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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
