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! :)

Fortune Cookies can be profound..

So I was at work last night, at KBYU, and they fed us dinner. Sweet, free food! As a college kid with almost no money to my name, I'll gladly eat food that someone not only pays for, but pays me to eat! I've learned to like a lot of foods this way... I never used to enjoy Chinese food, but now I do. And last night, our food came from Panda Express. Seeing as I've never eaten authentic Chinese food from China, I don't know how "real" this food is, but it's pretty delicious. But that is not the point. The point is, half the fun of eating Chinese food is to read and laugh at the fortune inside the fortune cookie! Especially from Panda Express, where the fortunes are usually pretty lame, silly, or in fact MISfortunes! As I cracked my cookie open last night, my heart was pounding with anticipation... what would I get? Would it change my LIFE?!!? Okay, so I was just curious, and my heart wasn't pounding. :) I read the little slip of paper, and g...

Eu Amo Meloncia!

(NOTE:  Received on 3/30/2010) Hello family! Well, this week I did something different.  I kept a list in my agenda of things to write to y'all about, instead of just writing one on the bus on the way back from the Temple, and it is LONG!  But most of the things are just things to mention, not really to talk about.  So let me start with that! Choir last Tuesday was awesome...I played the piano of course, and the choir sang "Scripture Power".  Remember in primary when we would lift our scriptures up during the chorus?  Yeah, guess what 100 missionaries did during choir!  It was hilarious and so awesome.  We have so much fun here! Soccer here is intense.  Our teacher, Irmão Mendes, has the radio on his cell phone.  One day in class, he pulled it out, turned it on, and we listened for a few seconds to a soccer game.  Long enough to hear "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...
