Things to do in Provo

I have not done very many exciting things since coming to BYU. I was not blessed with any roommates that had a car, so that kind of limits things. But, I have done some really fun things, so, if you are a student at BYU these are some of the things I recommend you doing.

1. Go to intramural games that your friends are playing in. I am not exactly a sports fan. At all. In fact I had zero interest in sports before coming here, and I still kind of do. However, for some reason, I enjoy watching my friends play in intramural games and cheering them on. (Quietly of course, I'm not a screamer. Really, I'm just there as silent, telepathic support.)

2. Go to the duck pond.

In the pictures of Krista, it looks like there aren't any ducks... There are I promise.

3. Go ice skating at 7 Peaks. (And if you can get a cute boy to hold your hand while your at it, even better!)

6.

4. Play in the snow! Don't let the cold get to you! It will go away eventually! (I promise. Summer does actually come back, even if you don't think it ever will.)

5. Remember that you can have fun with hardly anything. All you need is a sense of humor, a water bottle, a hair tie, and some hair on your head.

6. RENT A PUPPY. Just Google it.

His name is Jerry. :)

7. Go try out all the cute local restaurants and food places.

This is Sammy's. They have pie shakes. And the inside of the place has tons of character.

This is the Malt Shoppe. It has a fun diner-y feel and yummy food. :)

8. If you can find a friend with a car, offer to help pay for gas and go on a mini road trip to one of the many national parks around. We went to Zion and hiked up Angels Landing. (If you do that make sure to bring more water than we did.)  Also, if you go to Zion, make sure to stop on your way back and reward yourself with Bumbleberry pie. (If you go during Presidents day weekend, you don't have to pay to get into the park.)

9. Go to the Holi Festival in Spanish Fork. It's seriously SO much fun and so cheap!

10. There are so many other things to do as well. Pay attention to fliers. Go to church activities. Go to campus activities. Look for adventures. Make friends. Try new things! :) No matter where you are, you won't have fun if you don't try. Make the most out of every situation you end up in, have a good attitude, and you will have the time of your life!

A few weeks ago I applied for the photography program here at BYU. It's a tough program to get into. I think I technically have about a 25% chance of making it. However, I believe that I am a pretty good photographer, especially for an amateur, so my chances should be a little bit higher than 25%. Anyways, I'll find out in a few weeks if I made it in. But, I wanted to share the pictures I submitted.
