Royal Nights
So, life at The University of Scranton has been incredibly busy, hence the reason that I missed my blog last week. No worries, I am back and ready to chat (cheesy, I know). I have a few things to catch you up on before I start talking about my main topic for today. First of all, we had our first real SPRING day in Scranton last week. I could have sat outside at midnight and had a conversation with someone it was so warm. Thank goodness, I am so ready for spring and all the life it brings to the campus. The construction is going well. Gunster is being knocked down as we speak, and I think everyone is doing a good job making the adjustment to DeNaples. It is weird to think that when you guys attend school here, you will not even know what Gunster was really all about. Sad, but progress is progress, and DeNaples really has a lot to offer the students.
Ok, so the point of my blog today is to talk to you about Royal Nights. Once you have gone through the admissions process here at the University and get accepted, you have the unique opportunity to attend an event called Royal Nights. Ok, so first of all, I’ll explain the name. We are the Scranton Royals…and you spend the night…easy enough. The event usually happens on three separate Sundays in Mondays in February or March. The reason I think that it is important to let you know about this event is because it really is an awesome opportunity, and if possible, you should really take advantage of it. As soon as you get invited, send your RSVP card in though, that way you get the date that you want. So, what happens is you come on a Sunday afternoon and you stay with a host (someone who lives on campus). The next day you attend classes that go along with your major and get a chance to explore the campus. It may not sound like much, but I think it is a great thing to do, especially if you are struggling with where you want to go to school and where you really see yourself. You get to be a student for the day and experience what life would be like for you as a freshman in college. I am an indecisive person, so events such as royal nights, are things that I think really help in the college selection process. If you can relate to my indecisiveness, then royal nights will be a good thing for you to consider.
Ok…now, I am all blogged out and I need to go and do some work…or play, seeing as how it is Wednesday and I am done classes for the week. Oh, the life of a college senior.
