Mardi Gras Break Nostalgia

Hey Everyone!
So, Mardi Gras break is over and im already day dreaming about it. We only have about two months left of school and i can already feel the heat coming. Papers and projects and presentations OH MY!! On one hand im excited to be back on campus with my friends but on the other hand i would much rather be laying on the couch watching tv. However, Im also excited about the Athletic Open House this saturday and having prospective students on campus.

The next few weeks will probably be hectic but im sure i'll make it out alive....hopefully.
Until next time...Adios Amigos! :)

Intramurals

Hey everyone its Meg here updating you on what's going on around campus. Tonight is going to be an exciting night because it is the start of softball season for intramurals!

Intramurals are a great way to get involved on campus. Everyone is invited to participate in the fun just grab a group of friends, make a team name, and sign up. Intramurals start in the fall and go through spring. Each year the sports played are a little bit different; this year we had basketball, dodgeball, and the SUB Olympics. The SUB Olympics consisted of various activities that go on in the SUB like pool, darts, and ping pong. This spring they have already had soccer season, today marks the start of softball season, and in April we'll have beach volleyball season on Jones Rice Field. There is an overall competition for teams that compete in all of the sports. If a team finishes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd then they earn a certain number of points. At the end of the year the team with the most points is the overall intramurals winner.

Softball is the most well participated in and by far one of the most competitive intramural sport. Some of the teams are made up fraternities, sororities, sports team that are in their off season, people from choir, faculty, and there are teams of friends who just wanted to make a team. Games are every night Monday-Thursday for the month of March. For students participating I know intramurals is a great way to relieve stress after a long day of schoolwork, and for students not participating if they are ever in need of some entertainment then they can stop by Jones Rice to watch teams play. I like to go out and watch when the weathers nice. There are always people watching to talk to and socialize with. The games are only an hour so it is a great way to take a study break.

I know what I'll be doing on my study break tonight!
