Utah State is my Fave!

I've been really appreciating Utah State University lately.  Maybe it's just me being nostalgic now that I'm getting super close to graduating and I have no idea where I will be in a few months or so.  Here are a few of the great things I've been appreciating this week!  (Here comes another one of my lists!)

1. Old Main.  I love that building!  Maybe because it's the oldest building on campus and I'm all about history and old things.  I don't even mind that I've practically lived in that building the last couple of years.  :)

2.  Philosophy professors.  Okay so here's the thing.  I think that philosophy is crazy weird and super confusing.  I feel like there's not really any use for it.  Philosophy is for people who overthink way more than I do...which I've always thought would be hard to do!  But I'm taking a philosophy class to fill a depth requirement and even though I still think it's weird and I feel bad for the professor, it's kind of growing on me.  Maybe I just like to cheer for the underdogs and since not very many people like philosophy, I'm just going to have to like it!  ...Even if I have no idea what it's talking about!

3.  The crazy people I see on campus.  So the other day there was this man...wearing snow boots...that went clear up over his knees.  Now I know that's normal for girls, but I don't think I've ever seen a man wear snow boots up over his knees.  It was weird...

4. The Family Life building.  I haven't taken a class in that building since my freshman year, but now I have a class there.  I felt like I was walking into a different century when I walked in there!  At least a different decade - with the awesome tile floors, the stone walls, the awesome entry way of stairs, and the weird fetus development models in the cupboards of my classroom.

5.  The massive hill that I've had to walk up for the last year and a half.  Yeah...most of the time I hate it, but I've been kind of enjoying it lately.  Even though that hill kicks my butt every day, whether it's me huffing and puffing from walking up it or me falling up or down the hill, it gets me every time.  I've done surprisingly well walking on the snow though...there were a couple of close calls this morning where I thought I was going to show up to class with a wet bum, but I slipped and slid my way up that hill without losing my footing!  Take that hill!  (Okay, I better not say that because I will probably fall on it soon...it just won't stop snowing! I can only take so much snow and ice before disaster occurs!)

6. My favorite history professors.  Maybe this is just me being selfish, but I love knowing that I'm not the only one crazy about history!  :)

7. Digging my car out of the snow.  Even though it's freezing and I can't feel my hands by the end, scraping snow and ice off my car is invigorating!  The bitter cold wind, the snow all over my boots that ends up inside my car, the little patches of ice that just don't want to come off my windshield - I can't say that I love it, but I can't say that I hate it either.

8. Learning.  I just love learning!  And Utah State is such a great place to do that!  Great professors, great programs, and great people!  I just love it!!  I'm so glad I didn't let my freshman year scare me away from this place. 

(I had to end with an even number because...I hate odd numbers!  Yep...I do...and I'm graduating in an odd numbered year...)

So there is my little list of Utah State loves.

    1. Oh yeah! But that brings me to an odd number of things I love about Utah State...and you'll still be my best friend even after I don't go to Utah State anymore! :)
