It’s already that time of year again and the bagpipes are warming up. All the festivities are about to take place in two weeks on April 20-22 and include plenty of Scottish heritage from bagpipes and dancing along with lots a food and people. It’s a time when plenty of organizations are out offering diffenrent arts and foods for fundraisers and just a time when alums and students are all out. The attractions don’t end at the close of the Fest in the afternoon though. There’s a concert on Saturday night with a party following hosted by the Kappa Sigma’s, which always attracts plenty of students and this time with some alums as well. It should all be a good time for all and is always a mark for the end of the semester coming (can’t wait!).
It’s been a little while since my first week here on campus, but I was just thinking about how it was one of the best weeks that I’ve had here at Lyon. It definately had its dull points with all the orientations that are required, but you do get some useful information out of the sessions. The great thing though was meeting all the new people. The quad is a great place to go outside and hang out with all your new classmates because it’s kinda the central spot between all the freshman dorms. Also, if you want to meet some of the upperclassmen, the apartments are just around the corner, and house many juniors seniors and some sophmores. Along with them are the Greek organizations who are always ready to meet the new freshmen. Along with all the new people you’ll meet are the new responsibilities that you might not have had before with being on your own and everything that includes: no one to make sure you get up, a roommate, and…laundry (not that bad after your first time). Definately though, stay your first weekend and be sure to get out and meet new people. It’s the best way to get over any homesickness you might have and really just make your first week here a lot more fun.
