Hermit Blogger Breaks the Silence with Her First Post in a Year: Faith in Humanity Restored


The last post I made was June 2013. You can see that consistency is not one of my strong points. However, I am back, in black, and your life has officially become more enlightened (you’re welcome).

If you look at my blogger account, you will see that I have 6 rough drafts for blog posts. So, it’s not like I haven’t been wanting to write- I just never did. I’m the worst! So I’m really excited for the summer because it should give me more time to write. And maybe if I tell you about what I want to write about, I might actually follow through. Because once you post something on the internet….THERE’S NO GOING BACK.

Please enjoy a quick dance break to this song.


But enough of Katy Perry. So this is like blog posts within a blog post. Here are 4 things you should expect from me this summer:

11. A Non-Mormon’s Survival Guide to BYU. So, I finished my freshman year at BYU last month. THE MORMON SCHOOL. I’m not going to lie and tell you it’s a normal place- because it isn’t. BYU has a very unique culture, and without the right insights and tips, it can be a little much. And you should definitely visit BYU if you have the chance. After all, it IS home to the smartest and sexiest student body.
Maybe I should write a blog post on being photogenic. Obviously one of my best characteristics. 




22.  SUBWAY: BEHIND THE SCENES. This is a working title (you kind of see us making the sandwich, so it isn’t really behind the scenes). Like my favorite blogger, Kristen, I too had the opportunity to work at America’s beloved sandwich shop last semester at BYU. I told myself I would never work at Subway- but when you’re poor, there isn’t really space for pride. Actually, there’s always space. I can pride myself in saying that I worked at the Busiest Subway in the World- located at the heart of BYU’s Student Center. #eatfresh

23. DOOR TO DOOR. I also told myself I would never do door-to-door sales. (As I pompous, purple-panted, shaggy-haired adolescent once said-never say never). I will be spending my summer in Wilmington, Delaware, selling door to door. And don’t worry, it’s a lot harder than it looks. More to come on that.
I couldn't ask for a sexier uniform. 



4. Discovering Delaware and Other Destinations. So, for a week last summer, I turned my blog into a travel blog while in Charleston. One of the great things about Delaware (I never knew those words would be used in the same sentence) is that every where you’d want to go to on the East Coast is within a 2 hour drive: Washington D.C., NYC, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, etc. So, I’ll be sharing some of my experiences as I explore more as well as uncover some of the mysteries of Delaware (because Delaware is so mysterious). 

So this was a nice experiment. Hopefully, I follow through.

Marriage, Tornadoes, Chocolate, and Other Buzzwords

I’m surprised Child Protective Services hasn’t taken custody of my blog yet, given how much I neglect it. But you know what they say, absent parents make for interesting adults. (Wow, that was kind of dark.) Let’s lighten things up. I got married last month! Some of you already know this, but to others, this is breaking news. I think it’s because Facebook didn’t say I was married until a few days ago. And if it’s not on Facebook, it never happened. Existential social media discussions aside, this post is a comprehensive update of my life today. You’ll get the inside scoop on my current whereabouts, my favorite podcasts, desired pastimes–everything you need to know to hack my passwords. I know, I know, that’s what journals are for. But most days I can barely read my own handwriting. And if I want my post-cursive posterity to know me in this Year of the Dog, I must leave an online record. GRANESSABAMA Granessabama is the name of this new chapter in my life and pot...

Journey to the Center of the....Arab World: All the Stuff You Gosta Know about My Study Abroad to Jordan

"I'm going to Jordan in the fall."  This is a statement that is much too familiar to my tongue. Who knew such a simple phrase unleashed the most monotonous can of worms, the dreariest of Pandora's boxes!  Each time I say I'm going to Jordan, people want to know all the whos, whats, whens, whys (whies?), and hows. It's like Freshman Orientation weekend all over again: "Where are you from?" "What's your major?" "Where do you live?" "Who do you have for [insert class]?" "Hey, you're awesome. Can I have your number?"* *this never happened.                But really, every time I tell someone I'm going to Jordan for a study abroad I want to bang my head against a wall repetitively . Now don't get me wrong! I love your curiosity and who doesn't like talking about themselves!? But I've had to relay the same scraps of information 40 times. Ain't nobody got ...

Help Wanted

When you think about what it would like to be rich, REALLY rich, you probably think about rolling out in your new Maserati or turning a guest room into a second closet, OR even the fact that you could literally roll around in dollar bills- $100 DOLLAR BILLS. While this is all fine and good and sufficiently over-the-top, what I want the most is an assistant. (Let's face it, you're usually making bank if you have an assistant.) Now, why do I need an assistant? Why do I want one? My reasons shall be revealed.    (Speaking of Maserati,  that's part of the title of one of my sister's songs. Check it out.) https://soundcloud.com/alyce-marie/maserati-body-alyce-marie-ft  1. I'm bad with breakfast. I like eating, I really do. But during the school year, I rarely eat breakfast...or lunch. At night, I'm too tired to prepare a lunch. In the morning, I usually wake up 15 minutes before I leave for school/seminary, so...still no time. I just want an assistant to ...
