Honestly I did. Today I learned that running, maintaining, and writing on a blog is a ton harder than it is. Non withstanding the fact I have the attention span that could probably break the Guinness World Record for shortest span ever, but the fact then when you're at the blog and the little cursor line is blinking, it's honestly hard to write.
But that's a secondary fact. Today I REALLY learned, That the 3 Musketeers candy bar, actually used to be THREE. DIFFERENT. FLAVORS. WHAT.
No seriously, they had vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. Talk about metropolitan in your mouth. Now I need a time machine to try this out. For seriousness.

Learn more Stuff
Statistics. One word. This one word has probably elicited more emotions out of me in the past 3 weeks than any of my live events or the past 20 years or so. Today I learned that stats needs to go jump in a lava pit. Stratification, Two proportion z-integer testing, I feel as though learning it isn't worthy of a real today I learned. So today, learn something really neat-o.
Did you know, Red heads are actually feel less electrical pain, but actually are susceptible to thermal energy? So they burn more easily, but they can't be shocked as much. Cool story huh?

Laugh! It's only FINALS.
Today I learned something that I totally didn't expect to learn. Actually two things. The best ways to relieve stress, (And believe it or not, this week is stress central), is to one, Laugh, and two, stretch.
The second one I can kind of see, because you're stretching and moving muscle joints and redistributing growing stress weights on your body, but actually trying it, works WONDERS. you don't believe me? Do what I did, find an abandoned corner of the ELC, stretch everywhere till you cannot stretch anymore, (Bonus points for hopefully not being seen stretching in weird positions), and you'll feel marvelous. Trust me. It's a thing.
But the second one? laughing? during finals? Sounds impossible right? Apparently not. I've been so stressed I haven't laughed in about 20 eons. So I'll test this one out, and I'll let you all know what happens, you dear 19 people. So maybe try this terribly terrible joke to help you maybe destress your life.
I named my Ipod Titanic.
It's sync-ing.

Springtime, in Finland?
So today I learned about SUU's study abroad. What a crazy cool idea! Too bad all of my majors get sent off to some of the more inhospitable locations in the world, including Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland! Sometimes I love being a communications major, sometimes it just...leaves me in the cold. Haha. Ha.
But seriously, It costs the same as regular expensive SUU tuition, but traveling to Europe seems to be pretty cheap considering how expensive it could be. Let's make an educational Pro/Con list.
Pros:
-I go to Europe
-I learn lots of communication
-I go to Finland or Sweden
-I learn lots of communications far away!
-It's in English
Cons:
-Cold
-Cold
-Food is expensive
-Might run out of money
-So Cold.
-Senior status
So far, the cons are outweighing the pro's. But who knows Maybe someday I'll think on it and actually go through and do it.

Science Words
Hey, person reading this blog. What day is it today? April 17th? yeah, you're right.
Today, and mostly yesterday, I learned the phenomenon of of weather-wind cold draft zones. It's where a certain geographical location that is the pit-end of Utah, is at a certain elevation and location, that different weather currents and conditioins collide and create unprecedented weather conditions in a small geographical area that makes it almost impossible to predict actual weather conditions because every doppler radar that tries to make an accurate reading of the weather gets fooled, shamed, and is almost never right.
AKA: Weather in Cedar City is crazy .

Today I learn Edition: Myself and Mountains
Not to make a complainy complain post. But this week. Has been . WhatTheCrapIt'sNotPossible.
It's more like, I am a walking deconstructor. If you want something broken, destroyed, or something to completely make sure it losses functionality at any point, give it to me. I am the eventual bane of any technology.
That's what I learned today, ALSO, I learned that Utah IS WHACK. Snow in the middle of April? Is that a thing? I know it's a thing because it's Cedar City and I shouldn't be surprised but any such ridiculous shows of weather. But man, I don't like being cold.
ALSO: Today I learned that even though you ask Apple to email your forgotten password, they wont. Wahoo.
ALSO ALSO: Today I learned also that certain mobile carrier plans actually have a 3G wireless coverage on Mount Everest, just so you can tweet that you're at the top.

Making Friends
It's day 21, and blimey, it's been a crazy ol' time. I've right well blended into the herd. They don't know it, but I'm pretty sure I've become one with their pack. In other words, I've entered the wild into a new group of bros, and learning the already in-place innate customs and traditions of the group is pretty crazy. It's literally like a whole new world, but then the more I learn, the better off I am...right?
But here are some new things that I totally learned over the course of this 17-day infiltration of the "Bro-Wild"
But here are some new things that I totally learned over the course of this 17-day infiltration of the "Bro-Wild"
- Never offer anyone chocolate. Ever.
- League of Legends is a thing.
- Cowboys didn't exist.
- I'm a lot shorter than I thought I was
- Ramen is not the go-to food for parties.
- Eggo Waffles are also SUPER-ADDICTING

