And yes, these favorite things at the moment may not be “hipster,” but that doesn’t mean I still can’t like them. \u00a0And some of these may be dumb and slightly cliche and slightly out of character for me. \u00a0Still doesn’t mean I can’t like them.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know.”<\/a><\/span>
This may be the top song on iTunes and on the radio and on the charts, and it should be. \u00a0Why do I like it? It’s so different. \u00a0The lyrics, while confusing, are pretty much awesome. <\/p>\n

While I’m not quite a fan of the song, the lyrics from the song “Titanium” are catchy and sort of empowering(?) I’m bulletproof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away.<\/span> <\/i>\u00a0Why I like these, I don’t know. \u00a0Fire away at me? I’m not sure.<\/p>\n

Phillip Phillips.<\/span>
Especially two of his songs: “Home”<\/a> and “We’ve Got Tonight.”<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course, I still don’t go a day without listening to Adele’s “Someone Like You.”<\/a><\/span> \u00a0But don’t worry, I’m bulletproof \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Now on from music.
Downton Abbey.<\/span> \u00a0Oh my goodness. \u00a0I love it. \u00a0I’ve re-watched two scenes over and over again. \u00a0Guess which ones?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

My job.<\/span> \u00a0Yes, I love my job<\/a>. \u00a0I love talking to parents and students on the phone explaining the ins and outs of BYU’s online system. \u00a0Yes, BYU has one of the most complicated websites out of all university websites in the United States. \u00a0But really, I do love my job. \u00a0I feel like I’m making a difference – I’m really helping people.<\/p>\n

Spinning.<\/span> \u00a0I’m in a spinning class, and while it’s extremely difficult, it’s really fun and kind of addicting.<\/p>\n

Italy. <\/span>Don’t even get me started. \u00a0I WILL go to Italy. \u00a0I will visit everywhere and eat all of the delicious foods and see all of the historical sights and visit the Italian countryside and a cute little shop overlooking the sea. \u00a0Voglio viaggiare. \u00a0 Devo viaggiare. \u00a0Devo viaggiare in Italia. \u00a0<\/i>

<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/i>

<\/i>
Maps.<\/span> \u00a0I like looking at maps and dreaming about going different places.<\/a>
My pink\/coral pants. <\/span>These are some of the most comfortable pants that I own. \u00a0Nevermind the color. \u00a0They are comfortable. \u00a0I know I wear them every day, but they are comfortable. \u00a0Don’t judge \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Little things in life can make me happy. \u00a0Like an old map, a dream of traveling Europe, and a catchy song. \u00a0 Oh, and Downton Abbey \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
