It’s no secret that BYU-Idaho has an interesting dating culture. The university itself has been nicknamed BYU-“I do!” However, being on a small campus in a small town, it has been proven that it can be hard to be creative with dates. So here’s 7 dates you or your roommates have probably been on, whether you realize it or not.

1. The R Mountain Hike- An easy hike with a view of an oh-so-beautiful desert. (Not). Accompanying awkwardness is almost guaranteed. “Will he hold my hand? Should I just hold his?” “What if it’s too hot and I get all sweaty and gross?” “Hello, pit stains. How romantic.”

2. The Burg- A small burger joint with milkshakes that are to die for. Accompanied by a burger, this is a pretty good meal. Unless you’re on a first date and don’t want to be seen stuffing a juicy hamburger into your face.

3. The Devo Date- Every Tuesday, at 2:10 p.m., there is a huge campus wide devotional. They file into the I-Center just to hear a speaker give a talk. Some people even come dressed in their Sunday best to this event. And many will send a text Monday night saying, “Hey! Are you sitting by anyone for devo tomorrow?” Don’t pretend like you haven’t, because you probably have. And it was probably awkward trying to talk to your “devo date” while the speaker was trying to tell you something about your eternal salvation.

4. Temple Walk- Walking the temple grounds is quite the romantic and spiritual excursion. For couples wanting to contemplate life, or contemplate the spirituality of their date as a future marriage partner, this would be the perfect thing. If you’re into that.

5. Pizza Pie Café- This place is a gift from the heavens above. It’s a pizza buffet with every kind of pizza you could want—even dessert pizza. It makes for a perfect group date with friends. It’s especially fun to have eating contests, or to build a Jenga tower out of pizza crusts.

6. “Wanna watch a movie at my apartment?”- This question has been asked countless times, especially in the winter when there is not much to do around Rexburg. This question should probably be phrased something more like, “Hey wanna come over? We can put a movie on and this will just be an excuse for me to cuddle with you and hold your hand. And when my roommates leave, I might even kiss you. But I’ll probably tell you later that I’m actually not interested in you at all and all that was for nothing.”

7. Gardens- The gardens by the Rick’s building are nothing short of gorgeous. It’s a quiet place with lots of privacy. However, unless both people are horticulture majors, you’re probably not going to spend lots of time looking at plants, just a hunch. It’s a widely known fact that the Rick’s Gardens are the school’s best make out spot.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
