Who Needs Electricity?

Not us.
Apparently.

Last Tuesday around 5:30 my roommate and I were just sitting around the house-doing laundry, eating dinner,etc. when the power went out. Well we didn't think too much about it because there have been a few renovations happening in our complex (don't get me started on all the awkward encounters I've had with the painters).

However an hour later we realized that the other apartments all had power. It was just us that were in the dark.

We called Provo City Utilities, and found out that the girl who had lived in the apartment a year and a half ago called and said that no one lived in the apartment. So they shut it off. And told us that they couldn't help us out until normal business hours the next day.

So we did what any logical 22 year olds would do. Connected five extension cords together to supply us with a little power from the apartment next door, cleared the fridge, built a blanket fort, lit some candles, rented a scary movie and finished off the popsicles.

The next morning when we called they told us about the huge fee that is placed upon you when you try to turn your power on the same day that you set up an account. And since we're brave and poor (mostly the second one) we decided to continue to live in the dark for an extra day.

By Thursday around 5:00 pm we had power again.

Power and the memories of that "one time the power got shut off, and  we were too poor to turn it on right away... so we built a fort".

Oh college life.
