A Message to Hannah Hart

Dear Hannah Hart,

Hi! I am Morgan, a fifteen year old girl who loves your videos! I have been watching your youtube videos for a good two years now and all I can say is you are the most punderful person I have ever seen (see what I did there). I have decided to write to you because you own a humor filled youtube channel that I love. I look up to you a lot. Since you probably haven't read my blog let me fill you in. I'm writing this blog for my English class. This blog, as confuse as it may be, is about sharing my life. I like to share my experiences and hopefully humor. I feel as though this is what your youtube channel is about. You share your drunk and sober wisdom with the world in a humorous way.

Hannah being an amazing person.

Now I know some people may say that it is inappropriate for someone my age to be watching videos where someone gets drunk and then tries to cook. But you do a lot more than that. I cannot watch one of your videos without laughing out loud. You make the best puns and give the best advice. And recently you started doing this thing called Have A Hart Day. You volunteer with other people and have been giving your time to help so many people. Not only have you been physically going out and helping people. You have also helped so many people with your advice. Your videos inspire and help so many people. You spread the message of how important it is to be yourself. You let people know that they are good enough and that they don't need to change.

Along with doing all these amazing things you also have a huge presence in the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transgender, and Queer)  community. So many people of all ages look up to you for this I being one of them. I am not personally gay or bi, but my sister is. It means a lot to me that there are people out there like you who spread the message of gay being okay. You just being out and open about your sexuality helps so many people and gives hope to people out there.

Hannah Hart you are such an amazing person who has accomplished so much. You have your own book, you have starred in a movie, and you have met the president. These big feats cannot measure how amazing you are because there is so much more. I look up to you in so many ways and am so happy I found you on youtube. Never stop making videos or spreading your humor. And I hope you now that I and many others considered you the QUEEN OF PUNS! If you are reading this thank you so much! I hope that my blog would make you laugh like you make me laugh. I tried to be just as punny as you are. Until next time!

I May Be Dead After All

As some of you may also be experiencing it, the last week of the Semester at TMJH was this week. Last year finals were okay and first quarter this year was hard, but I can officially say I'm truly scarred by my first High School semester final. This week has been dreadful.

I decided to dedicate my whole weekend to studying. I have a whole notebook that I use for studying and I have probably used half of it within this past week. Normally I'm not one for studying, but I'm trying really hard to keep my grades up and do well on tests. So I studied for math, english, and science the whole weekend. I wanted to go into the last week of the semester prepared and ready.

This whole week.

I had a total of eight different test and quizzes this week. Then, two performance reviews for Drama and this blog assignment. Not to mention I had to do something everyday after school. Plus at least twenty panic attacks and one full on mental breakdown. To say I have been stressed out would be and understatement. Every night I would come home and go straight to my desk. My parents understood I was studying and tried to lighten my load of chores to make it easier. Several nights I ended up eating dinner at my desk just so I could finish everything. I was up till ten almost every night and there was even one day when I had to get up early to finish my homework. The hardest part about this week was that I went in prepared and still almost died of stress. I know it is only my Freshman year and I can't even start imagine how much harder finals are going to be in the rest of High School. (TERRIFYING)

I have learned a lot from this week. Not only have I learned that High School is hard, but I have also learned that it is possible. As many test as you take and as hard as teachers are, it is still possible. Just eat well, and get as much sleep as possible. And as hard as it may seem it is better to go to bed early, then get up early and finish your homework. Also studying isn't as hard as it seems just take advantage of the resources available to you. Using flash cards, highlighters, Quizlet and reviewing old notes can help you so much. Remember never give up and you can do it!

Luckily the week is over and I am wrapping up on all my homework and have no more test. I can gladly say as nightmarish as it was I finished finals without failing any tests. Doing that was almost impossible and I may be dead after all. Good thing we get a four day weekend so I can recuperate and start third quarter well rested. How was the end of your semester? I hope it wasn't too bad! Enjoy your long weekend. Until next time!

