only in cougar town

now that i'm back at school, i have fully been immersed in cougar town.
it's funny, i've basically lived in utah valley my entire life, but there is something about BYU that is unlike everything else.
yet, i feel so grateful that i'm here, at this beloved university.
it truly is my dream college; i've bled blue my whole life



only at BYU:

+ will 2 white guys bust out a conversation in a completely different language.

+ will the majority of your classmates have their left ring finger occupied.

+ do people make comments in every class, not just religion, starting with, "on my mission..."

+ are men walking around in a shirt and tie.

+ will you hear babies crying in the back of your lecture hall.

+ and.. there is a baby changing area in every women's restroom

+ is there a piano in every class

+ will you see people praying before they step into the testing center.

+ do you see more hand holding, and spooning on the grass when the weather permits

+ do people freak out when there is a can of coke zero available in a vending machine in the Bramhall building.

but honestly, not everything is goofy -- only at BYU:

+ do you pray and sing a hymn before class

+ do you walk out of a humanities or physical science class full of the spirit

+ will people just smile at you as you walk by

+ is the temple is PACKED all day, everyday. even at 6 in the morning.

+ is there a devotional once a week where the entire campus shuts down.

+ will guys hold open the door for you, even if you are far behind them.

+ do you spend the first 10-15 minutes before class on the days after conference discussing things that stood out to you.


I love this place & I am so grateful I can call myself a cougar. 
a BYU cougar that is.
