Student Life

The Latinx Heritage Month event was a lot more exciting than I had expected. The dj was full of energy as he got the crowd pumping. The students were vivacious, and of course hungry. I enjoyed some delicious Spanish food such as tostones, fried cheese, empanadas, and a batata icy. I was thrilled when I saw they were giving out the same icy’s that my dad used to bring home. I hadn’t had one in almost a year. It was great to taste it again, especially since it brought back good memories from my childhood. My friend and I got to sign up for clubs such as the Dominican club. I am now very excited to go to one of the meetings and meet other people who share the same Dominican pride as me. I was content with both the music and the food. I was surprised how quickly the 2nd floor changed from a regular, busy college hall to a crowded party setting with great music blasting from the speakers. We grooved to the beat as we watched a few dancers get funky on the dance floor. My friend and I then took a few pictures at the photo booth which I thought was fantastic, mostly because I felt special walking on the red carpet.
