Hi!
Hey!
I would probably just sleep for a while haha
haha that would be the logical first step I mean the world would kinda be  terrible without others
I think it would probably be fun for like a week because you could go anywhere and do just about anything but I would get lonely after that
Yeah.  I mean you could go into all the places you normally couldn't and all that but like you said, that would get old fast and then it would just be lonely
The first place I would go would probably be the grocery store haha I love to cook and it would basically be an unlimited free shopping spree
just take all the food?
not alllll the food, but a lot haha
Haha, well you might as well because if you don't eat it, its going to waste wait, are there still animals?
hmmm I think so I wonder if electricity would work in this hypothetical situation haha
I mean, not for long because there would be no one to maintain all the infrastructure.  Everything would probably keep working for a couple of days though
In that case I would spend those first days watching all my favorite movies before I could never see them again haha What's your favorite movie?
A movie from 1960 called the Apartment you?
hmm I've never heard of it my favorite would have to be The Village by M Night Shymalan
really?  I haven't seen the end to that but I've heard mixed things about it as a whole.  But cool
The end is the most important part!!! I love it because it's a movie that really makes you think Are you an incoming freshman or are you already at BYU?
already.  here.  And I have been here a while.  You?
I'm an incoming freshman :) got any advice?
hmm... what are you planning in majoring in?
Computer Science :)
cool.  I tried that for a bit.  Have you ever programmed?
I'm in a computer science class right now haha
what languages do you know?
I've known I wanted to major in comp sci since like 6th grade so I've tried to teach myself as much as possible the past few years I mostly work with Java but i know a little python and arduino and HTML and MIT App Inventor 2 but idk if those count haha
cool.  The First classes at BYU are taught in C++ so that will be something new for you. if you are used to Java you will probably be annoyed at first since C++ is kind of lower level
I've heard their pretty similar though so hopefully everything goes ok, I've used a little c++ in a programming competition I did earlier this year
well then you should be good.  If you already know so much programming,  I have heard that you can test out of CS 142 and go right to 235 but I am not sure
I've looked into but I think I'm gonna stick with 142, I don't want to totally overwhelm myself first semester what are you majoring in?
yeah.  I had never programmed and I thought 142 was pretty easy so it should be a breeze for you
Good to know, any other class recommendations?
I mean,  for CS, you don't have a whole lot of choice your first couple years except for GEs  and for those just take what sounds interesting or easy if you are about that life
Hmm ok Are clubs a big part of BYU?
Some people get really into them.  There are a lot of different and clubs and some very weird ones,  I know CS has got a couple plus there  are just one's for normal stuff. What are you interested in?
CS is a big thing but I also love to cook and I'd love to join some sort of service organization
So for service,  there is Y serve.  They always have stuff you can do.  Often you can just walk in and they have little stuff you can do at any time.  As far as coking goes, I don't know if there is a cooking club
Y Serve is in the Wilk right? I live on the east coast so I don't get to visit campus very often
yeah.  You just go in whenever you want.  very centrally located  and all
Cool, I'll be sure to check it out
So why do you want to come to BYU?
Also kind of a random question, but I read on the website that you should expect two hours of hw for every hour of class you take, would you say that's true?
Usually no.  It depends on the class but most don't even get up to one
And I've spent my whole life being the only Mormon in my school so I think it will be nice to be around people who share my standards.
there are positives definitely
Plus my parents met at BYU and have brainwashed me to love since I was born lol And I really like Provo and the food there haha but that's not a huge reason
haha my parents met here too and I met my wife here so its a good place for romance
That's what Ive been hoping haha The dating scene isn't exactly the greatest where I live
well dating is kinda weird anyway.  A lot of people like to complain about it I guess
I just started following that provoguys instagram account and I have to admit I'm a little scared now haha
haha, why's that?
Seems like there are a lot of weird people haha weird/creepy
they call them provo all stars.  But there a lot of normal people, but those never make it on the interenet You have a lot of experience with relationships?
Zero. I mean I've been on dates but never anything serious.
Well plenty of people to date.  that is for sure
That will be a change for me haha
not a lot of options back home?
Yeah, I'm a part of a branch and the only active senior in my high school
well that sounds like BYU will be very different.
Yeah I'm looking forward to be surrounded by lds kids Not that I don't love where I live, my high school experience hasn't been the most crazy but I've learned a lot and made a few close friends :)
well that is good.  I am also from the east so I had a lot of non-member friends and sometimes I miss being around people who are diffrent
Well I gtg, my class is about to end, but thanks for the great conversation and all of your advice!
no prob
