7 Dates You've Probably Been On If You Go To BYU-I

It’s no secret that BYU-Idaho has an interesting dating culture. The university itself has been nicknamed BYU-“I do!” However, being on a small campus in a small town, it has been proven that it can be hard to be creative with dates. So here’s 7 dates you or your roommates have probably been on, whether you realize it or not.

1. The R Mountain Hike- An easy hike with a view of an oh-so-beautiful desert. (Not). Accompanying awkwardness is almost guaranteed. “Will he hold my hand? Should I just hold his?” “What if it’s too hot and I get all sweaty and gross?” “Hello, pit stains. How romantic.”

2. The Burg- A small burger joint with milkshakes that are to die for. Accompanied by a burger, this is a pretty good meal. Unless you’re on a first date and don’t want to be seen stuffing a juicy hamburger into your face.

3. The Devo Date- Every Tuesday, at 2:10 p.m., there is a huge campus wide devotional. They file into the I-Center just to hear a speaker give a talk. Some people even come dressed in their Sunday best to this event. And many will send a text Monday night saying, “Hey! Are you sitting by anyone for devo tomorrow?” Don’t pretend like you haven’t, because you probably have. And it was probably awkward trying to talk to your “devo date” while the speaker was trying to tell you something about your eternal salvation.

4. Temple Walk- Walking the temple grounds is quite the romantic and spiritual excursion. For couples wanting to contemplate life, or contemplate the spirituality of their date as a future marriage partner, this would be the perfect thing. If you’re into that.

5. Pizza Pie Café- This place is a gift from the heavens above. It’s a pizza buffet with every kind of pizza you could want—even dessert pizza. It makes for a perfect group date with friends. It’s especially fun to have eating contests, or to build a Jenga tower out of pizza crusts.

6. “Wanna watch a movie at my apartment?”- This question has been asked countless times, especially in the winter when there is not much to do around Rexburg. This question should probably be phrased something more like, “Hey wanna come over? We can put a movie on and this will just be an excuse for me to cuddle with you and hold your hand. And when my roommates leave, I might even kiss you. But I’ll probably tell you later that I’m actually not interested in you at all and all that was for nothing.”

7. Gardens- The gardens by the Rick’s building are nothing short of gorgeous. It’s a quiet place with lots of privacy. However, unless both people are horticulture majors, you’re probably not going to spend lots of time looking at plants, just a hunch. It’s a widely known fact that the Rick’s Gardens are the school’s best make out spot.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
