2010 has begun and maybe you have found yourself already falling back into the same old routine as last semester, just as I have.
It’s time I let you in on some unique things this campus has to offer. Maybe some of these activities will give you a new hobby or interest for this semester.
Did you know a good portion of the produce used on campus is grown at our own Pullen Farm? You can help grow produce at the farm and actually take part in growing the food you eat every day.
I understand produce may not be something you like to be involved in.
So instead, there are many things to take part in at the Curris Center.
Each Tuesdays, there is a free movie shown in the theater - did you see the word, “free”?
It is set up by students and run by students for students.
Why pay for a movie when you can see one here on campus for free? It’s known as Tinsletown Tuesdays.
While you’re in the Curris Center, you should check out the cool areas where you can stop and take a seat and maybe catch some television or sports stats in between classes.
You can even take a nap on one of the overstuffed couches in the lounges if a nap will fit into your schedule.
Last but not least is the wellness center. You already know it has a pool, basketball courts, racquetball courts, weight lifting areas and an indoor track, but do you know of the other things offered at the wellness center?
For those of you who like group activities and exercise, there are a few classes that may interest you, from spinning and Pilates to aerobics.
For those who want something new or different, there is a hip hop class on Tuesdays that is fun, exciting and a great time. The multi-purpose rooms are also great for doing your own thing.
You can also check out the Dance-Dance Revolution mats and play the notoriously addictive video game if you so choose.
There is nothing like a big-screen television, video games and friends to make any evening exciting.
This campus has a lot to offer and there are many things out there that you can do. You just have to look for them.
Explore your campus and do all you can while you are here.
This is your time to have direct involvement in not just your life, but the lives of others.
Take advantage of your campus and have some fun.
