This is my life.


This is the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU. It was ranked 3rd best college library by the Princeton Review. This is also where I spend most of my time in life. It is a very nice library as libraries go but...it is still a library and you still have to be quiet. Not only do I choose to spend many late hours here filling my brain with information that I will then be required to regurgitate as an evaluation of my supposed learning but I also have chosen this place as my source of income and the effects of which I am only now beginning to see. Pros: I have access to secret library employee lounges where I feast on countless vending machine pseudo-foods, I don't use gas driving to work, I study more (most important). Cons: I am always on campus, I never leave campus, I live/work/study/eat on campus!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING! The conclusion I have come to is this is my life. I am student. Campus is my life right now and sometime I think maybe it will be worth it and I will look back and hopefully remember the good times. This is an amazing place. i.e.

Ok, so just to prove that I don't actually spend every waking (and sometimes sleeping) moment at school here are some pictures of my birthday parties.

(Borders Books-waiting for a table, Happy Sumo, impromptu dance party)
