you have? Accurate
I'm the oldest of four, I have those Teo brothers and then a younger sister in middle school What about you?
I'm the oldest of 6, so there are 3 girls and then 3 boys
Wow! That's a lot! Also, oldest for the win!!
Right! Go junior moms, honestly
Truth. I feel like I learned how to change a diaper at like age 8
Also a lot of my friends are freaking out over having to share a room with someone/do their own laundry/get up Meanwhile I'm just ready to only have to get myself ready for school in the morning I haven't had to change a diaper in a while for my family, but when I was babysitting a week or so ago those skills came in handy
Yes! Haha I've been sharing a room my whole life so when I got a roommate at BYU it was a beeeze Yep it never ends
Every time my mom goes on facebook she shows me the parenting memes because I can relate to all of them
I love it haha
Are you the mom of the friend group?
For sure! Definitely the one with band aids, extra water, phone at 100, giving rides
Oh my gosh dead @ the phone
Everything you can think of Gotta be ready to call 911
I'm also the person with a million pens/highlighters in class
Same!! Gotta stay organized
So what year are you?
I just finished my freshman year at BYU. What about you?
Got any advice for an incoming freshman?
Talk to everybody! Most people at BYU are really nice and friendlu I made a ton of friends last year just by talking to random people in my classes and ward
Haha I could tell that from the chat this past week!
Has it been good? This is the first time I've been on in ages haha
Well I've got AP exams going on right now, so getting to talk with some nice people about what would happen if pigs could fly has been a great way to relax
Oh for sure! AP exams are the worst. Are you almost done at least?
I'm halfway there - this week I had literature and government And then next week I've got biology, calculus AB, and macroeconomics
Woo! Halfway there! (livin' on a prayer) Yikes! Good luck!
Bon Jovi forever I love 80's music Nothing quite like "take on me" to get you pumped
Same! I grew up listening to it It's like a part of me now And Take on Me is legendary
When I was little, I didn't realize that Queen and U2 weren't current artists (my mom and dad's favorite bands) So I went into kindergarten thinking that Freddie Mercury was still alive....
Hahaha
Realizing that 80s music wasn't current pop was a wakeup call for me
What an unpleasant surprise.. Is 80s your favorite music genre?
Well now I listen to some alternative, pop, latino, basically anything The only genre I dislike is country, which makes me a bad Texan I guess
Hahaha I'm not a fan of country either
I just never got the appeal of weird whiny accents and lots of the same guitar chord pattern
I just can't get over the accents haha Some of them are so strong!
I'm a little afraid that I'll go up to Utah and everyone will immediately be able to point out "that's a Texas" once I talk
Although there are a few country songs I like. Have you heard Easy Come, Easy Go by George Strait? Probably not
Because I don't think that I have an accent, but maybe it's just because I've never moved anywhere else
If they do you won't be alone though, there are tons of different accents on campus
No I haven't heard that song. Actually, I'm fine with some Johnny Cash
I feel like te different American regional accents are getting less obviosu
Yeah for sure my grandpa said that television has pretty much eliminated major differences
I'll have to check him out! Yeah and just mixing/travel
Johnny Cash is old music I think
Yeah I've heard of him but I don't know his songs
Sorry side note - we're watching Shrek in English and this guy behind me is laughing hysterically at every little moment
Hahaha I can't believe that movie is such a meme Did you hear there's another one coming out soon?
WHAT Oh dear
I think in 2019 Right
When I was little I loved the first one, but I vaguely remember the 50 sequels
I don't think I saw any of them until I was in high school I somehow managed to escape But now...
Eddie Murphy as donkey is funnier than I remember Also yes there are so many memes how can the internet contain itself
Yeah Donkey is both the best and worst part of those movies somehow
That's extraordinarily accurate Aw now they're getting married
Aww l'amour
Oh darn, "now I'm a believer" is going to be in my head for the rest of the day Thanks dreamworkds *dreamworks
Unpopular opinion, I actually like the soundtrack in its own right
