It's the day before Fall Semester 2009 ended and I was in the laundry room ready to switch my clothes from the washer to the dryer when all of a sudden EVERYTHING went DARK. Yes, the power went out, but not only at the Ridge, but ALL of Rexburg, Rigby and St. Anthony; it was as Craig likes to say, "total chaos!" I started to feel my way around the Ridge laundry room and I made it to the door, when I realized that the door to the laundry room was electric...I WAS TRAPPED! I finally managed to push the door open and looked outside to saw...
It was crazy, EVERYONE in Rexburg jumped in their cars and started driving around, to experience it all in the DARK.
There is nothing more fun than a college town loosing power and the students going CRAZY. We blasted music in my roommates car and had a dance party in the parking lot...
All in all it was a pretty AWESOME night. I'm sorry to any of those students who were taking tests, or still had homework, or papers to write. But Rexburg with no power was LEGIT.
