Grow up!!
Okay, as many of might know we are having some problems ion our Student Development class, with lets day the students. Now, I know that Student Development isn't the greatest, most exciting, class ever. It is rather boring and dull, and I could think of a lot better things to do with that 50 minutes. I could organize my music, create my facebook account, write more blogs on sports, and maybe do my homework. But that is besides the point. It is class that we signed up for and now, just have to deal with having.
We are all in college, not to mention here at Brigham Young University. We all must have had some sort of maturity to get in here. We had to get approvals from quite a few different people, write essays, and a few other things to get in here. So, here we are at BYU and we can't act are age. I mean we can't shut out mouths long enough for our teachers to start class. Lets all just grow up. All of us are at least 17 if not older, you mean to tell me that you can't shut your mouth long enough to allow people to teach you something. I taught a primary class this summer and I could except them to not be quite and to make some comments here and there. They were six and seven year olds. Here I am at a college, ten years older then them and I can't believe that I am seeing the same attitude out of college kids.
Now, if this was UNM, a university were I am from, that doesn't even require a high school diploma, I would understand. But this is BYU, were almost 95% of us our members, probably more. I actually fear for the church right now. Imagine what a discussion would be like from a pair of missionaries from this class. They can't sit still, can't pay attention, can't shut their mouth while their companion is bearing their testimony. Oh wait that is different. Why? When dealing with church things it is different. Well, how much of the tithing in the church goes to this university? We start with a prayer in class and a hymn? What is so different? We are at a school where secular and non-secular things are taught at the same time, hand in hand. There is almost no difference at all from class then a Sunday school, except the fact that we aren't focused on Christ as much. I just think everyone needs to grow up, so GROW UP!!1
