The welcoming party by the USG was a great way to kick-start the academic year. When entering the party, I was greeted by the buffet table. The smells of the foods served for us brought a breeze of the tropical experience. As I made my way to the end of the buffet table, I felt that I was slowly drifting away from New York and landing somewhere between Saint Croix and Saint Thomas. With my food in my hand, I entered the room to find that it too tried to further take me away from the Empire State.

At the end, next to the stage, on my right was a smoothie bar. No longer gastronomically was I anywhere near the City. To the left of the stage was a sand-bar. In center of the room were the tables awaiting the main participants of the gathering, us the students. The sound of the steel drum penetrated and drowned the voices of my fellow students.

It was then that I realized this was going to be fun.
