Spring Fest! =)

Hi Everyone,

Every year, Mercyhurst Student Government and the Student Activities Council put on the much anticipated Spring Fest!  As an MSG Executive Board member, myself and the other MSG E-Board and SAC members had the pleasure of making this huge event happen on campus.  Needless to say, I wasn't expecting much sleep this weekend-- it was a lot of early mornings and late nights with non-stop running around, but what a memorable weekend!

What a weekend... but we did it! =)

We met Frankie Muniz!

On Friday, we had the Spring Fest concert; this year we had five bands-- The Romantic Era (a local band), Andy Grammar, You Hang Up, Parachute, and our big band, the Plain White T's came to perform in our athletic center.  Frankie Muniz is actually the drummer in the band You Hang Up, so it was pretty awesome that Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle was at our school!  The Plain White T's were also great-- we all got so excited to hear the radio hit "Hey There Delilah," and for them to be singing that song in our small school was really awesome.

On Saturday; we had a novelties, prizes, food, and other fun activities going on all afternoon.  This year's theme was Luau, so we also had Polynesian Dancers/Fire Throwers come perform.  We had a 27 foot inflatable rock climbing wall, an inflatable obstacle course, cotton candy, chocolate fondue, t-shirt tie dying, spin art frisbee making, and lei making, to name a few things!  We also had prizes that you could try to win; this year it was a 32" HDTV, a digital camera, or the "cash cube," which was when you tried grabbing money that was flying around in this cube.

Lookin' good Louie!

So that's this year's Spring Fest in a nutshell!  It's always in May right before finals (which start a week from this Monday, AHH!!!!) so it's a great way for everyone to get their minds off of school work temporarily to have some fun before we all prepare to study hard so we can start our summer.  It's hard to believe that in a week and a half, I will have officially completed half of my college career-- we're not kidding when we say that the college years fly by!

Here's to working hard and playing hard... 

After all, it's all about balance! =)
