Student Life Activity

Student Life Activity

For the student/campus held event, I chose to go to the open mic night. It promised to be a night of fun, joy, and relaxation, as it was a way for students to loosen up before midterms. It started at 7:30pm and anyone could go up and perform. After a few dark poems and acoustic singing, it proved to hold up as a fun night. Everyone was enjoying the warm evening as we listen to live songs performed by our peers. However being that the presidential race had just ended the night before, once enough people came, it turned into a ranting session. Having no real side on the matter, it seemed odd that it was a night that promised fun and excitement, and it turned into anger, jealousy, and sadness. After about 30 minutes of this had passed, I considered leaving. But after all the time I invested I knew i had to stay until the end. After the politics, the night once again proved to hold up to its promises and we continued singing and dancing. This sparked a loving relationship between myself and the programs the students have put on, convincing me that these were the events worth going to. Since then Ive gone to multiple student held activities like Pie Eating contests, the building of gingerbread houses, and also movie night. These type of activities are essential for the growth and stability of a student, as it shows the brighter side of college life.