A confession of epic, day-shattering proportions
Today I learned something momentous, something That I've known for a little while now, but something I never really wanted to act on until now. It's a part of me I never wanted to face, nor did I need to face it until quite recently. I know it's a little bit of a public taboo, but honestly at this point, I could care little for the condemnations of others.
I'm admitting it, I recently started playing Dungeons and Dragons.
I know, it's a crazy thing to say, but I am officially hooked. I love the roleplaying, how you can do anything and use thye most out-of-the-box thinking to solve a problem. Engaging in battles, all hinging on the ever-changing fates set by the roll of a die. It's crazy intense. And as I'm learning, D&D Is like, ancient. Try 50 years old and counting. Right now, my dude that I created is a monk, which AKA, is freakin' Ninja. I probably get way more enjoyment out of this game than I probably should, so I'm adding it to the guilty pleasures list.
Which also includes:

Jobs I didn't expect people to make money in. Plus Humor
Today I learned something of crazy significance today! Even more than not putting any electronic equipment into a bathtub, or there are certain things you NEVER say to a girl when she asks you about her choice of clothing.
I learned that people get paid lots of bucks, to play video games.
MIND BLOWN. You think I'm kidding. It's apparently called MLG. Major League Gaming. And people play and they get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for it.
Now, as a player of video games myself, I can officially endorse this as a, "What the fuh WHY." Sort of thing.
Playing video games professionally, is like saying you was in the Olympic's Curling team. Seriously.
Just a quick bit for today.So I'll reward the two people reading this with a joke.
A Skeleton walks into a bar. He orders a drink and a mop.

In this post, I'd like to use something new I learned to to describe how much I feel emotionally about snow, in Haiku form.
I really dislike snow.
It needs to just melt away
Cold and wet never mix.
Seriously. I even compiled a list
-I can't wear shorts, or summer wear
-I can't do my stairs training/workout
-No longboarding!
-People are crabby in winter
-Taking my hour long trek to Walmart for food, is not so fun when in a blizzard
-I love dry heat. For real.
-Being cold is LAME.
-I don't have a snowboard.
-Ice Cream and Jamba Juice is feasible to get in summer.
That's just a sample. Winter needs to end. Today. Please oh please today. Fosho.

Need a great Core workout? Read on!
Recently, I found that my core isn't what it needs to be. There is a severe lackage of a pack of six muscles, and it wasn't as rock hard like steel. Crunches take forever, and whatever else used to physically train your abs just takes forever and ever for waaaaaaaay too much work.
Luckily for me, I discovered Youtube, and my entire workout changed. Now I can simply just watch
Youtube videos, and I get all the ab work I need. Just watch this video, you'll see what I mean.
http://youtu.be/t5lFFvOAdsA
Feel that clenching feeling inside? It's the result from both second-hand shame, and how you are helpless to save this poor fellow from himself. This feeling is called "Cringe", and it's the newest thing I've discovered in life.
Cringe: Verb
1-To shrink or flinch, esp in fear, servility, or shame
Noun
1-The Act of cringing, to see others in the act of shame.
There are other bad videos that exhibit this feeling, Links posted below. If anything else, take into solace the fact that you may have had an embarrassing moment, it's not as bad as this.

What a Cheesy Title
I should post more. What a cheesy intro!
I mean, it's just so cheesy that my title uses a cheesy pun that has to do with my cheesy blog with a cheesy blog-post that is writing about cheese. Seriously. Cheese.
There are over 100 bazillion different kinds of cheese. Yellow cheese, white cheese, blue cheese, smelly cheese, pretentious imported cheese from the goat-cow hybrid offspring that you captured with the help of a unicorn and the Lochness Monster.
With all the different kinds of cheeses, in my past, I've tasted exactly TWO kinds. DOSE. 2.
-Chedder
-Mozzarella
Come this weekend, my friends forced me to buy a sample cheese platter, and it was sure was magical. I was so happy, I made the cheesiest faces of joy. And they took pictures of my cheesy smiles of pure joy as I consumed more than my fair share of different things, it was like candyland, except, it tasted like cheeseland.
A week ago, I tasted:
-Pepperjack
-Provelone
-Swiss
-Colby-Jack, (I think)
It was literally a whole new world. A cheesy world.
And I think that's the end of all my my super-cheesy puns. Just thought I would post about totally-cliche cheesy cheese eating experience.
BONUS POINTS! How many cheese puns did I make?
ANSWER: Too many.

A long long time ago in a town far far away, there lived a young man. Not so old, but still too young, he was beginning an adventure on his own. After an arduous quest for social survival among the dying vestiges of land and hope that was his old home, he journeyed several miles away to a town filled with quaint and smallness, called Cedar City.
No seriously. I just got out and literally I know nothing about the world, it's like one giant education in life, pop culture, love, and so much stuff you could call it brain meltingly bad. For example:
So you wanna read about my redonkulous adventures? Want to laugh at the comedy of my life? Want to secretly make fun jokes about me when I don't know as you read all the stuff I haven't done? Do you just like reading and have spare time? Are you reading this because it's required for a certain class which also requires me to put out incriminating information about myself as well?
Then read my blog. Read it. All the time. Every day. You know you want to. Do it.
Serious business happening here.

- I know of only three kinds of cheeses
- I know only two Beatles
- My music selection knowledge before 2004 entails of Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, and Queen
- Talking to girls is literally a different language.
- The amount of cuisine I've tasted past a PB&J is very limited.
- Never played any musical instrument
- I've been to three states only
- Never had a first love
- I act so white I could blend in with a snowstorm
- Plus fifty more I can't remember off the top of my head.
