What the HECK is BYU?

Anyone who has met me inevitably realizes one thing: I'm sort of in love with BYU. For those of you who have absolutely no idea what BYU is, no worries, you're not alone. If I had a dollar for every time I had to explain BYU to someone... well, I'd have something like 16 dollars. But the numbers aren't important!! What's important right now is that I adequately explain BYU to you, so I'll never have to explain it again (one can hope, right?).

BYU stands for Brigham Young University. I know, quite a mouthful, right? It's a school located in the quaint city of Provo, Utah. The campus is overlooked by a gigantic Y imprinted on the side of a mountain. There's a long, complicated story as to why exactly there's a singular Y on the side, but for the sake of your sanity (and for my fingers, which are starting to cramp up), I'll just leave it at that.

I'm just gonna come right out and say it. I'm a mormon. I know it, I live it, I love it (anyone who's LDS is undoubtedly cracking up right now at that insider). BYU is a school that was established by the church back in 1875 (the fact that I know that is a perfect demonstration of my devotion to this school).

Anyways, from a very young age I've been exposed to that school. My parents went there, my brother recently graduated from there, and my sister just got accepted there. So it's safe to say I have a sufficient amount of pressure on me to attend that university. But it's my dream school, and I'm up for the challenge.

What do I love about BYU? So many things... The atmosphere, the Wasatch mountains, the BYU Creamery ice cream. But more than anything, I love the sports. I'm about the biggest BYU football and basketball fanatic there is. I can tell you what year they won the national championship, who the athletic director is, how many freckles are on Taysom Hill's nose (I can't actually tell you that last one, let's be honest, that'd be more than a little creepy).

My passion for BYU has inspired quite a few drawings, a lot of which I've given away, unfortunately. However, I still have a few of the mediocre ones, I hope you guys like them :)
