Weekend of a BYU Student.

So, on this wonderful 3 day weekend which we all just finished, I kind of just want to let everyone know what we freshman here at BYU do on our days off. Early Friday night at like 8:30, we were all at the BYU Women's Soccer game (who won by the way!) It was awesome.

Then, we decided to go to a huge dance that was being held in a town about 15 minutes away so we squeezed into a little car and headed up to this dance that had 2,000 people! So much fun even if it was a little hot. It was cool because I got to see a ton of kids from BYU all at the dance together and we all danced the night away out on the dance floor. Then after, of course, we had to get food! So we ate at delicious In'N'Out. When I finally walked back into my room, it was about 3 AM, which wasn't even that late for me ;)

So, Saturday morning I got to sleep in until 10:30 which was awesome. Then I woke up and threw some laundry in (Because I'm a big college kid now and do my laundry Mom!) And went to eat with some friends. Then, we went to the lobby to save our seats for the OPENING GAME OF BYU FOOTBALL! BYU played at Ole Miss and we watched the entire game with 80 other BYU freshman in our lobby. Talk about some energy! It was a great way to watch the game.

After the game a whole group of us went to hang out for the night. Cassidy's older sister Rhonda had invited us over to her apartment for brownies and just to hang out. We decided to go see a movie and were like ok! Let's go to the dollar theatre. So, we head over there and the line is HUGE! Pirates of the Carribean 4 was already sold out. But, I had heard that this movie Apollo 18 was pretty tight! So we all caravan our way over the to regular theatre and sit in the theatre waiting for Apollo 18 to start. Little did we know that by the end of this movie the girls would be screaming, cowering behind their hands, and the guys peeking through cracked fingers and wincing as we watched the reason according to the movie that we had never been back to the moon. If you haven't seen Apollo 18 yet.... I recommend it. It's a pretty dang good movie. After the movie we all just came back to the dorms and went to bed! Even if there were some looks around the dark rooms and some hiding under the blankets going on....

Sunday morning I woke up to go to church at our beautiful church time of 10:30! Not too early and not too late. After, we went to lunch at the Cannon Center and then I came back and took a 3 hour nap. I love naps so much! That evening we just did some scripture studying, meetings with the Bishop, visiting hours where I got to skype with my dear Erin! And then our ward prayer. To top the spiritual Sunday off, I went tunnel singing for the first time last night! 200 kids squeezed into a tunnel all singing hymns together! So powerful and an awesome way to end the night! 

And now our wonderful Labor Day! This morning I got up to hike the Y with my ward, had breakfast after with all of them, and then came back to the room to do some homework. Then out shopping with Ashley, Alex, and Tyler. And now I'm just sitting in my room blogging. And now I'm coming back after my amazing evening of playing Catch Phrase and a new game called Psychiatrist with people from my ward and some amazing friends from both home and summer term. GOSH! I love BYU so much. 

So, typical story of a BYU Freshman, staying out way too late, blasting music, dancing, singing all together, playing games, just chilling and enjoying life. This really is the place to be right now.
