Hi!

Okay, so a lot has happened since Tuesday. I’ve got updates, pictures, and a very important piece of advice for you!

Tuesday night, Kim, Renee, and a few other 7th floor girls decided to check out Spirit Night at Hillcrest. While we were there we made tie dye shirts and painted picture frames. It was super fun (until the dye on my shirt ran and made it an awkward grayish color. I made it into a workout shirt after that – You’ve got to love Pinterest!) They had the music bumping and cupcakes and bottles of soda to tide us through the night. You guys get to see my shirt, but not my picture frame because I am NOT very artistic!

My first order of business that night was to try sushi for the very first time. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but I went with a girl I met at orientation and her friends to Formosa. Turns out… I like sushi! Don’t mind me, I’m just becoming a worldly, classy woman over here 🙂 Haha.

Afterwards, I went to see a hypnotist in the IMU with Kim and Renee. All three of us really wanted to be chosen to go onstage and I actually ended up being one of the people who did. Unfortunately, I never ended up getting fully hypnotized because every time I felt myself slip into it, the hypnotist would touch my shoulder and it would bring me out of it. After a few times of that, I made the decision to open my eyes and completely come out of it. He had me go back to my seat in the crowd and it turned out that Kim had gotten hypnotized in the crowd.

It was HILARIOUS. The hypnotist had told them their belly buttons were missing and you could see how mad Kim was getting. She thought he had stolen it so we told her to go up onstage to get it back but she told us “No, he won’t give it back. He has it.”

Following the hypnotist show, we went outside to wait in line to head to Target Takeover. There were so many people trying to get there that we had to wait for the third bus to come around. It was completely insane, but so much fun. They had games you could play to win prizes, guys could shave their heads for a $50 gift card (why wasn’t there something for girls!?), and some pretty amazing deals. It was nearly impossible to move around the store because of the number of people that were there and the check out line stretched halfway around the store. After you checked out, you were given a goody bag FULL of stuff that is really useful to a college student.

Last night, the entire Class of 2017 headed over to Kinnick Stadium for our class picture. We made a giant “I” on the field and wore matching yellow shirts. The energy on the field was so high — It was amazing. Some kids won tours of Kinnick (pink locker room!?) and others won iPads or Kindles. Unfortunately, I did not. Then again, I was expecting it… I’ve never had the greatest luck! Haha. We spent about an hour in the stadium learning the fight song and other important cheers for the games. The cheerleaders put on a special performance for us, so that was pretty cool.

 

Freshman advice: Do NOT wear your Sperries if you’re going to be doing a lot of walking! Hello, blisters!
