Is it Fall yet? Fall is said to be one of the best times to be here. With the Grove packed each Saturday, the leaf's changing colors, the smell of everything pumpkin and the air turning cooler. Here are a few key dates you'll wanna know for this coming fall semester at Ole Miss.
1. Â Move-In Week: August 13-18
Depending on what dorm/floor you live on will have different dates. Check out the housing website for the full list of details. Just prepare for the craziness yet exciting day. Cause after all this will be your home for the next nine months. Oh and you'll end up questioning how you managed to get everything in your tiny dorm. http://studenthousing.olemiss.edu/move-in/
2. Welcome Week: August 22-26
You have two types of freshmen: one that goes to the majority of the welcome week events and the other that avoids it at all cost. Yeah, getting in a ball pit with strangers might be weird but hey its welcome week! This is fun for anyone no matter what grade.
3. First football game of the season: September 10
Get pumped Rebs because football is back! We might just be playing Wofford but who cares it's finally football season. So bring out your Grove best attire and get ready for Friday night tent races and Saturday's spent in Vaught again.
4.Ole Miss vs Alabama football game: September 17
The whole week leading up to this game is called "Bama hate week" by some, and no doubt the game everyone is looking forward to this season (besides the Egg Bowl). After beating the Tide back-to-back the last two years meeting's who is ready to pack Vaught and make this the third year in a row?
5. Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment: September 9-16
It's rush week! Recruitment week is an exciting week full of songs, chants, running in heels to your next house and finding your home. Even if you aren't going through recruitment go to The Grove on bid day. It's fun to see everyone get their bids, the Gamma Chi revel and running to the houses. (P.S. your name tag will become your best friend, Don't lose it)
6. THANKSGIVING BREAK: November 21-25
It's about time we get a break (and thank gosh it's a week). You'll end up spending half of it eating and the other half sleeping. It's amazing.
7. FINALS: December 5-9
The best time of the year is near, (thxs Christmas) and also the worst time of the year is upon us (thxs finals). Study and power through; remember a 6-week winter break is waiting at the end of finals, and your GPA does not define you. Also don't forget the coffee!
