University Program Board

So, I just finished watching an event that UPB hosts. It was amazing! The show was called the extraordinist. This person was mind blowing entirely. He would ask you to think of anything without telling him. Then he would figure it out. It was awesome and freaky at the same time. He randomly said someone's name, then he began to say that persons home address. The most amazing thing probably though was, when he pulled four random people and asked them to come up with an imaginary car; make, model, color, license plate #, and a price. After we heard what they said, he pulled out an envelope that he had written on before he even reached SRU. On this envelope was the exact same thing that the four people said.

Other than this event, UPB hosts many other amazing activities. UPB is broken up into sub groups that concentrate on certain things. There is, Major events like the big fall and spring concerts of main stream artists. Lectures, which brings people with interesting life stories that have moral. Weekend events, Arts and entertainment, Cultural Diversity, Public Relations, and University events all come up with things to entertain you through out the semester. So for those days you get bored, you should have no excuse. If you join UPB, you can put a voice in to what will be coming to SRU. So I strongly encourage you to join UPB, so you can see what you want, or just so you can have some experience for your major, with working with contracts and publications.

Welcome Back

I have just returned back to the Rock from the long one month holiday break. As much as I love to go home and reunite with my friends, the break gets to me quick. Having one month to let your body clear of any train of thought is always good, but if your like me, your hometown might not have much to offer to keep you occupied. So after two weeks of being home, I was already tired of sleeping long into the day and staying up late into the night. Everyone talks about the freshman fifteen, that never happens to me at school but at home it does. So I was really excited to get back to school to cut it off. Over break it really came apparent how SRU has become my real home. I love the learning experience, the people, and just staying active. I finally grew into the person I've always aspired to be.
