Only at BYU...

...do you see the Tree of Life drawn in sidewalk chalk on the ramp up to campus.

...do you see people in long short and shirts with sleeves in 115-degree weather.

...do you see more hipsters in one day than if you spent a month in California.

...can you walk barefoot without worrying about what kinds of needles you're going to step on.

...does the idea of a crazy dance party involve dubstep and some kind of soda.

...do you get shunned (or handed a razor) at the Testing Center if you have anything more than a 5 o'clock shadow (if you're a dude).

...is it cool to be a Cougar :)

...is it not weird to graduate from undergrad programs at 25.

...is it shocking and yet hilarious when a swear slips out of a professor's mouth.

...is there a distinction between "married" and "single" student housing.

...do they care where you live.

...can talking about kissing in class make people giggle.

...can you have sacrament meeting in the same building you have a class in.

...can your chemistry teacher relate class to the Book of Mormon.

...can someone go on multiple dates in one day and not be called a player (usually).

...are leggings immodest.

...do you have to go off-campus to get something caffeinated.


There are so many unique things about BYU...and I love it here!  I'm so glad for the education I'm getting here, for the lifelong friends I've made, and for all the fun and crazy and awesome experiences I've had and will continue to have until I graduate! :)

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378.

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r

You make me smile

Stanford Larsen:  One of my dearest friends.  Also one of the few people in this world who never let me down...ever.  Every time I think back to memories with him, i can't help but smile.  He has left a smile on my heart forever. Watermelon always makes me smile.  No other explanation needed. My cats make me smile.  They purr and are happy kitties. Snow of course.  Snow snow snow!  Snow angels, snowballs, snowmen, snow forts, snow fights, snow shoveling, snowfall, snow! My family.  They're all my best friends.  I couldn't ask for a better family...ever. Mater.  Cars.  The music in the movie.  Watching the movie over and over again, on rainy or sunny days.  Lots of memories that go with this movie, too. Country.  Country music.  Country dancing.  Country movies.  Nashville.  Country stars.  Cowboys.  One in particular.  All of these things make me smile like I'd never smiled before I found them.  I want to be this! :) Lots of things make me smile.
