Qui Ose Gangne

Happy New Year!
      Well, it's two weeks into the semester and I am alive! I hope that y'all had a fantastic Christmas/Winter holiday/New Year! I have been gathering information about fun things you must do around Provo and so far this is it:

1. Go hiking/walking/burn stuff around the Provo canyon

2. Eat at one of the exotic restaurants on Center Street

3. Go to "Color Me Mine" and paint something for an arm and a leg (or go to the dollar store and find a clay creature to paint, and if you want to get all fancy, purchase some acrylic paints).

4. Check out some of the museums on BYU campus (there are a lot more than people realize)

5. Find that one round-about island by Seven Peaks with an outlet and bring
some cosy blankets, a friend, and your laptop, and watch a movie.

6. Roast various things on the lights by the BYU bell-tower (they usually are toasty by 1-2 a.m.)

7. Rent a room in the BYU library and have a movie night with your library-dwelling friends.

8. Spend the whole night swapping favorite YouTube movies......fun?

9. Go to the local thrift store (Deseret Industries) and critique the fashion of the eighties.

10. Find one of the many mysterious import stores and feel cool.

11. There are apparently several crepe places around (I haven't seen them..yet) and go there.

12. Make some stencils and create your own t-shirts, or go tagging---shhhhhh!

13. Ice cream sculpt.

14. SKI!!!!!!

15. Get together with your musically inclined buddies and play some tunes.

16. Make friends with someone whose apartment has a hot tub/pool.

17. Play bored games. Oops, erm board, board bored games. I recommend Riddle Riot, just because you've probably never played it before (it's discontinued, yep. I'm just that cool) and is extremely frustrating = good time.

18. Go to the Coco Bean for some delicious cupcakes and a fun atmosphere

19. Go to a coffee shop and listen to the radical political views of the young and restless that live there.

20. Go to the BYU International Cinema! It is not only free, but international, and thus cooler than another night of chick flicks (nothing against chick flicks, but you can only watch Ever After so many times).

21. Use the Provo Date Builder App

Well, that's all I have gathered so far. As one can see, life in Provo revolves mainly around going out to eat or watching movies (unless you associate with some very creative folk, and then you must share your fancy-pants ideas so I can pretend to be creative) and the activity of choice in a university town is *drum-roll*: dating. Lots of dates goin' on 'round here. So, just grab a date and thus have motivation to get creative?

Place to go: Riverwoods Mall. There are lots of things to do there.

Song of the month:
may everyone profess their love like this:
