What to do with your free time is a constant question for many college and university students. Often times when I talk to friends about their respective schooling experiences sometime during the conversation they say something similar to “There’s not much to do in..insert city name” Every time I hear an exclamation like this I find my self wondering if these people are just not aware of what’s available around them.
Every city I’ve ever been to is immersed in a culture and opportunities unique to the area. I’ve found that the college arena holds many opportunities for to partake of sports, activities, service, movies, plays, concerts, etc. Since my first semester at BYU-Idaho I’ve been continually amazed at the opportunities to be involved as well as the wide variety of entertainment and activities available.
Not only do we have wonderful concerts, stage plays and musicals but we also have a bi-weekly classic movie night, monthly foreign film night, as well as various Center Stage performances where the school brings in a wide variety of performers and entertainers, dance concerts, etc.
To anyone who says that there’s nothing to do where they’re currently stationed – to you I say to you, look around you buy a $3 ticket and go enjoy some culture!
For anyone who has ever attended a Univeristy you will know what I mean when you say December can just stink sometimes. Not only is it the time that you’ve been dreading all semester with Finals approaching. But, it’s also the time where you’ve recently spent lots of great time with family for Thanksgiving and you want nothing more than to be home for the holiday season to celebrate Christmas.
For some reason Christmas Lights and decorations seem to make being away from home and working hard at school more bearable. I’ve recently made it a point to drive up and down Main Street here in Rexburg at least 2 or 3 times a week to enjoy the small but festive display of lights.
So, for all you students struggling through finals – my recommendation for you would be to go out and find a local display of Christmas joy and find a way to bring a little more joy into your day.
