On and Off Campus Activities

Hi Everyone!

So this week's blog post is going to be all about all of the cool weekend activities offered on campus and some Erie hot spots!  With winter in full swing here, I figured it'd be nice to know what you can do so you're not stuck in your dorm room or apartment all winter.

On Friday night, a bunch of my friends and I went to "Are You Smarter Than a Professor," a co-sponsored event with the Student Activities Council (SAC) and the Mercyhurst College Honors Program.  My roommate Kaleigh was a judge, my friend Joe was the host, and my friends had professors competing.  Lucky for my team, we WERE smarter than the professors!

Wii Just Dance!

My friend from home was visiting me for the weekend, so I decided to take her to The Breakfast Place for breakfast, definitely an Erie staple! It's really good food at an affordable price, and just down the road from Mercyhurst; a college student's dream!  We also walked around the Millcreek Mall and later that night, I also had some friends over to play board games and Just Dance on the wii because my birthday was on Monday.

And at 12AM Monday morning, my "21 and up" friends and I went to the Cornerstone (the school's local bar) for my first legal drink!  It was a lot of fun because I saw a lot of Mercyhurst friends in addition to the ones I went with.

All in all, a very busy weekend AND long weekend with no school on Monday because of MLK, Jr. Day.  Hope this helps show that there are plenty of fun things to do on and off campus!
