It is that time of the semester for Dorm Wars again. Dorm wars is a Lee University tradition in which students living on campus engage in friendly competition to benefit charitable organizations. Dorm Wars is that time of the year we see all the dorms competing against each other through various obstacle courses. This would be my third dorm Wars at Lee University; time has really flown by. Medlin Hall (my dorm) was crowned Champion last year after B.O.B won four years straight. So,last year was really awesome for my Dorm and most especially for the BOYS AND GIRLS club. Medlin Hall came 2nd this year, however, it was really nice and fun competition.

Dorm Wars is always filled with this special type of buzz that brings the whole together. The cheers from different dorms, the chants, and the atmosphere is just incredible and wonderful to be in. The venue is filled with different and wonderful displays created by different dorms. The colors and painted faces from the Dorms creates an extraordinary and beautiful display. The introduction during Dorm Wars is always one to watch out for; from acrobatic displays to music throwbacks to dubstep dances. Dorms come together to compete for their charity organizations of thier choosing, so DORM Wars is not just a competition, it is one that fights for a cause in Cleveland. Lee University uses DORM WARS to support and help charities in Cleveland, promoting community.

Dorm Wars brings the whole school together, which usually have awesome moments created. I took my camera with me and I decided to share my top 11 favorite moments I captured during the event.

1) Dr. Tagayuna wonderfully crossing over the bar!

2) The girl in the rabbit costume involved in the cart race!

3) Two students running in solidarity, what uniformity!

4) The Acrobatic and beautiful display from a student in Bowdle/O'Bannon.

5) The back wave from the men of medlin!

6) The showmanship from the Guys of Brinsfield Row

7) The agility!

8) Victory so near and sweet.

9) The beautiful display of flags promoting diversity from the Girls of SNORA

10) The energy and passion after B.O.B's awesome victory!

11) The acrobatic jump and selfie in the air!

This year's Dorm Wars was indeed a very passion filled and beautiful one, the whole school coming together to each compete for a cause. Lee University never stops giving back and that is one of the reasons, I love my school. Congratulations to Sharp Davis and Bowdle/O'Bannon.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
