Almost Over!

Hey Washington College! We are officially down to two weeks left! *insert cheers here*! With classes winding down and hammering us with work, it is a hectic time in the office of student activities! We had some vicious poker action yesterday, complete with mood-setting poker lights. When I left at midnight, there were still about 9 players left! Yikes! Well, congrats to all involved, it was fun and exciting! On sunday, the Office of Student Activities is sponsoring Ride For Mom down at Wilmer Park with Andrew Laux! It starts at 9 and goes to 1 pm! Be there because I will! Have a wicked hot friday WAC! Adios!

7th Inning Stretch

The semester is winding down, and we are in the home stretch with the last couple weeks upon us. But, that does not mean we are not busy-busy getting ready to end the semester with a bang. In the next two weeks, we have multiple events, the first ever Student Center Triathlon, the second annual WAC Iron Chef, the third annual Leadership Celebration, and the second annual Mayday Revolution. To go along with those traditions, we have the last open mic night tomorrow evening and the last dance of the semester on Saturday, April 24th. Needless to say, it is going to be an exciting last couple weeks.

Also, i would like to give a shout out to Alex Insel and the Traditions Committee for all their work with Survivor. From the feedback, the people who participated thoroughly enjoyed the event and found it to be one of the best events they have witnessed at Washington College. Alex Insel and Emma Schlauch (the new Director of Traditions, because Alex Insel is studying abroad and won't be here next semester...) put in a ton of time preparing for this event, and should be applauded for their efforts. Throughout the semester, Alex spent tremendous amounts of time and energy putting every detail of Survivor together, and it turned out to be better than advertised. Well done Alex, Emma, and the Traditions Committee, well done!

The energy on campus is awesome right now!

WAC Survivor is about to begin in just a few hours!!! Students will be completing outrageous missions and contests in an effort to win $1,000. The event will be happening out on the campus Green and other areas around campus. The the times, locations, and challenges are all posted on The Egg. So, make sure to come out to support your friends and fellow WAC students. This event is brought to you by the SEB's Traditions Committee and is funded by the OSA.

Beach Bash will be on Saturday night from 8-12 down by the boat house. There will be buses taking students there from campus. They will run every thirty minutes and will be picking students up in front of the CAC. This event is brought to you by WAC frats an is sure to be an awesome night!

Enjoy the weekend and be safe!

As I’m sure you remember (because you read this blog religiously and have memorized every single line), last semester I wrote about “Mr. Mid-Semester Blues.”

Well today, I’m going to tell you about his second cousin twice removed on his mother’s, father’s, brother’s side…. “Mr. End of the Semester Blues.” That’s right, the year is coming to a close, and as the final projects and papers pile up, Washington College students are looking for a reprieve from the madness.

AND THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN!!!

The year may be ending, but it’s certainly not over yet, and we’ve got the ridiculously fun events and programming to prove it. The WAC Series of Poker is going into its final week before the championship tournament. The competition has been intense, and at this point, anyone could go home with grand prize! Also, the SEB will be hosting WAC’s first ever Survivor Competition. Director of Traditions, Alex Insel, and his team have spent countless hours planning and amazing, incredibly fun two days of competition for the Survivor participants. Now, I know all of this sounds wonderful and you’re thinking to yourself, “How could it possibly get any better than this?”

WELL IT DOES….

In the next couple of weeks the OSA and SEB will be hosting: Iron Chef WAC, the Student Center Triathlon, the May Day Revolution, and THE LEADERSHIP CELEBRATION.

So, join as we fight to defeat Mr. End of the Semester Blues with one awesome event after another!

All love. ALWAYS.

Another semester is quickly coming to an end. there is a lot still going on at washington college though. in the next few weeks there are several big events including beach bash this weekend and big man on campus next Wednesday. Also next week is the musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. The cast and crew has worked incredibly hard for the last 3 plus months to bring this production to campus. It is ridiculously funny and has quite a few plot twists. The SEB will also be hosting the survivor competion this weekend which will have parts filmed. while there are a number of other events through april the SEB will be hosting the second annual MAYDAY REVOLUTION on april 30th to kick off the mayday events. this event will be held in old kent circle and will feature a number of musical acts as well as lunch and big blowup things. So I look forward to seeing everyone at some if not all of these events. enjoy the rest of the semester. Thanks
