My First Weekend At BYU Idaho!!!

This past week has literally been the best weekend of my life!  On Wednesday I explored Rexburg, got moved in to my apartment, and got my textbooks/i-card!  Then on Thursday I met my wonderful roommates!  These girls are wonderful!  We have clicked and bonded so easily I feel that we have known eachother my whole life!  The roommate that is in the same room as me is named Ashley and is from Galt, California!  She seems very sweet and nice!  She has been with her family who she doesnt get to see alot in Idaho Falls everyday this past weekend so we havent had alot of time to bond, but the time we have had she has been a wonderful roommate!  Another roommate is named Joye!  Joye is such a sweetheart!  She is 5'0'' and a ball of fun!  She was shy when I first met her but I pulled her out of her comfort shell.  She is from Farmington, Utah!  The girl that she is roomming with is named Morgan!  They grew up together in Farmington!  She is one of the nicest girls ever!  She is 5'2'' so that room is full of shorties!  Then we have Nicolette who is from Colorado Springs and she is so sweet!  She has a big heart!  So we have clicked with this group of boys, and one of the boys is named Zach.  Nicolette and Zach like eachother, so cute!  Then Nicolette's roommate is named Tori!  Tori is from New York, about an hour away from NYC!  Its so cool!  She has this small accent whenever she says a word with an A in it!  So funny!  Overall, I am so excited that we are all roommates.  These are a bunch of fabulous, HOT girls!  Guys, hot RM's...  Come at us ;)

So I think I have made my mark on this BYU Idaho campus because I have for some reason I have been saying YOLO (you only live once) to everything!  So pretty much everyone says it! 

So much has happened this weekend, that I have no clue where to start!  It has been a weekend that has 100% felt like EFY all over again!  We were put into groups called I-teams and what I-teams are, are groups that you hang out with, go to meetings and explore campus with!  You do everything your first weekend with this group!  My roommates and these boys names Zach, Chance and Britton all bonded the first night we met!  It was crazy, so the boys are always at our house because we have a 50'' tv with dish satellite!  We heard the president of the college speak about the spirit of the campus and it was very good!  That night there were a bunch of games on the fields which were fun!  The next day we spoke with the directors who are in charge of our major progams!  They seem like great teachers!  Later that night we had a talent show.  Oh my gosh it was the best talent show of my life!  There was everything from singers (who were amazing) to flag dancers to beatboxing.  There was this one beatboxer who was AMAZING!  Literally the best beatboxer I have ever heard in my entire life!  He was so good and hilarious!  It was great! 

The next day we just hung out all day until night when we went to a huge night called I-night which is this HUGE event where you can do anything from sumo wrestling to kareoke to dancing to lazer tag to envlateable races and everything like that!  It was one huge carnival!  It was so much fun!  The dance was the best part!  This whole weekend was just a blast!  I cant even put into words all the fun times I have had! 


Well there is definently more stories to come about my wonderful adventure here in Idaho!
