numero dos.

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

Ok call me crazy but I feel like this is the lamest subject.. EVER! Um "Life as I know it" pretty much explains itself. It's a place for me to put random thoughts, pictures, & adventures from my day to day life. (which does get pretty intense sometimes so stay tuned) ;) Ohh and also it's a line from one of my favorite movies "P.S I Love You." they always say "watch out for that moment.. when life as you know it... ends." (they are referring to something major in your life like love)

Day One.

Day 1:
Introduce + 15 Facts


The Name's MADDY. I'm 18 years old and go to Utah State University. My major right now is dietetics.. but i feel like i might want to be a crime scene investigator instead.. ha. I love to have a good time. Laughing is probably one of my favorite hobbies :) I have the greatest family in the world. There's a lot of them and when we're together it's LOUD and I can guarantee we're havin' a good time. My friends are wonderful also. I love an adventure! I really enjoy most sports and anything that has to do with WATER!! Sometimes I'm a little restless. I like things MY way.

I enjoy getting to know people. Sometimes I can be a bit "single minded to the point of recklessness." I also love a challenge. something to push me and to prove someone else wrong. I love to argue!! or just get into "friendly debates." ha i'm usually right. and if for some CRAZY reason i'm not.. i'm just LouD. it's the next best thing to being right ;) My favorite thing is just to be FREE.I'm not exactly sure where my life will take me.. all i know is that it will be anything but boring.

7. I LIVE for SUMMER. It is my absolute favorite. everything about it. ahh i can't wait!
8. I'm going to travel the world someday.
9. I like doing what no one would expect. I feel like it's good to keep em guessing ;)
10. If I don't do INSANITY everyday, I literally feel so guilty it makes me sick.
