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.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

637

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
