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! :)

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

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....

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...
