I don't know about the rest of you, although...I don't think anyone will read this except for myself, but I love school. Whether it was Elementary, Jr. High, High School or College.....I loved school. Sure it had its moments, specially in College where you just asked yourself (at least I asked myself)...why, why you darn finals/test/professors/whatever! Why ?
I do have to say tho' that my favorite part of my education was College. Just being on my own
and living with people that I might not have been friends with necessarily in High school was awesome! Of course you always have that awkward moment at first, but usually that didn't last that long. Sadly for some, there were always roommates that you didn't exactly bond with, the ones that you couldn't relate. Or sometimes in my case, roommates that were from a different country and they were only there for a semester or so...so you didn't really have time to bond to the max.
For me....these are the things that made my life at USU the best years.
1. Friends
I have been told that you can never have too many friends, and to some degree I completely agree. Especially the good ones. Good friends are there for you for the bad and for the good. W
hen you are away from home your friends almost become your family. I mean of course they will never be able to replace your family, but when they are away..or more like you are away from them, friends are there to boost your spirits and let you know that you can do it. I have had many fun "adventures"...a lot that I probably don't remember thanks to my bad memory, or experiences thanks to friends. A lot of the time I'm sure I was the one that would seem like the crazy one, which happened a lot! But darn it! I loved it. Sometimes sadly you loose contact with some of them, but it doesn't matter (well it does matter), they were there to help you open up and be more you. The person that is willing to take chances and ask a guy out, a person that can stay up and write a paper/prepare for a test while playing a game/talking with friends; someone that you can be yourself with and they can be themselves with you. Friendship is beautiful....and I have made the best friends that anyone can have. I really believe that your college friends are for life
2. 14th Ward
OOh the 14th Ward. There has never been a ward that I have felt more close to than the 14th ward. I belonged there, I was part of that community. Everyone cared for everyone, was there for them and tried to be everyo
nes friend. It was all about love....and cute guys, some. At least that was how it was the first 3 years....the 4th year...not so much, it was different people...just a different atmosphere. Or maybe it was me. I mean many of the members were freshmen, just out of high school and well different. I grew up, I didn't belong with them. And sadly the boundaries changed. I shake my fist at the changing of the boundaries, I mean all of my good friends left. They weren't part of the ward anymore and sad day, they were not there. All in all I love that ward, I loved the Bishopric. They were so loving, like a father/mother and friend....they were like us. They acted our age they talked to us, played with us and worshiped with us. It was awesome. I have not loved a Relief Society like I have loved this Relief Society. Hopefully one day I will love my current one that way. I feel that I got closer to God there than any other place.
3. Midnight run to Betos
Betos went hand and hand with all nighters and "adventures" with friends...almost. The bad/good? of living in a small town is that you don't have many options. And the options that you do have a lot of the times have "curfews". But oh man, Betos was there 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. Sadly now its not Betos anymore its something like Racherita...or something. When you were hungry or you were preparing for an all nighter, there it was...ready to take your money and give you food.
4. DATING!!!!
I love dating, nothing serious of course...but I love to go on dates. More than anything I love gentlemen. Sure I'm an independent woman, but I love it when they (guys) open the door for me! It just makes me feel that I am
a lady. Anyway, I never really dated at all in High School went on like 5 dates in total....I was different that's for sure. Although I have never been in a serious relationship, any relationship really, dates are fun. I love getting ready for it, whether it was preparing it...or just dressing for it, I loved it. I don't understand people that don't like to date, its just exciting. The ones that I really don't get are the ones that think that dates are serious that asking a guy or a girl out means that you are almost in a relationship about to get married. Pull yourself together guys!! It's the 21st century! You can date without marrying. Although it does seem that everyone is getting married around you...man I swear there are like only a handful of my good friends that are still single/not-getting-married-soon. That bites....it bites dust...ha.

In the beginning of the year they have you sign a paper saying that you wouldn't lick the walls, mostly because of the time that the building was built and the led that the paint probably contained. And let me tell you that those walls needed a good paint job. It was sad really...but it was home. It was the place where you can tell your friend your dreams and fantasies, your hopes and crushes, heartbreaks and successes. It was overall home. I have many memories there, having water fights, dying jobs, date activites, many fire alarms going off because someone burned something (luckly it was never me), working, T.P.ing someones apt/room for their birthday or waking up at 4 in the morning to surprise our neighbors for valentines day to "decorate" their apt; because of those things and many more...I love that complex, even its not-so-lickable walls.
I am sure that I will go more into details on other "blogs" I'm sure, but overall it was awesome. You know how they say (they, meaning...t.v., friends or any adult really) that part of growing up is finding yourself? Well I think I have really found myself there. I mean I thought I knew myself, which I guess I had to if it was me, but I really got to know what I was all about.
