"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Honor Code?

~There is a purpose to our lives that each day tugs at our sleeve as an annoying distraction. ~Robert Brault

Alright, so I go to BYU. We have an honor code. This is all very well known. Every student here has to agree to follow the rules. And every year we have to get our ecclesiastical endorsements renewed. So, in my opinion, there is no reason for there to be problems with it.

I am honestly shocked by how many immodestly dressed girls I see on campus! There are a lot of short skirts and tight pants or just leggings. It's not terribly shocking if you've been to a high school lately. Or even just to the store really. But at BYU? I like to feel like we don't have to deal with as many of the same problems as we would at any other university.

But I guess everyone has problems everywhere. So I can't really say anything, huh? Sometimes it's just hard for me to believe what I see and hear on campus because we have this idea that everything is good and clean and appropriate at BYU.
