Going to school is a dominantly Mormon town definitely has its downs. But, during the summer, it is hella fun... All the Mormons go home. This summer I found myself living in the dorms on campus and taking a few classes. The day I moved into my dorm, culture shock had definitely set in. I seemed as if I was the only white American girl in the building. Everyone across the hall was Asian, there were some Persians down the hall and a lot of Dominicans living upstairs. Feeling much like the minority (for once) I locked myself in my room for the first month of the summer. It wasn't until about 5 weeks ago I decided to get to know the people I live with. I'm not gonna lie, I love not having white Americans around me. Everybody here for the summer is so rich in culture and accepting of everybody. I constantly find myself learning new things about the world, about life, and about myself daily. My best friend, Arevik, is from Armenia. She is so bad ass. I've also got some great guy friends, Moji, Reza, and Mak Daddy, who are Persian. And one of the most hilarious people I know, Jun Hee Han, is from Korea. I have no idea how I ever lived without this kid in my life! These people have made my summer hella tight and the party never ever ends in da summa time. I love how everybody is accepting in the summer time.
