I remember when I first moved to BYU parking had a fee and UTA was free. I lived almost 2 miles from campus with a bus stop really close, so I took the free bus and never bought a parking pass. I loved it. I was So Sad the day I found out they were switching those.

UVU is taking an interesting approach, in that most of its parking is pay, but it has a single lot of about 2,000 spaces that is free. BYU could do something similar, leaving the stadium lot free for those willing to hike, and make the rest pay.

Unfortunately, the decision about free parking comes from either the First Presidency or the Quorum of the 12 (somebody feels strongly that students should not have to pay for it), so it probably won't change anytime soon.

Yeah, I think there's also been pushback from Provo City, since limited campus parking pushes the problem onto the surrounding residential streets (a problem UVU doesn't have as much, due to its location). But a scarcity of parking is the right general idea, even if it would require more coordination between the university and the city.yayfulness wrote:Unfortunately, the decision about free parking comes from either the First Presidency or the Quorum of the 12 (somebody feels strongly that students should not have to pay for it), so it probably won't change anytime soon.
Also, it's weird that sometimes BYU is willing to work with Provo and sometimes they aren't. Free parking helps Provo (in a localized way at least), but taking out Campus Drive has been a mess for the city.

Referring to the HRCB as the Kennedy Center is a nice illustration of synecdoche. I usually call it that and assume people can infer what I mean.

Very few things make me as happy as learning the technical term for something.

Only BYU friends, though. No one else. ; )
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Also, also! The new cookie dough Oreos are not the delicious experience you might expect and taste like things that are coffee flavored. Clearly there's a hidden coffee agenda in our wholesome, 'Merican Oreos. Think of the children!
(seriously, though, they are disappointingly not tasty)

"Princeton mom" says women should spend 75% of their time in college looking for a man.

Re: Answers I liked
I saw a similar post on the YMF group. She has a good point about the fertility clock, but the way she sees single women as simply "spinsters" or cat ladies annoys me (in her letter http://shine.yahoo.com/love-sex/susan-p ... 25916.html). Plenty of single women have fulfilling lives. It's great to promote motherhood and marrying and having a family, but I think it's rude to diss people who don't choose not to or who can't/haven't had the chance to have that lifestyle.

It doesn't matter what happened to get you to today, beyond shaping your understanding. What really matters is where you go from here.
