Last week before Finals
So today, I have some of my last sessions for about half of my classes. It is crazy weird, because once all my classes are over I just study for hours and hours for the Finals.
I really don't want to study for finals at all, nut I will and I will work super hard while I study. I will prove to my parents that I know what I am doing.
One thing I am going to miss a lot after this week, is my new best friend, I will want to hang out, but i will have to study and focus on my studies. It is not cool. I also need to pack away all that I own and I will need to return all of my books. I will have to return my computer and it is all going to be hectic. I am going to probably get a lot of things out of the way now, and hopefully that will make it a lot easier to deal with my studies. I may ask my roommate to help me a bit with packing stuff away and bring things back to the computer store and to the Bookstore. I will also probably call my grandparents today and ask them if I can bring all of my college gear to their place on Saturday or something. And I probably will study for some of my classes with my new best friend, because I want to hang out, plus we have a class that is the same, so we can study together. I just hope that this week doesn't go by to fast, because once it is over then I have very few friends to hang with when I have free time, and it will drive me crazy. I hope that I have time to hang out still a little bit next week, because then I leave home for 2 and 1/2 months, and then I have a mission to go on, so I want to do well on my Finals, so I will study like crazy and make sure that I am super prepared, but i will still want to hang out with people that I know, when I have studied for hours and hours. So hopefully people are available. Right now, my thoughts are half on school and the other half is focusing on my friends and having to leave them behind. I don't want to disappoint anyone, but with leaving I may disappoint a few people. I especially will miss having great times like making crepes and spending time with great friends, it will be okay though, I guess. I just hope that I do super well on my Finals, but that I will also remember all the good times with my friends.

Why I will miss BYU for the next two years!!!!!!
I have recently obtained a mission call to Ukraine. I am super excited about learning a new language and meeting lots of new people, but I am sad that I only have two weeks left of school here at BYU. I have a lot of friends here at BYU and they are all super kind. I have learned a lot about myself as a person from the people I have met, and I have especially learned a lot about myself from a very important person that I have met here. She really has influenced me in many ways that will help me in my future. She is very kind, pretty, considerate, willing to listen to what I have to say, she is an easy-going person, she is sweet, she is spiritually astounding, she is also very charitable, and humble. She can make friends with anyone, she is in a way the most amazing person I have met. I will especially miss her the most. But I will also miss all of my roommates and friends. I have had a blast playing Ultimate Frisbee with everyone and going to places with everyone and talking to everyone till ridiculous hours of the night. I am going to miss the fact that I can play games with people when I have free time, and the fact that I won't be able to go to big events such as football games and basketball games with all of my friends. I will not be able to wake up and see all of my great friends and ask them how they are doing, instead I will have to call them up and ask how life has been that way. I will miss the idea of waking up and looking at the mountains every morning.
I will especially miss all of my great friends, they have made me a better person and I hope that some day I can see them all again and talk to them about how life has been. I just hope that someday I come to find friends as good as the ones I now have, and that I will be able to keep all of the friends I have now, and that someday I will once again see all of my many friends and that I will be able to recount everything that I have done and ask them what it is that has happened to them over the last 2 years. I just wish that I could see all of my friends everyday as I do now, and that I could experience the great joy I have when I am with them. I truly will miss the spirituality of the environment here at BYU, especially at all of the devotionals that I have been to. I hope that someday I will be able to recount all of this time as the greatest semester of college that I have ever had. I don't know what I would do if I had not come to BYU and met the people I have. If I had not had these great adventures with my amazing friends, then I would be devastated, I have gone to movies and activities with some many people that I have come to find out how my individual person should be and how I wish to be in my future. I hope to one day come to realize that this has been my favorite time of college life. I want to remember going to the Y and hiking up it, I want to remember my first kiss, I want to remember going to parties with people at their homes, as well as spending the night at people's homes, and staying up late doing silly things like walking around campus with great people, or even going around and thinking on my own about what my life has become. I will miss everything, but someday I will see all of the people that I have met here at BYU, just as it says in the song "God Be With You Till We Meet Again", that "God be with you till we meet again.... with his sheep securely fold you." I hope that some day that I at least will be able to see all of my friends at God's judgement bar and in the great and everlasting eternity in the Glory of God's presence. I love the Gospel and I hope to bring people unto the truth of its being. And I hope that all of my friends will keep to the Gospel principles, and that someday I will see them again in the Gospel. I endear to know that someday all of the people I have come to know and have had to leave behind, I will see again and it will be a joyous reunion, just as it was for Alma when he saw his brethren, the Sons of Mosiah, and that I will feel the love for all of my friends and family as I do now, and that it will be as if I had never left anyone behind ever. I love the Atonement and how it helps us through all of the hard times in our lives, even the times when we just feel sad to leave behind our friends.

College Life Thus Far
Hi my name is Jared, I am attending BYU as a freshmen right now and i have come to the realization that I have not written down my thoughts about life as a college student and living out here at BYU. so to start I live in a place called Heritage and I have been going to school here since around late August. i have made amazing friends. I have done amazing things like go to peoples houses and have parties there, I have gone to movies at ridiculously late hours of the night. I have stayed at friends relatives homes, I have even gone to date auctions fro a ward activity and I have also bee on a intramural Ultimate Frisbee team. I have friends that i will stay up with and talk to till late into the night, I have been working hard and going to my classes like all other students. I am basically a typical freshman.
I understand that I am also a weird person and that I can be pretty annoying a points as well. I love hanging with my friends and doing things like make Sunday breakfasts, watch movies during the day and I also enjoy the company of friends, whenever they are willing to hang out that is. I am a very normal person. I try to be kind to all those people that I meet and I try to be a very open person. I am not saying I am good at it but who cares right. Anyway College can be stressful to extremes and it can also be tons of fun, you just need to find the perfect balance of work and social life. I am pretty sure I have found that equilibrium for me, but I may be leaning more towards one end also. I just need the opinion of my friends on that one. But to be honest college life is the best, and if you haven't experienced it yet, I am telling you that you should definitely look into it. Anyway that is all.
