So one of my favorite stories in Provo actually was with my brother and he and a buddy of his decided to jump in their speedos and wear loincloths and then they picked up a bunch of mannequins at DI and put them in a jeep and so they were running around Provo in loincloths with these mannequins and drove up to movies eight and were like waving at people as people were coming out of movies eight in Provo and the looks and the stories and the things that happened from that were hilarious. I believe that night the police pulled them over just to make sure that they were sound of mind.

Freshman year, my first Halloween at BYU, didn't realize that a lot of people would dress up, but my roommates really wanted to dress up. And they have this kick for this movie called Monsters vs. Aliens, so we dressed up. All of us went as Bob from Monsters vs. Aliens. And initially I thought it was kind of weird, kind of lame. But it actually turned out to be a lot of fun, really funny. We got on ESPN at the football game that night. And as we walked around the library, little kids would ask to come take pictures with us, and they'd ask us for advice and stuff like that. So it actually turned out to be something that was really funny, and it was really interesting to see just people's reactions about it. So that was a funny story at BYU.

When I was at BYU, I lived in Centennial and we were in a prank war with our FHE brothers. We had stolen their cardboard figurine. I think it was a Star Wars person that I cannot remember. And to get back at us, they scaled to our third floor balcony, broke in through the sliding glass doors while we were gone for the weekend, and stole our shower curtains and shower, no excuse me, our shower curtains and our bathroom doors, and held them hostage and wouldn't give them back to us for an entire week. We ended up having to go on a treasure hunt in the surrounding areas around the apartment complex to find our bathroom doors and shower curtains.

This funny story seems to always be reoccurring. It seems like I've never learned, so take my advice here, but people, because of airpods, I can never spot them, especially walking behind them or even girls in front of me, and you know I'm just a friendly guy, I feel like, and I'd love to talk to them, or you spot a cute girl or you find a date for the weekend, you want to go talk to them, and it almost happens without fail. I'll walk up to them and be like, yo, my name is Daniel. How are you doing? What's up? What's your major? You know, the classic get to know your questions, and without fail they'll never respond because they're just in their zone listening to music, so moral of this story, make sure that the people in front of you do not have airpods in.

So I had a motorcycle my whole first year of school and it was kind of an old busted up motorcycle and that was my only source of transportation. But one of the quirks was it is if you had the high beams, the headlights on, the taillight didn't work. And so I was riding at one time and I had the high beams on and a policeman came in behind me and pulled me over and I'm like, oh great, you know, what for? And so he comes up and he talks to me and he says, well, you know, the reason I pulled you over is because your taillight's out. And I was like, oh really? So I had my hands on the handlebar and he was going back to look at it. So I flipped it on the low beams and of course the taillight came on and he's looking at it going, huh, I could have sworn the taillights didn't work. And I was like, well, you know, I don't know what to tell you, but it looks like they're working now.

I remember they told us we had a curfew to get back into the dorms so I was always afraid if I was late what would happen. Well sure enough I was late one time just a little after midnight and the doors were locked but I found out my dorm key fit the outside door so I got in.

In Deseret Towers, as a freshman, my neighbor, who I was friends with, came and pennied us in, which means you put pressure on the door from the outside, put pennies in, so it puts so much pressure you can't turn the handle, so we couldn't get out of our room. We knew it was him, so the next night we went and made some cupcakes, and on the cupcakes, everything that had a pink cupcake holder, we put X-Lax on it, and that's what we gave him that night, and then we waited until the X-Lax was supposed to take effect, and then we went and pennied him in, and it was pretty funny.

So this was back when I worked for a custodial 10 to 2 a.m. and we were cleaning bathrooms and we knocked on this girl's bathroom to make sure everyone is out no one answered and so we walked in and in the mother's room area there was this girl just out on the couch right and I had no idea what to do because I was fairly new and so I went asked my student supervisor and he was like hey watch this and he wakes his girl up he shakes her a little bit and he's like hey it's six in the morning what are you doing here and she just straight up just starts crying telling us how she like missed this and didn't turn in this and we were just kind of like uh and yeah we had to tell her that it was actually like 11 o'clock at night and she wasn't happy but honestly I still laugh about it

When I was a sophomore, I came home one night, my roommate was on a date, he and his date were on the couch, they were watching Jurassic Park, like the remade one with Chris Pratt from like 2011, 12, 13, I don't know. There's a scene in that movie where there's like some brontosaurus, it's like those long-necked dinosaurs, and they're like on the ground like dying. And if you've seen Land Before Time, like that old, old 90s animated kids movie about dinosaurs, there's like Littlefoot, it was like a baby long-necked dinosaur thing. And I knew my roommate that he was kind of a softie, so I sat down next to him on the couch and I was like, Littlefoot, no. And my roommate just started crying in front of his date. He's like, I hate you. I'm a terrible person, but I thought it was hilarious.

My senior year, I was part of the intramural ultimate frisbee team and we're trying to think of a team name and someone suggested the Camerons. There was no one named Cameron on our team but then like someone, it might have been me, was like we should be the Cameron comrades. Kind of give it like a communist feel, yeah. And like, I don't know, everyone just jumped on it. Maybe we were all dumb. It was just kind of like a dumb silly moment but like we all just jumped on it like yes Cameron comrades. In fact the rest of the semester we wore red teams because you know communism to all of our games. Like our team uniform was red and like every time we saw each other it was like comrade, Cameron, Cameron comrade, how are you? And just no matter what like on the field just passing me like Cameron or comrade. That's all we referred to each other as. Also great strategy for confusing the other team anyway. I thought that was funny.

So the missionaries, like, come onto campus all the time. Usually they're great. But there's this one, I was wearing this, like, bright red, kind of, like, latex-y coat or whatever. And I'm just, like, walking, have my AirPods in, kind of, like, not really paying attention to anything. And this, like, missionary approaching me says, I need to talk to you. And I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, like, sure, what's up? He's like, that coat brings out the color of your eyes so well. I'm like, okay, thanks. And then, like, proceeds to ask me for a referral. But, like, bruh, how does red bring out the color in, like, one's eyes? And my girlfriend was next to me and was just, like, so turned. Like, she was just so confused what the frick was going on.

I was in the Army ROTC at BYU and we had our Veterans Day Memorial thing where both the Army ROTC and the Air Force ROTC had to stand in formation for it was like two and a half hours and there's a big rivalry between the two obviously and let me just say the only person the only person who fainted was from the Air Force ROTC and so Army wins. Go Army.

So I got asked out on a date in my freshman year to go hike Timpanogos with our elders quorum president and it was supposed to be a triple date and I got asked the same day as this midnight hike was supposed to be. So I prepped everything, ended up happening that the other two girls on this date bailed. So it was me and three guys on this date on a midnight hike to Timpanogos and I find out I'm the only one with a flashlight and the people that are leading the hike have not been to this place ever and we ended up hiking like downhill and sideways for most of the night. Almost got eaten by something I'm sure. We ended up calling it quits after about three hours into the wilderness of nowhere but we survived it. So labels aren't everything people. Even the EQPs can mess up. Forgive them and also do not hike at night. Go to safety videos and look more about that. Safety first people.
