life of a college student.

i have had less than ten, even five dollars, in my account on multiple occasions this month.
boys cooked for us today, its the most nutritiously balanced meal i've had all school year.
i avoid homework like the plague.
i'm constantly setting goals, but sometimes it takes a while..
my gas tank usually only receives a couple gallons at a time.
i had pasta five nights in a row.
right now i'm craving st. george. i need to get away. i miss my grandma! (ps call out to the stgeezy girls.. i think i might go down in two weekends.. who is down? split gas?) :)
apparently the new software update for my iphone was the coolest thing since sliced bread, but i was too busy to really notice.
tonight i got ready for bed and quickly noticed my shorts (running shorts, the kind with the built in awkward undies) were on backwards. i was too tired to care.
the dollar menu almost too expensive for me.
the idea of being in a house is extremely exciting, even if its just for the night.

but- the life of a byu student is all of this and more.

the boys are nice and complimentary.
students and professors alike are teaching me things i haven't even thought about.
this week i found out the Christmas story is a fraud. (did you know Jesus was actually born in a cave, and wise men didn't come for a reallly long time after?)
i have a reason for being here and i know what i need to do to better myself.
where else can you feel the Spirit so strong you are about to cry?
there's something about those white shirts and ties on sundays that you just can't beat..
even though i do horribly on my New Testament tests, i still am grateful for all i learn.
i'm still poor, but still lovin' life.
