Okay, I found the funniest blog ever this week so I have to share it with y'all (that's probably the first time I've ever said y'all haha... seemed appropriate though). So, the title of this blog is "Stuff BYU People Like." And here's a list of the things they talk about on there:

Jimmer Fredette

Valentines Day

I read through them all and was laughing my head off so I'm going to post some of my favourite quotes in here:


Nalgene Bottles - "This is a growing trend on all college campuses, and unfortunately, BYU is not sitting it out. On every backpack you see dangling from a fake carabineer or other specifically designed hooking apparatus, a large, colorful, bulletproof water bottle. The bottle is heavy enough by itself, and filled with water they often make the small pre-mission boy tilt to one side."


Dating RM's - "BYU girls like talking about dates enough already, but the RM factor makes it so much jucier!"


Being First - "Now, to explain, BYU people insist they were first because they are afraid of appearing like they are just jumping on a bandwagon. Individuality is EXTREMELY important in a culture where everyone has the same beliefs, morals (more or less), and ancestors."


Pre-Status Majors - "There is no need to ask anyone their intended field, because the entire BYU population can be wrapped up into just a few majors: Pre-Med, Pre-Law, Pre-MBA, Pre-Dental, and elementary education. Not one of those (with the exception of the latter) is an actual major... However, first impressions are tough. Considering that college students usually get asked their major before their name, word choice is critical."


General Conference - "Instead of having to get dressed up to take a nap in a church building, BYU kids can now just do it in the comfort of their own apartment. Staying in pajamas all day really makes it convenient to sleep right through the meeting. While this is not a very social way to spend the weekend, it is still an extremely popular option. It is one of the reasons GC weekend is a Mormon favorite."


Playing the Piano - "Every BYU student THINKS they play the piano well enough to show off once in a while. For example, the WILK terrace.  BYU students see this piano as the perfect medium to send out their mating call. These students are sure that this public display of incredible talent will find them an eternal companion. Who wouldn’t want to strike up a conversation with an individual that is interrupting everyone’s lunch and study time with missing sharps and flats?"


Wedding Announcements - "Wedding announcements are the perfect thing to tear apart. Awkward poses, eights marrying fives, temple marriages that shouldn’t be in the temple, cliché font choice, overly-sensual photos, tacky registration information, diamonds that are too big, diamonds that are too small, and satisfaction that an ex is marrying someone less attractive than oneself all make attacking wedding announcements a tempting, juicy pastime."


BYU/SA - "You can get free hot chocolate or a hot dog about once a week. There is a big long line, the chocolate burns your tongue, and the hot dog buns are stale, but you are in college and you don’t get to be picky. Also, you never have to buy another T-shirt."


Festival of Colours - "The main lure of the Holi Festival of Colors is the chalk throwing. For a small fee event attendees can purchase authentic Indian powder (oh don’t worry, it's organic) in all different colors. This chalk is then thrown in the air and at other attendees for approximately 7 seconds. Everyone spends the next hour laughing about how purple their hair is, complaining about how much chalk they have inhaled, and taking pictures that all look the same (but STILL uploading all 60 of them to a Facebook album that night). The most overrated event in Utah Valley."


The HBLL - "DO NOT wear your earbuds through the security gate. DO NOT read anything on the bookshelves. The books are just there for show. DO NOT (if you make the mistake of actually picking up a book) put it back where you found it, EVEN IF you have your finger in its EXACT location. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT put it back on the shelf. DO text the entire time you sit in the library, and make sure you leave your phone on vibrate, so it rattles the entire table. DO update your status, stalk an ex-boyfriend’s wedding album, post cute things on all of your roommates walls and accept all pending friend requests in the 2nd or 3rd floor computer labs as 7 anxious BYU students wait in line for a free computer. DO jump 4 feet in the air when the closing music surprises you. It entertains the non-rookies."


Jimmer Fredette - "When you see him across campus, don’t be shy, shout his name and start talking about that one time he scored that point.  I promise, you can call him Jimmer, he’s your bud."


So, I've pretty much summed it up for you but if you are bored, read this blog and I can guarantee that you will laugh because there's nothing funnier than laughing at yourself!
