17 Why I Love BYU

 Every time I think about the fact that I am going to school at BYU right now, I think about how lucky I am to be here. The campus is beautiful, the environment is great, and the people are all great people. I thought it would be weird to have prayers before my classes, but it never is. I love it. The environment here is so positive and safe, which means I have one less thing to stress about. There are few other colleges where I could go to a party on a Friday night and there is NO alcohol. And where everyone is just having a good time and being morally clean and you can be sure no one is drugging your drink. I feel even safer here than in high school. And I know things still happen and it isn't 100% safe all the time, but man it's about as safe as you can get. All my professors weave the gospel into lessons, which is so cool. I've written papers on very spiritual topics, which I couldn't really do anywhere else. My roommate and I can talk about spiritual things all the time too. I'm not like the weird girl that kneels by her bed to pray, can't go to any of the parties, and goes to church EVERY Sunday and then doesn't do anything else or have any "fun". I'm a normal girl doing all those things. Anyway, that's really cool to me. Plus, everyone is so kind. There is always someone holding the door for me, the times I have left valuables somewhere they were never stolen, I rarely hear a swear word. I even forgot what Marijuana smells like because I haven't smelled it since leaving Washington. Wow. That's amazing. Plus, tuition is super low. I don't think there is any other college that could make me near as happy or as grateful to be a student at than BYU.
I already have so many great memories of BYU :)
