A Few Things I've Learned Since Moving to Utah:

• Arizona sweaters and "jackets" don't cut it in places that actually get cold.

• Scraping ice off your car every morning gets really annoying.

• Trying to buy an ice scraper for your car when you've never even seen one, can be difficult.

• You can buy food storage supplies ANYWHERE in Utah, including grocery stores and gas stations.

• College kids really can survive on nothing but ramen noodles. And ice cream.
  

• Leaves that have fallen onto the sidewalk can be slippery when stepped on wrong.

• The BYU testing center is purgatory.

• People like to sometimes do odd things while walking to school such as listen to music, talk on the phone, read, study, eat, and shave. (I actually saw a guy shaving with an electric razor on his way to class last week. Took every ounce of self control I had not to laugh out loud.)

• Spiders can grow to horrific sizes, pop up when you least expect them, and fake their own deaths to trick you into a false sense of security.

• English professors can, and do, talk about church-y topics in class, and some have opening prayer every class period and assign scripture readings as homework.

• Huffing and puffing the 3/4 of a mile up the ginormous hill to school every day makes those jeans that were a getting a little snug two months ago a little more comfortable.
  

• College professors who occasionally sing during class lectures do not get a lot of respect.
  

• Fall is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

• Windows that have been stuck down for two weeks without budging, then magically decide to smoothly roll up the moment the mechanic lays a finger on the button, can be quite embarrassing.
  

• Giggling like a crazy person in front of said mechanic who failed to see the irony in the situation, can also be quite humiliating.

• When having a panic attack at eleven o'clock at night, there is nothing better than a roommate who takes you out for pizza, ice cream, and girl talk.
  

• Having one entrance to your street closed off for a month and a half can be really annoying, especially when you never once remember to turn before you get to it and have to go all the way up and around to get to your house.
  

• Not cutting or dying your previously dyed hair for two months straight has some pretty scary results.
  

• Having neighbors who own movies like What's Up Doc? and North and South, and who have parties on "National Talk Like a Pirate Day" where they watch Pirates of the Carribean and eat Chips Ahoy cookies, means instant friendship.
  

• Singles Wards will use ANY excuse to get everyone together, such as "ward prayer."

• Life as a full-time student, part time employee, Relief Society music coordinator, roommate, and friend means always having adventures of some kind or another!
