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
