Thats such a cool and original one (or maybe it just feels that was since I was raised in the city).<br /><br />Also, you think you're getting old?! In April, I will be TWENTY! Mama mia. I really want to be in a good place when I turn twenty, so perhaps a small list like this can help me get there. Thanks for the great idea!

It's where i became a real adult, it's where i first lived on my own and where i found my passion, i've built my life here. When i was applying to schools my senior year i was actually being recruited for track by many smaller schools. I had torn my ACL so i was kinda broken goods but i was confident i could heal and become an even greater pole vaulter, so i was all about college athletics. I had applied to a school in Oregon and BYU Provo. I had convinced myself that i didn't have the grades to get into BYU and was pretty much set on going to Oregon. But then I got into BYU. (i actually only applied to Provo, and i couldn't tell ya why. i just never felt like rexburg was for me). anyway getting in changed everything. i had to choose between developing this talent that i felt God had given me by going to Oregon, or listening to the little voice pushing me to surround myself with people of my own faith. As you know, i chose BYU and i haven't looked back since. Once i made my decision i just simply felt happy, it wasn't some grandiose experience..just happy. In making that choice i had decided to be a little fish in a big pond rather than the other way around. There are a lot of students here but I have never felt like BYU was overwhelming. I feel like i'm consistently pushed to be my best here.<br /><br />Sometimes We're given two choices that are both the right choice, and thats hard because we want so badly to follow Gods will that we fail to recognize that often times either choice is going to be great for us.<br /><br />Sorry for this novel of a comment. I just want to end by telling you that i have cherished my every day here at BYU. I love the campus, i love the people, i love the unique social circle i have here. I'm sure you can find many of those things in rexburg (though we have yet to experience -18 degree weather here) but it sounds like the choice is truly entirely up to you and i'm sure you'll make the best one for you.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893353485267283847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-159671645555473276.post-27775198721968058442013-01-13T09:32:53.867-08:002013-01-13T09:32:53.867-08:00Loved this post, you spoke my heart many times.
