I'm feeling a bit cheated nowadays. I work really hard, I promise. And I sorta want to be able to bring my kids back to BYU and show them all the places that I've done things, and how cool this building was, and all the nooks and crannies.
But the Widstoe will be torn down right after I graduate. Seriously almost as soon as I set foot outside the protective embrace of BYU's undergraduate-ness. Even if I take an extra year than I should. I spend my whole life in there. I've changed my frog lab more than anything. I have a legacy already! And it'll be gone.
And let's not even mention my freshman dorms. My parents both lived in Heritage. My sister lived in my exact dorm. My brother lived around there too. I leave the place, and they tear it down within a year. It's gone. A hole right now, really. Not that my freshman year in those dorms was really something to celebrate and pass on, but it was Heritage, IN my heritage! How cool is that?
My existence at BYU soon won't exist.
Also, not that this has any affect on my decisions thus far in life, but the new age for sister missionaries? I turned 21 on September 29th, 2012. Literally one week later, on October 6th, 2012, they changed the age for sister missionaries from 21 to 19. Then when I thought I'd have potentially a year at BYU with my 18 year old little brother, they changed the mission age for boys from 19 to 18. He could now leave before his freshman year of college.
It seems I am exactly the wrong age.

You may still get the year with Bryce. From our chats in seminary, it sounds like he's still thinking about doing the 1 year of college thing and then leaving... I can't imagine how totally jarring this must be for other young men like him who are graduating this year and actually took the time to plan out what they were going to do with the year before their mission.
