Harold B. Lee Library “Spices” It Up

Old Spice parody for the Harold B. Lee Library at BYU. I’ve never been good about studying at libraries. This is great…I’m still laughing.

Paulo Coelho’s “The Pencil”

Paulo Coelho is one of my favorite authors of all-time. The Alchemist is a book that I recommend to most of my friends and to anyone graduating from college or graduate school–it certainly changed my course in life a few years ago.
