After Fall Break Madness...

Fall break was a much needed break. However, it was way too short and I had so many things to do during fall break. As soon as Monday rolled around, I was swept up into the madness of six classes again. Tests and projects have come up already. I'm not the only student who gets stressed. Everyone gets stressed at some point during the semester. That's completely normal! To help relieve some stress, we have some fun activities to look forward to on campus. A debate between the Republicans and the Democrats, college groups on campus, is taking place on Monday. Unfortunately, we don't get Election Day off. A lot of people have to send in absentee ballots or vote after class. Anyway, Mom's Day is November 8!! Mom's Day is another one of Columbia College's fabulous traditions. It's a day where you just spend time with your mom. There's a speaker and then games later on. I'm sooo excited about it! Registration for next semester classes is happening right now too. Thanksgiving is coming up fast and then we have two more weeks of school left. Then, we have a month off, which is much needed. That's one of the best parts about college, we have longer breaks. Enjoy!

It's Finally Fall Break!!!

It is finally fall break!!! That's how you feel when midterms come around, especially when you have six classes. We don't get breaks from school that often. This our first break since Labor Day. Things get really crazy around midterm time. Everything starts to pile up. Suddenly, teachers make the deadlines for projects and papers on the same days. You also have to study for exams on top of all that. After midterms, things really start to calm down again until around final time. Once you make it through midterms, you can definitely make it through the semester. Thanksgiving break comes in about a month and then we have about two weeks left of school. Then, we're done with the semester!! Many people go home for fall break and spend time with their friends and family. Fall break is your time to get rest and catch up. Enjoy!!

Ludy Bowl!!!

Hello everyone!! The start to my sophomore year at Columbia College has been great! Ludy Bowl Week was last week and the theme was Battle of the Poles: Polar Bears v. Penguins. Ludy Bowl is one of Columbia College's fabulous traditions. We had different dress days: monday was pj day, wednesday was tacky day, thursday was school colors day, and friday was wear your team colors. We had a dance party, a movie night, craft night, etc. On the day of Ludy Bowl, we had tailgating, a parade, and then the game!! Ludy Bowl is basically our homecoming week. It began in 1955 to honor Lucille Godbold, who won a gold medal in the 1922 Olympics. She was a professor and supporter of the college. We've just kept it up. We have a powderpuff football game and the sophomores and juniors play against the seniors and freshmen. Ludy Bowl Week brings out the school spirit in us students and it helps bring the college together. It's our week to have fun together as a campus.
