Back at BYU. As per usual, the first week was near perfect. Now, I'm living on caffeine, never enough sleep, and I dream about showing up to class naked or having my professor tell the whole class I failed our recent exam and thus have failed life. #collegelife

While I am learning all sorts of valuable things of scholarly nature, here are some other important life tid-bits, fun facts, and strange things from BYU, a place all of its own.
"BYU is like the movie Titanic: sometimes you fall in love with someone really fast and then it doesn't work out...she lost her love...but you know what? Her heart went on! (cue Celine) She still found love and was happy!"
-Kara-
Granted, I don't think many of us have the issue of the perceived love of our lives, soulmate, and one-and-only drowning in the freezing cold waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, but hey, sometimes a break up, lack of a second date, or the one person you wanted to see your snap story not actually seeing it certainly can feel that way...
In my art history class we were looking at the print The Four Horsemen, From The Apocalypse by Durer. My professor paused mid explanation of the painting, chuckled to himself, then proceeded to tell us how as the world approached the year 2000 and so many were worried about the world ending, his neighbor began raising rabbits so he would have a continuous food supply when the apocalyptic end began. Smart? Yes. Strange? Much yes.
If BYU loses to Utah, do not even think about or acknowledge the fact that it happened, let alone mention it in your finance class. It is highly looked down upon and you will receive many a jabs and scrutiny from your professor, classmates, tech support, and probably even the germs in that class. Just. Don't. Do. It.
Boys: if a girl cannot go on a date with you several times in a row, it does NOT mean she belongs on the @provogirlsamIright Instagram account. It honestly could be that she is busy and has plans. This should be a good thing. She is doing something with her life instead of sitting around waiting for you to ask her out again.
If you walk by or near Swig several times a day, do not bring your wallet with you. You think you are strong, that you can practice self-control, that you will stay loyal to Fiiz, but you are wrong. Sometimes, you are wrong each time you pass it in one day. Again, just. Don't. Do. It.
If you ask your roommate is he/she has an 8 a.m. class at 7:40 and they say "sort of," this means yes, they do have the class, but no, they will not be attending.

And with that we can end our current session of "Things I've Learned at BYU: Back to School Edition." Thanks for tuning in, see you next time.
