Facts of life in Rexburg 101

So I am in Rexburg. After being here 3 days, I have already learned a multitude of valuable lessons.
1) J-Walking is the only way to cross streets here.
2) You have to choose whether you want to look cute or be warm. (Any guesses on my choice? Hehe)
3)"Ring Checks" are a necessity before you talk to someone of the opposite sex. (It is really funny to see people obviously look at your hand too. Bahaha)
4) People will often ask where you are from and what your major is before adding... Oh yeah. What's your name?
5)"Community food" goes really fast in my apartment.
6)There is such a thing as a free lunch, so take that Ms. Fischer!!! (HS Econ teacher.)
7)Expect to be hated by girls when they find out you have a boyfriend.
8)Cakewalks can be extremely competitive and even involve strategy and sexism.
9)Random strangers are usually friendly and will even joke with you. (I like this.)
10)There is no such thing as the freshmen 15 when you have to walk this much, uphill, in the cold.
Doing my best to share my education with all,

Much Love!!
