My life the past six years

Things I like about Utah Valley:
-Lots of ethnic food everywhere
-Lots of people who speak random languages and lived in random places everywhere
-Easy to make fun of
-Pretty safe
-Great spring and summer
-All four seasons (it has its pros and cons)
-People tend to be pretty smart overall
-Not having to feel weird for being a Mormon
-Cool mountains
-IKEA close-by
-Not having to worry about people getting drunk and thus fairly annoying pretty quickly
-International Cinema
-Peaches in the summer

Things I don't particularly like about Utah Valley:
-Snow. Too much. For too long.
-Everyone looks too nice; there's too much pressure to be perfect outwardly
-Lots of judging (based on outward appearances)
-No options for a nightlife
-Movies frequently and unnecessarily edited
-Far from most of my family
-Dogs aren't allowed in nearly all student housing
-Being contrary (argumentative) is considered a sin, at least socially if not morally
-Everything has significant potential to be awkward
