By Jenni Chadick<\/a>, Assistant Director of Residence Life<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi folks, it’s been awhile. Residence Life has been busy the past month and half – and so has campus! While Residence Life has now successfully hired 61 student leaders for 2013-2014, placed all returning students in housing for next year, and continued to serve our current students, the rest of campus has been abuzz in the busyness that defines spring semester.<\/p>\n

Despite all these goings ons, there is always the passing comment we hear… “I’m so bored, there is nothing to do on this campus!<\/em><\/strong>” Believe it or not, there are students who get bored. It seems to be a comment I hear during conduct meetings as an excuse for the drinking\/smoking\/whatever, but more than that – some students (especially those in their first year) truly aren’t aware of how much is happening on campus. And no, they aren’t all boring lectures! I would argue most of our lectures are in fact fascinating… but I also understand the desire for some plain old fun on a Friday night. So what is there to do on campus that is easy to get to, free or low cost, and won’t land you in the conduct office? PLENTY.<\/p>\n

As an experiment of the “I’m so bored” a top-level colleague (ahem our VP Mike Segawa) commissioned a student in his office to put together a list of what’s happening on campus – simply drawn from walking around the SUB and reading posters, pursuing websites, and checking on Facebook. Take a look at the next semester and then tell that bored friend they are just being lazy then – there is so much to do! From films (Lego Movie anyone?!) to Sports (ever seen a regata?), to campus events (Luche de Sound is back for it’s third year of awesome Mexican wrestling on Saturday – complete with Tacos, and yes you can use your dinning dollars!)<\/p>\n

Seriously. There is no reason to be bored on this campus!<\/p>\n