OCD?...No. I Just Like Things Clean!

Most teenagers are slobs. They never make their beds and leave clothing on the floor. I used to be like this, but now I can't stand those two things. Just writing that made me cringe. I know their are some people out there like me who just can't stand things being a mess, but the reality is teenagers are messy. So this post may not be relatable at all. And to all those people like me who can't leave their room a mess I welcome you!

Everyday.

Let me just say I am not a germaphobe. I am okay with leaving certain things out on the counter or my desk. But there is a limit. For example in my shared bathroom I have a toothbrush container on my side of the sink along with my daily vitamins. On my sisters side of the sink she keeps her jewelry box out. I can handle these things because its not too much and if you keep it organized it looks fine. But when you leave your toothpaste or blowdryer out that's not okay. I personally think I am this neat because I want everything to look nice and stay organized. Maybe that's just me though...

Anyway! One of the worst things about being this is way is my sister. We are polar opposites. Not just in looks, but personalities as well. I hate procrastination and messy things. Madison says procrastination helps her and can make a room messy by just walking into it. Don't get me wrong I love her dearly but she drives me crazy! She is the messiest person alive. You can always tell when she did the dishes because she leaves all the cabinets open. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE! I don't understand. And to say are personalities are conflicting would be an understatement. Everyday I have to ask her to pick up her underwear from the bathroom floor or put away something of hers in our bathroom. I have a tendency to snap at her and her response is typically "Morgan you seriously have OCD or something." Like what? OCD? No. I just like things clean and neat. 

Thank you for listening to me rant. And trust me there was a time when I was a slob. I understand that it is easier to just leave stuff on the floor. But if you live with a person like me just know that they would really appreciate it if you tried to pick that stuff up. And if you are like me as hard as it is try not to be too hard on the messy people in this world. Until next time!

Crazy New Years Adventure (2016)

It's the first day of 2016! Ahh this is just so crazy. I spent my New Year the best way possible...with friends! I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the holiday and if weren't for them I probably would've stayed home and watched the Arrow. Which still might not of been the worst way to end the year now that I think about it. But this is the first year a friend has invited me to do something, so it was really exciting!

Chloe's ice cream...yes we all got big containers.

First, we all met up to eat pizza. Off to a pretty good start right? Then we all decided even though it is like -10º that we wanted ice cream. I'm not complaining because coffee ice cream is like my new favorite. It's just too good. So after we payed for our food we walked over in the freezing cold to the store to get ice cream. Once we had bought our ice cream my friends Kirsten's dad picked us up. By the way this whole party was her idea, so cheers to you Keblish for forcing me to be social. It was also her idea for us to go night hiking then sled down! (when it's -10º) Her father took us up to this trail. I was hesitant at first because A) its cold as frik out there, B) there are wild animals that could eat us and C) I suck at sledding. We started walking up and this hike is crazy steep and walking on snow didn't make it any easier. The whole time we were hiking I was in the back. What if some creepy wolf or mountain lion came up behind me! So I was constantly turning around making sure nothing was following us. Also I was walking behind my friend Chloe. She didn't bring the best boots so the whole time she was slipping and falling. I was almost nocked over every minute or so.


After about thirty minutes of complaining and sort of hiking (not even half of the full hike) Kirsten finally decided to let us turn around. You have no idea how happy I was that we could go home and eat ice cream. The only problem with this was that we now had to sled down. Earlier I had agreed to sled down on a double sled with my friend Alana. This whole time Alana had been bragging about her New Years resolution being that in 2016 she was going to become a "bad a**". So now that she was this so called bad a** you would think she would be ready to sled down, no. It took us a good ten minutes just to have her sit down in the sled. Finally, we start sledding, but since there was more weight in the front every time we hit a bump we would both slide out of the sled. Every single time
this would happen Alana would get out complain or do some shake that resembled a complaint. After this she would sigh and say "Okay lets go." Remember this is the so called bad a**. It was hilarious. Alana and I got about half way down till we lost our sled. Kirsten and me switched so I got her weird turn/brake sled. I used this for about five minutes then gave up and walked the rest down.

