A couple weeks ago during a Thursday club hours I went to the lobby around 12:30 to watch as Candace got hit with a pie in the face. While waiting for that to take place I spent some time at the Accounting Society booth as I saw some kids playing a version of beer pong (this of course was water pong) which had caught my eye at first glance. When I walked over to chat up the people manning the booth to ask what the pong was for they told me they were raising money for an upcoming seminar they are planning to hold with speakers and food. After a few minutes of talking I was also informed that club members also meet recruiters in addition to the speakers and get a solid insight look into the world of accounting on a professional scale and any and all potential that it holds with the students who join the club. The deal with the pong was you pay $1 for 2 shots and if you hit a shot you would get a free bubble tea or you could just buy the bubble tea outright for $3. My natural abilities from my teenage years kicked in and I ended up leaving club hours with a bubble tea and signed up to get emails and notifications for future events and news with the Accounting Society.

Last Thursday during club hours two freshmen who were voted by their peers in their respective individual seminar classes performed their monologues for other freshman to hear. Altogether there were about 8-10 monologues, each one discussing a myriad of topics that are going through most freshman minds through the first semester of college. It spanned from topics regarding the irony of freshman seminar taking our precious club hours away from us while encouraging us to join more clubs and meet more people to women facing abusive relationships. The three best in my opinion were the three from our block which were performed by Michael, Vinny, and Emily. Michael tied Pokemon to life eloquently while Vinny showed extreme courage and talent by going up there and rapping a very well thought out and composed rap. The most powerful one hands down was Emily’s which spoke about the very real issues of anxiety and depression people face daily.
