Fake Spring

Posted by Braden

The other day I walked around campus in shorts, a T-shirt, and flip flops. It was February. February is supposed to be cold and windy and miserable!

Instead, I saw boys shovel off the last bit of snow from the basketball court to start shooting hoops, and the newly uncovered sand volleyball court was once again being used! Students went outside voluntarily to study, and not once all day did I see a heavy coat being worn!

It's like the weather is taunting us . . . it's luring us into a false sense of security that spring is finally here, and then BAM! It's going to dump a few feet on us. I just know it is! And I'll be mentally ready for it, because I know it's coming!

In the meantime though . . . why waste perfectly good spring weather? Tomorrow is going to be another T-shirt day!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

This is my favorite time of the year! The campus is gorgeous with all of the different colors of leaves draped on the trees and scattered on the ground. It's like walking in an autumn picture. BYU is very diligent in keeping the landscaping flawless. I am just amazed when I walk from class to class on such a pretty campus. Along with the colorful leaves comes that time in the semester to sign up for winter classes . . . already! I think that my second semester will be full of challenging classes, but I don't think it will be such a shock compared to the very beginning, with its major transition and challenges. This time I will know what the standard is and what is expected of me. It's crazy to think that I am over halfway done with my first semester at BYU; the time has gone by so fast. College definitely keeps you busy, for sure.
