Kim, ‘12

Hello, hello all! I hope you had a great Valentine’s weekend. The atmosphere here on campus is so fun and happy every time any sort of holiday rolls around. UR student groups love to go all out for every holiday, giving us students fun breaks from classes and studying.

There were random events that occurred all throughout last week leading up to the day itself. On Tuesday, my hall’s Resident Assistant threw us a Valentine party, where everyone in my hall exchanged secret Valentine gifts and decorated Valentine cookies. Then, Thursday night, the Campus Activities Board hosted William Cane, author of The Art of Kissing on a how-to kiss show.  This event was entertaining, to say the least, as author William Cane attempts to teach college students, in his very blunt and satirical sense of humor, how to kiss. Yes, you read correctly, dear reader, I attended a how to kiss event. This all goes to show the different kinds of speakers, programs and shows available on campus. There is always something different going on, and you should always keep an eye out for them! And finally, to sum up all Valentine’s Day events, the Westhampton College Cabinet for the class of 2012 hosted a cookie-decorating party for all the ladies of 2012 to get together and relax.

All in all, this week has been full of Valentine festivities and lots and lots of sweets. I just wanted to give you all a sneak peak into holiday events, because they always lighten the mood on campus! I hope everyone had as good of Valentine’s weeks as I did. Until next time!
