Always expect the unexpected at these events

Mixers And Paint Wars And Rednecks, Oh My!

To continue the process of picking a social club that fits towards you, here comes the MIXERS! Now to explain what a mixer is in my own words: A mixer is a party where you go and dress accordingly to the theme (because it's way more fun that way) and you partake in the activities and awesomeness of the club and meet new people and then decide if you would like to join that club or not. Now in reality, some people just come to get free food or a free t-shirt, but that's when we call those people "lame". Actually participating in the activities and meeting new people are what is awesome about these mixers.

The club mixers I went to were: Kappa & Phi Lambda and Epsilon & Delta's and both of them were so great! To start off with the first night of Kappa & Phi Lambda was the theme of "Redneck Olympics". To running in a sack race with garbage bags, to seeing how far you can spit a sunflower seed, the whole night was truly a Redneck's Paradise. We all dressed up in our trashiest Redneck attire and then danced the night away to "The Wobble & Cubic Shuffle". The summary of the night is that I now understand why Kappa's slogan is the "Kappa Krazies".

Night two was Epsilon & Delta's night theme of: Mardis Gras Paint Party. They had it on Big Grass and had tents lit up with green and purple Christmas lights. The event was a paint party, so it was a very colorful paint party with an addition of water balloons. I can say that everyone there that night had an exceptional time and had to spend a little longer in the shower than usual, so they can scrub the paint out of their hair. Plus, rinse off very well since there was a Slip-N-Slide that contained LOTS and LOTS of baby oil. Let's just say that I scrubbed for a good five minutes before I felt it come off! Nevertheless, I had a really great time of fun and frolly and got a really cute t-shirt as well! When it comes to water balloon fights boy versus girl style, I now understand why they say Epsilon is the most competitive. Them bulldogs don't play around!

I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the clubs and people who help set up these awesome events! This is why I'm proud to be a Faulkner Eagle! Soar Eagles.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
