Northern Lights

Am I doing this college thing wrong or something? Because I feel like I get a lot more sleep in college than I did at home in high school. Last night was the longest my roommates and I have ever stayed up since we’ve been here in Logan and compared to most people…it wasn’t even that late. We were playing card games in the PJ lounge when my roommate Aleta brought her friend, Reece from Biology over. We decided to attempt to go out and see the Northern Lights that were suppose to be over Utah last night. So, we walked down the street a little ways…realized that we weren’t getting anywhere and decided to go for a drive away from the city lights. All six of my roommates and I piled in Reece’s van.  It was quite the adventure, poor Reece hanging out with six silly freshman girls. We found a random field and stood in it, looking around for the Northern Lights. We never saw them, but we did get a great view of the Milky Way and the stars were very bright. We could also see the city lights and the temple in the distance. The thought came to me: “You’re never lost when you can see the temple.” How true that is. We had a fun time talking and laughing, even though it was really cold. And what do college students do after going outside in the cold and star gazing? Go back to their apartment and eat ice cream of course!
