Homecoming at BYU is the best! It was pretty busy, but there were so many fun things to do. I think I've finally gotten use to the college schedule to do homework, go to class, go to work, and party. Now I just need to work on eating regularly. My roommates are so wonderful. Every Sunday we have a hall meeting and it looks like we're one of the only apartments that hasn't had roommate problems. <3
Sunday Morning. I had to make something delicious for Conference. <3 I would have made waffles, but we were invited to a waffle party later that night. Conference made me a little homesick. I miss Mom making me food!!!! All the speakers were great.
Tuesday: Kickin off the Homecoming Celebrations at a Devotional..
Skits from Studio C. They're great.
Coach: What does it say on the back of your jersey?!
Jason: Tradition!
Coach: Oh... this would have been easier if you were Honor.
Matt: Can I have a jersey that says Spirit?
Mallory and Whitney introducing our football coach.
Jeremy reading off the homecoming schedule.
Starting to hike Y Mountain later that night.
Almost as pretty as sunsets back home.
Top of the Y with Cosmo. He's a pretty cool cat.
Sitting on top of the Y and waiting for dark. It is the biggest college logo in the U.S.. It's even bigger than the Hollywood letters. It was suppose to say BYU, but they got tired. ;)
Provo after dark.
It's a Homecoming Tradition to light the Y and I got to help. :)
View from outside our apartment. It's really cool in real life.
Wednesday: Last run through of Seussical! For my theatre class we had to spend ten hours of serving the theatre community. I was able to work crew for the Mask Club "Seussical the Musical." It kicked off the season for Mask Clubs. Every Thursday one goes up in the Nelke Theatre. It plays three times in one day and then that's it.
The cast was amazing. They were so sweet and talented.
It was difficult to cut the show into 40 minutes for the appropriate Mask Club length, but they pulled it off.
Alone in the Universe <3 I definitely play this song whenever I'm sad. It's great.
Thursday Morning: Refusing to run late. It worked. Poor Marie.
I head Studio C was coming to the bookstore Friday, so Jenni and I made sure we were there. We managed to be 2nd in line for standby Divine Comedy tickets so we got into the show! While waiting in line, Whitney came to talk to us about how the line was going to work since the Y Events people were no where to be seen. I had to secretly snap chat her to my sister and a few other friends.
A friend held our place in line for Divine Comedy while we ran over to the Bookstore to see the Studio C cast. They're real people. Lol We didn't get to talk to them since the line was uber long and we weren't buying a shirt or a dvd right then.
Matt and Mallory showed up a little later. People went a little crazy when they walked in.
Yeah that's the line behind us. Whadup! haha we sat second row behind the VIPs.
Divine Comedy is hilarious. If you get the chance, go!
We went to the 7pm show. There was a 9pm show right after it. You won't believe who we talked to going out while they were going in.....
Mallory was super cool. She must have been tired of smiling, but she didn't let on. They are all Mormon Celebrities. Can I please be her????
Talking to Whitney again and this one she knew we were taking a picture. ;)
Matt Meese. They all look so much older in person. So weird that they were willing to stand around and talk to us. We were really chill about it. A couple people were freaking out. Jason and Jeremy walked into the show before we could catch them. Natalie and James didn't stick around.
We decided the night couldn't end there! Here are our balloons! I'm not going to say where we got them....
Drinks at the Wall! The Italian soda was good. Yeah the Wall is a Mormon bar in the basement of the Wilk. All about that college life. lolz
Drawing on the walls of the Wall.
Mail from Sister Andersen!!!! I was so excited to hear from here. I wrote back immediately, but I haven't been able to send it yet. She's doing well in Ohio.
Saturday: Why am I up so early in a freezing parking lot? Homecoming Parade! #volunteering
It's time. Candy Corn season has arrived.
Samantha did my paint for the game. Go cougs!!!
Emily, Melissa, Me, and Sam.
I got 4 free t-shirts on Saturday. One from volunteering at the parade. One in front of the Stadium at the Game. One inside the gates. One from concessions.
We were trying to win and Instagram contest for Cougar Spirit. Haven't heard anything yet so I guess we lost. Bummer. We're too photogenic to loose. ;)
Hey! That's our roommate! She has a sick burn on her arm right now from someone throwing some tumbling stunt and kicking her.
Wear your free blue shirt at half time and get free food?!?! We're down. The first one is me and then I just had to take a ton of Melissa.
After game party? Of course! We push each other around the basement in the magic laundry basket.
This hallway at night = terrifying
This hallway while riding through in a magic basket = terrifyingly awesome
Just a friendly reminder from the bathroom of the Conference Center. I'm really taking time out of Sunday School for a smoke break. e.e
Tonight for Ward Prayer our FHE was introduced. Our Ma read off crazy facts about us and the ward had to guess who went with each interesting statement. Mine was, "My bedroom door has been taken off its hinges and stolen." The reaction from the crowd was pretty funny. I'm thankful for Bryce, Joey, Elisabeth, Emily, Laura, and everyone else that helped create all of my wonderful High School memories. I have some pretty sick stories to tell.
The smell of cupcakes and the sound of good music makes just about everything better. Now it's time to attempt some homework and go to sleep.