Beautiful winter hikes

It was kind of a crazy adventure for all of us. It was totally unforgettable. Between it being dark, cold and no one else out there we still had tons of fun. I may have so bruises but, that is all just apart of the fun right? Hope you had a wonderful New Years! Until next time<3 :)

Finally it is Thanksgiving!

Another Snoopy Thanksgiving

I have decided not to start this blog with a “Hi” or “Hey there” I feel like I always do, so I am just going to get straight into this post. It is almost Thanksgiving. I am honestly so excited! I can not believe it is almost that time. I feel like just yesterday it was January 1st, 2015. Can you believe it is almost the end of the year?! It has gone by way too fast, but I’m happy to finally be celebrating Thanksgiving. 

It really hit me today that Thanksgiving is only four days away today when my family went shopping for the food. There are so many dishes at Thanksgiving dinner that I can only have on Thanksgiving. (I mean who eats stuffing and cranberry sauce yearly!) But I think only eating these dishes once a year makes them taste better. Waiting a whole year in anticipation makes them taste so much better than if I had had them just last month. There are way to many good dishes on Thanksgiving! I have always wanted to make this one dish and this year my family has finally decided to let me make it! This dish is Pumpkin Crème Brûlée! I am so excited and can not wait to make this. But my absolute favorite dish will always be the candied sweet potatoes. Plus I love waking up and cooking all day. I may not be the best chef, but I love helping make this meal. Spending the whole day in the kitchen with my family will always be my favorite memory growing up. But food is only one part of Thanksgiving. 

Think about it.

It is a day for us to recognize all the wonderful things in our live. There are so many thingsI need to be thankful for. My step father who makes everyday a little bit more funny. My mom, who is honestly the best mother ever. Not only did she give birth to me and decided to keep my annoying little baby butt but, she has tried her very best to push to me to always do my best. She has made me a better person and been a remodel for me. My sister, who I know will always be there for me. No matter how much we fight I still love her. She has also helped me become a better person. And even though I know she will not read this, I love her with all my heart and honestly can say she is a truly amazing beautiful person. I am grateful any of the other amazing people in my life. I am thankful for roof above my head and the food on my plate. I am grateful for being able to flush my toilet paper. Yes I am grateful for this. Costa Rica showed me how much I really love being able to do this. I am grateful for so many things and if I was to list them all then you would never be able to finish this post. I am thankful for all of the big and small things. Thanksgiving is the time that we all get to contemplate these things. So thank you for reading my blog. And this Thanksgiving try to think of ten big and little things you are truly grateful for. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving! Until next time.

My Strange Addiction: Pick Up Lines

Hi there and this is another attempt at a funny post! I am going to speak to you about pick up lines! I have recently fallen in love with the cheesy phrases that males often use to ask out girls. I know, I know these are really bad, dumb, and often annoying. But you can’t help but laugh after you hear them. So I have basically become addicted to pick lines! Yes! You heard it right here. I, Morgan, admit I have a problem with pick up lines! (The first step to getting better is admitting you have a problem.)

Just found this! Freaking love it!

My fascination with pick up lines all started at my last race of the xc season. My friends and I had just finished our race and were standing next to the course cheer on the varsity girls team. When all the sudden these varsity boys from another team run past us. One of them runs past us and asks us “Are you tired? Because you have been running through my mind all day.” My reaction if course was to choke and say ah. Of course right after my friends and I just started laughing! We all couldn’t stop thinking about this pick up line and it all went down hill from there. The whole bus ride home we were looking up pickup lines online. Some were incredible such as “Are you a parking ticket? Because you have fine written all over you.” Some were really quite bad “Are you a fire alarm? Because you are really loud and annoying.” And some were so inappropriate and gross that I would prefer not to share them.  

