She did it again

Welp she did it again folks. Jill went and got herself published in the Daily U again. If you would like to know what she had to say just take a little gander below:

Saved by the Bell

Because of the recent flood of letters complaining about the BYUSA elections, it seems that many people think the only reason people run is to win the scholarship and to pad their resume, which will help them get a job, get married and fine happiness and success (as suggested by the author of the March 4 letter, “Life Without BYUSA”). While I see no problem with joining together as a student body – or at least 10 percent of a student body – to support someone in achieving their dream of campus-wide fame as the figurehead leader of BYUSA, perhaps we should make sure their motivations are not tainted by promises of dollar signs and dates.

In an episode of “Saved by the Bell” (Season 1, Episode 13, “The Election”), Zack only runs for student body president for the free trip to Washington. When Mr. Belding tricks him into believing the trip has been canceled, Zack realizes he doesn’t actually want the job. Maybe we should trick all the candidates into believing they will receive no personal benefits from winning the election. Then only those with the purest of intentions will remain to be the face of BYU. But I ask you, would it really be so horrible for us to help these souls improve their resumes and dating lives?

There you have it. You may notice this is not the first time Saved by the Bell was used in Jill's letters to the editor. she says 'it's just that art imitates life.' Yes, she just referred to SBTB as art. I really believe that all of our best life lessons can be learned from SBTB.

P.S. Recently I’ve been feeling newly committed to our blog. I mean I sit in front of a computer all day and I rely on others blogs for entertainment to get me through the day so I feel I should be giving a little to the blogging universe rather than always just taking. We’ll see how long this feeling lasts.

One more thing. I had to speak in church yesterday. I hate speaking in church because of the amount of nervousness that overtakes me but yesterday wasn’t terrible. I only had one awkward moment where I lost my place and my face turned red but whatev. I would just like to give a shout out to Darren who helped me spice up my talk with sports analogies and another shout out to Cara who managed to included Zac Efron’s swoop bangs in her talk. It’s just that few can manage to get their bangs to look so good.
