teh zoo.

So it's friday night. I'm sitting here watching tv with Jarom. We have friends, seriously, but apparently they all went home after finals. i asked Jarom what i should blog about and he said, "how lonely you are?" Then i said, "what about things i don't like about BYU kids." So we're going to stick with that. thus the title "the zoo" and yes i know i wrote "the" as "teh." 50m371m35 1 5p3ak 1n 1337.

The list.

- they LOVE talking about their classes!
"what classes do you have this semester?"
"oh nothing big, calc, o-chem, anatomy..." yadda yadda yadda. BUT they love talking about their teachers even more!
"who do you have for o-chem?"
"oh really, i had him, hes soooooo hard." come on people don't you have any interests? hobbies? can't you talk about anything else? wow.
- they think they are really smart because they got good grades in high school, but they are not smart. anyone who studies all day everyday all semester and still gets a C is not smart.
- plays the piano in the wilk.
- gets dates at teh library
- white shirt and tie. crew neck sweater. V-neck, come on.
- pick up line of "what is your major" *used by girls*
- mission stories at church. why do RM's talk so much about their missions in sacrament meeting talks? because they haven't felt the spirit since then. zing.
- dont know how to cross the street!! and look both ways! don't use cross walks properly. a couple weeks ago i was driving down 800n. (you know it) and 3 guys bolt out into the road, not in a cross walk. they see me coming and keep walking, i think to myself, "that is not a cross walk, speed up" so i sped up and they realized i wasn't going to stop. i rolled down my window and yelled "that's not a crosswalk!" they were like 4 feet from me. it was great. then i resumed talking to my dad on the phone. i don't mind jaywalkers, but if you are jaywalking you better run across the street. dont expect me to stop for you.
- ugly couples that create ugly babies.
- 18 year old pregnant girls.
- says "there is nothing to do in utah" huh, exsqueeze me, a bacon powder? utah is the most beautiful place on the planet, trust me.
- they all claim to snowboard, but really are posers.
- DTR's.
- spirituality contests. one-upsmanship.
- whenever i see anyone walking to or from school they are ALWAYS on the phone! who in the hail are they always talking to? i use like 60 minutes a month.
- they like to use big words, in the wrong context, just to sound smart.
- add people on facebook that they don't really know, but hey, they're in the same network.
- honor code nazis.
- jarom doesn't like people giving him dirty looks when he doesn't shave. give him a break. he runs a tight schedule.
- girls that think they are clever and try and hook you up with their roommate. yeah, we see what is going on there.
- the sheltered kids who don't know anything about the real world.
- guys with neat and or shaggy long-ish surfer hair. it just seems like they are trying WAY to0 hard to be cool.
- take peoples reserved parking spots.
- butter faces.
- this is not true for all byu students, but a lot of them don't pay for school. sometimes i think "wow, doesn't this kid have a job? nope."
- girls that are VERY forward. physically.
- girls that go to school to get married. and don't really want to get a degree.
- king henry, liberty square, bellmont, rain tree, branbury, glenwood aka "glenhood."
- byu football.
- byu basketball, maybe i'll cheer for them if any of their players serve a mission for more than two months.
- RM's that think they speak their mission language better than the natives of that country.

that is it for now.
note: this list was made by a byu student, and possibly a future byu student (i might go to the u of u though.)

Hahahaha, best post in a while. Maybe cuz I'm in perfect concordance with you. (notice the big word).

Favs:

BYU Football (Bad enough alone, but the two words combined = worst thing ever. PS Go Utes)

BYU Basketball, maybe i'll cheer for them if any of their players serve a mission for more than two months.

Haha. That's just funny. I hate it when the stupid people cross the street in a crosswalk, while my light is still green/they aren't supposed to walk! Grrr! Or when they try to walk before my light even turns yellow!!! Stupid stupid kids just wanting to get themselves killed.

That is an awesome blog post. I think my favorite was RM's who talk about their missions in their talks... cuz they haven't felt the spirit since then. "zing!" Haha, that was brilliant Tanner.

Ha ha- this was a good one... I must admit i'm guilty on like half of them... ok just one - the using big words one... sometimes I talk like a fool so I'm trying to better my speech.

Amen to the Crew Neck Sweaters!!! Are these people retarded!?!??! I actually appreciate them wearing it because it makes the rest of us look good.

Yeah and the people with like 4,000 freaking friends... they just add everyone they meet because they have this idea in their head that they are popular... which pretty much sums up BYU

good blog

Tanner you need a break from BYU! or maybe just a break from college life. Come visit Grandpa, Bob and Dave in Idaho to give you some perspective.