One day last week I ended up resorting to pick up lines as a form of comedy. We were performing speeches in Drama and our teacher would tell us to tell jokes while she was finishing grading the previous persons speech. Eventually people ran out of jokes. And me being the super awkward and uncomfortable person I am I got up in front of the class and said “Um I don’t know any jokes but I do know some pick up lines.” Then I preceded to tell the entire class some of my best pick up lines. I started out with the running one and then followed with the classic parking ticket and even added my personal favorite “Your lips look lonely, would they like to meet mine?” I don’t know if it was just me, but I thought I was pretty dang funny and I hope the class did too. 

This one is kinda cheesy ;)

So, I decided to take it to the next level. I thought if I was so good at delivering pick up line that maybe I would be amazing at creating them.  I have been trying this for a couple of weeks and I have only come up with a couple. It is a lot harder then I thought it would be and my first was so bad that I’m not even sure if it counts as a pick up line. I was eating an Oreo and I came up with “Let’s make an Oreo. I’ll be the cookie and you’ll be the creme.” Honestly this doesn’t even make sense. This is when I started to notice my problem...I had taken it too far. So I decided to seek help for my problem. (Cue cheesy inspirational music) I am on the right road to curing my addiction of pick up lines. It will be a long hard journey, where I will have to endure lots of pain and tragedy. It will be a time of great hardships and trials. It will be hard, but at least I know I have the support of my family and friends... I...I (sheds tear)...JUST KIDDING! Until next time!

Winter Has Arrived And Means a Lot More Than You Thought!

Why hello there! Recently in Park City it has changed from fall to winter! This means it snowed! YAY!!! I am so excited! Part of me was sad, but at the same time happy. I am sad because summer is over. All the summer fun is over. There are a lot of things about summer I am going to miss, but seasons come and go and I am finally ready for winter! 

Incredibly beautiful Park City during the winter!

Every time I step outside it is like a beautiful dream! The snow covers the grounds and sparkles when the sun hits it. The mountains look as they have been frosted with snow. The trees look like some one has sprinkle powder sugar over them. Every thing is just too gorgeous. It reminds me of all the fun memories and activities of winter! I can’t wait to build snowmen and have snow ball fights with my friends. (Don’t judge. You are never too old for these things!) I am way to excited to go skiing! And finally I can not wait and may even refuse to wait any longer for the holidays! 

Winter holds the most incredible holidays of all time! It is my most favorite time of the year because everything is so happy! There is a holiday every month! November=Thanksgiving. Yes, I consider November winter. Deal with it. I mean there is snow outside isn't there? Well at least in PC there is.

Snoopy Thanksgivings are the best.

December=Christmas. (my all time favorite!!!) January=New Years/my birthday. (My birthday is a holiday…right?) February=Valentines day. Some of these may be minor holidays in the eyes of some but they all remind us of something happy we need to celebrate! These holidays all remind me of what you need to be happy! When I think of Thanksgiving I don’t just think of food and turkey. I think of all the incredible people and things I have in my life that I am so grateful for! When I hear Christmas I don’t just think of presents. I think of my family and how much I love them. New Years isn’t just some lame holiday where people get drunk. It is a day where we all get a clean slate. A day to start over and change our lives for the better. Valentines day may be a small and lonely day for some, but it can remind us of how important love is and to take time to share that love with someone. I believe that you need all of these to be truly happy. Winter isn’t just a time for snow and holidays. It is a time for us to remember what we need in order to reach true happiness. These months, to me, represent gratitude, joyfulness, family, change, and love.

There is so much that winter brings and I can’t believe that the happiest time of the year has arrived. Winter will always remind me of what is really important. I don’t think it is until know that I have realized how much winter means to me. Not only is it a gorgeous all the time or the time in school where we get the most breaks. It is the time where I find myself joyful all the time. 

p.s. There will most likely be more holiday deeper meaning posts to come…hope you enjoy them! :)

Sorry if this post was a bit scattered it just kinda came out! Winter just excites me and I am so happy it is here! Hope you are too! Until next time!
