Day #23: Let it SNOW! {college that is (;}

Before anyone panics and thinks I'm wishing for snow, just know that I'm not THAT crazy.
I'm referring to SNOW College!!! (:
Which is where I spent half of my weekend!

My favorite half-goat man, Mr. Tumnus (Tyler as he is formally known to those who are unaware of his true identity) was having a choir concert on Friday night, and I thought that would be the perfect time to go see my badger friends!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Utah colleges, SNOW is a cute little junior college in Ephraim, Utah.  It's about an hour and a half-ish south of Provo, and the drive is beautiful (perfect for windows down, sunglasses on, and jamming out to country, regina spector, and some other favorite tunes)!
It was so fun to catch up with and see Makayla and Tyler! They're super fun and I love them lots!

Here are some things I learned/witnessed on my trip:
-SNOW has about 25,000 less people than my school and everyone knows everyone.
-Marches make you want to march. And do abdominal exercises....
-Cymbals are a completely necessary part of the Battle Hymn of the Republic

-If you talk about unicorns and rainbows, things explode and make you jump 8 million feet in the air.
-SNOW is ranked number 6 in the nation's junior colleges. For real. Ask CNN.
-Flipping your hair is the symbol for distinguished alumnus.
-The man holding out his hand is ALWAYS right. Follow your urge to look where he points.

-Jason Derulo's "Whatcha Say" gets stuck in your head and never. leaves. n.e.v.e.r.
-Fire alarms have feelings to. They complain and want attention when they are lonely and hungry. Don't push their buttons though... they get kind of angry.
-Wancakes sound much more oriental than Paffles and is therefore the obvious better choice.
-Making pancakes into shapes makes the eating experience that much better.

-Getting half of your toe-nail taken off by a door hurts. A lot.

-J-walking is legal in Ephraim. Seriously. Not just like "everyone does it and no one gets in trouble," .........but legal. For real.
-They have benches that discourage cuddling.... or encourage it..... we couldn't quite decide.
-Giving string cheese out at a parade is kind of a sketchy thing to do.

-I'm "some people."
-Climbing trees is not against the honor code in some parts of the state (: go figure! Only problem was... there weren't any good trees to climb...
-SNOW was named after all the bugs that fly around that look like they have white, fluffy bums.
-Herding a herd of sheep down a road and stopping traffic in the process is acceptable.

-I love my friends!!!!


Thanks for the great weekend Ephraim! I'll have to visit sometime again soon!
