So I have been in school now for a year and a half straight with no breaks more than a week or two at a time. I am ready to do something a little different. And especially to take a step out of the cougar spotlight. Don't get me wrong--I have enjoyed my time at BYU very much, but there is only so much I can handle. I am ready to read something other than a text book for the first time in 3 1/2 years. To celebrate, I have thought of a list of things that I cannot stand about BYU and Provo, and will take the time to vent about them.
-Dress and Grooming standards (so what if i like long hair? i'm not a bad person)
-BYU girls
-Professors that need to get off their high horse cause they teach at BYU
-Provo drivers
-BYU pedestrians who walk into the road without looking
-zoobies
-being stereotyped as a zoobie
-university parking enforcement
-textbook sell-back policies
-no spring break
-required religion classes being my lowest grades in college. (i'm pretty sure i understand the book of mormon better than the fall of rome)
-couples holding hands and cuddling as they study on the grass outside the library
-girls who ask why you seem distant after you kiss them, when you have only known them a week
-"So how long have you been back from your mission?"
-"what's your major?"
-people wearing capes around campus as part of the medievil club
-I'm not looking to marry someone after a first date, so stop asking
-paranoid BYU students who spend way too much time studying and forget that they are in college
-The testing center
-rape hill (well i'll kinda miss it)
-the look certain people give you when you cross the street while the blinking red hand is still showing on the walking sign
-when people take a test and make a huge display about saying a prayer beforehand. Hat off, check. folded arms, check. head bowed, check. eyes closed, check.
-people praying out loud over lunch in the student center
-anything to do with BYUSA
-paying $150 for a paper/spiral bound textbook
feel free to add any of your own, I know those of you from outside Provo may have even more than me.
Freedom, here i come. for 4 full months!

ReplyDeletewow I sense a little bit of anger in your tone. You might need to seek a little post BYU therapy.... Just a thought.
