Desperately seeking fun in Provo
A band of University of California, Irvine, Calif., college journalists look for excitement in Provo in an article in the New University and learn that fun requires understanding the culture around you.If you thought Irvine was boring, try setting foot in Provo. Don’t get me wrong, Provo has its own culture, one that revolves around morals and religious beliefs. However as an outsider, it is very difficult to say the city is exciting.
Almost everything closes at 8 p.m. on the weekdays, and ironically enough, even earlier on weekends. We didn’t cross any coffee shops in Provo, and only one bar was open past 1 a.m. And let me tell you, that bar was weird.
Even BYU students told them Provo is "pretty boring," but finally the Californians were sent to the Jump On It trampoline center in Lindon. "Sure we were the oldest ones at the place, but for $8 it was an experience we will never forget."
“Lame,” however, is subjective. Sure, if we come to Provo expecting our type of fun we will find almost anywhere else lame. You have to put yourself in their shoes, accept and enjoy their activities. Without the help of flashy entertainment and alcohol, Utahans really get creative.
