Spring Fling!
So this isn’t exactly academic, but it’s certainly relevant to the general affairs of LC. Last night was Spring Fling, a low-key all-student dance. Of course not everyone in the entire school showed up, but the people who were there contributed to an atmosphere of beat-filled awesome fun.
These last few weeks could easily be labeled “hell weeks” for many students; for example, I had four midterms in three days. That being said, dancing always puts me in a good mood. It’s also fun to play dress-up (as is appropriate for a biannual event such as this). For me, that meant wearing a printed dress, nice[r] shoes, and taking 1/2 million photos before we even left for the venue. For one of my friends, that meant painting his face like a clown and wearing tons of leather and a leopard-printed shirt. As can be expected, there were a mix of fashion choices at the dance: the dressed-up, the casual, and the crazy.
Forgetting the attendees for a moment, the venue itself was pretty sweet. The bus dropped us off next to an old warehouse on the other side of the river, recently renovated as a rent-able open space to cater to whatever you need. I’m sure that in the daytime that space would hardly resemble a dance floor, but I can attest that it actually felt like a club. Between the colored lights shining upwards from the glossy concrete floor and the respectable selection of delicious snacks, the event was very well-planned. And of course my music tastes are not necessarily in line with what the DJ thinks is appropriate, but I was not in any way dissatisfied with the song selection. Most importantly on this subject was his choice to play “Sandstorm”, a club classic that never gets old.
All in all, it’s easy to mark this off as the highlight of my weekend, and it was well worth the $10 entry. Thank-you very much to the students and administrators that helped put the event on!
