Looking at the photos reminded me of all the friends from all over Utah that I will probably never ever see again ( I am such an optimist....)
Who wants to sleep when you could be talking about cute boys, hear embarrassing stories, and play mafia into the wee hours of the morning.
My favorite day was when the Governor came to talk to us and after that a police detective showed us how they solved a murder mystery case.
It was like a an episode of Monk brought to life!
I made so many friends that I will never be able to forget.
Check out the pictures below.
For those of you who are not familiar with Utah Girls State, it is a week long program held down at SUU for girls (the summer before there senior year) interested in government and making a difference in the future of America.
I have always been heavily interested in politics and the political structure of our government.
Going to girls state was like a total dream come true!
We basically mimicked the states governmental system by running for city, county, and state offices.
Each city was named after a previous governor of Utah.
I belonged to Blood city, and was elected as a State representative.
We learned how to write and pass fantazmaglorious bills to benefit our' fellow girls state chicas.
All day we would act like politicians and attend various meetings.
It was a tight schedule and a usual day looked like this.
Wake up at 6:30
Attempt to get ready (We had to wear skirts and dresses every day.)
Fight over the bathroom (Who ever decided to have 8 girls share one bath room was koo-koo!)
Run like a mad women across campus to breakfast so you could have some time to enjoy it before an early morning meeting at 7:30.
Devotional with all cities at 8:00 in the great hall. (It looked like the Harry Potter feast hall.)
Meetings with County/City until lunch
12:00ish was lunch time
Stuff some type of food down your gullet.
1:00 Meetings resume until dinner.
6:00 Dinner (I wanted a nap five hours ago)
More meetings until 8:00
8:30 City Meetings
9:30 Go to your rooms and fight over who gets to take a shower.
After that they expect us to go to bed.
But you know what?
No matter how tiered I was an hour ago, when you put a bunch of girls in one area it is impossible to do anything but talk!
Who wants to sleep when you could be talking about cute boys, hear embarrassing stories, and play mafia into the wee hours of the morning.
It was fantazmagical!
