Why I love BYU-Idaho

So I have been missing being a student and being at BYU-Idaho these last few days pretty badly. People who haven't been there don't really understand. So here's some things that I learned and things that I just love about BYUI.
- My testimony grew a million times what it was when I was in High School. The place has the spirit everywhere. Plus you feel a great sense of responsibility to be the best you can when your gaining an amazing education that is at the Lords University.
-I love how the Rexburg temple is visible everywhere! It is so beautiful, and the fact that it was a 20 minute walk tops from any place I lived in Rexburg is just amazing.
-The quiet places on campus. Where it felt like just you and the Spirit. Like on the middle part of the Hinkeley where there's the huge window and couches that look out over all of Rexburg. I love those spots I would spend time at when I had to stay on campus late into the night.
-The people! Wow I made so many lifelong friends at school. People who really changed my life. The girls that were my roommates throughout the semesters uplifted and encouraged me to be something I didn't even think I could be. Not one semester I was at school was I not inspired or learn something powerful from the girls I lived with. We had amazing times, from camping, staying up late, or giving each other facials and pedicures living with strong Lds women can be such a great opportunity to really learn what "Sisters in Zion" means.
-The snow. Really I'm not kidding. Walking home late at night in the complete silence with the snow falling around me were times when I received some of the greatest revelations about my life. And getting kisses in the snow is wonderful :)
-Stadium Singing! For those of you who dont know what that is, basically tons of people meet under the stadium every single Sunday night, rain, snow, or shine and sing hymns a Capella and it is the most beautiful thing.
-Dating. Considering myself someone who experienced BYUI dating more than most anyone- haha totally serious- I love how good so many of the guys are. I feel blessed for most of the relationships with guys who had strong testimonies. Even though anyone who knows me knows that I'm slightly fed up with dating as this point- I am grateful that my time at BYUI taught me that dating can be wholesome and incredibly beautiful. Falling in love there more than once was a great thing-even though those relationships ended , I will never forget how magical some of the moments I had there were.
-Pretty much everything -except the expectation to get married before graduation.I'm still waiting for my refund :)
