Paint Knight!

It's all fun and games until you get hit in the eye.

OK, before you look at the title and start thinking, "Wow this girl already used the wrong form of night in her title," I have done this on purpose. I attend Neumann University, and our mascot is a Knight. So, all the events Neumann offers, I always try to make it "punny" (A pun that's funny.)

Anyways, over this past weekend, a few of my friends and I went to a "paint glow rage dance party" and it was awesome. It was sponsored by Neumann, but these two guys who have the company came up to hang out with us (play music and paint us) all the way from Pensacola Flordia!

At first, my friends and I walked in the building it was being held, and we saw a huge long black tarp covering the floor, and towards the front a huge DJ table, speakers, two guys, and lots of paint buckets. So we immediately started in with dancing that was already there.

It took them a little bit to actually start painting us, I guess they were waiting for people to get there. But when they started, they started hard. Within seconds people were already covered in paint head to toe. Here's the few from our party from the back angle.

It was so cool. The paint party was beyond awesome. They also had water guns, but substituted the water for some paint, and that's how they squirted all of us. Some students even got a whole bucket of paint on dumped on their heads! I have no idea how they handled that! Needless to say, it's the almost the third week of school, and I'm having the best semester ever.

Here are some things i've learned from a paint knight:

-If they play a good song you have to sing too, put your hand over your mouth, unless you want to eat paint.

-Still haven't found out if paint is edible, although it doesn't taste good!

-If you have to spit because you got nasty paint in your mouth, don't spit on the floor.

-If it gets in your eyes, it will burn, and don't wipe it with your shirt, because chances are your shirts already soaked.

-An emphasis, if you get it in your eyes, it's going to burn! It's the worst burn pain ever, worse than an eyelash in your eye!

-It takes a couple seconds to regain vision in your eyeballs.

-If you wear glasses, and you are blind without them, chances are your either going to get them ruined, or not be able to see the whole night, your decision.

-Don't try to "busta move." The floor is extremely slippery, you will fall and everybody will look at you.

-Don't wear jewelry-- Although, the paint is washable, I still have it in my rings, and some on my earrings.

-You're going to have to shampoo 3,4,5, or even 6 times.

-In the shower, you will turn the water going down the drain pink.

-Ladies, your hair will be equivalent to a mop. Whether you leave it up or down.

-If you try to squeegee out your hair, it will be nasty.

-When you go to wash your clothes from that night, wash them separately!

-Paint smells really bad when you leave the area, I guess you don't notice it when you're there.

Here are some picture of my friends and before and after the night!

Paint knight was awesome. I had a great time, and I can't wait to see what other event are in store for the squad.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
