You know you're at BYU when...

So for those of you who don't know, I'm a transfer student from Oregon State University (NOT the Ducks, I came from the "other" school as people so nicely put it) and now attend Brigham Young University. BYU is a church-owned private university; therefore, a lot of funny and great things go one here that did not happen at OSU. I would like to share my top 10 "You know you're at BYU when..." moments with you. Let us commence. 

10. Your religion class instructor cries during the opening hymn. 

9. You have religion classes as part of the curriculum... and opening hymns. 

8. When you sit down in a giant lecture hall, people sit right next to you even though there are a million empty seats.

7. Said person from scenario #8 says "Hi! I'm (insert name here), what's your name? Where are you from?".... every single class. 

6. People open the door for one another and say thank you when you open the door for them. 

5. Since most of your teachers wrote their own textbooks, they usually include the Savior and an LDS perspective in each chapter. 

4. No one knows what Thirsty Thursday is. 

3. You hear "when I was on my mission..." every other comment. 

2. A nice guy talks to you in lecture, and even provides you with the notes you missed from last week. Then, the following week you say "yeah, and my husband and I..." and he says "wait, you're married?" and he's no longer so nice to you... awkward. 

AND MY FAVORITE ONE IS... 

1. The restrooms in the Education building (a.k.a. one of the biggest majors in the entire university) have a mother's lounge. 

You gotta love BYU, I know I do.

  1. FYI...almost all of the buildings have at least one mothers' lounge! (I'm guilty of using one or two of them for their couches when needing a comfty place to sit...but I would have quickly given it up if a mother came in.)
