College fun: I'm having a party
Yes, I know college classes are so much fun! I mean with all the assignments and tests, who wouldn't love college?I know I do..LoL. So, it was my birthday just last week, on February the 21, and I turned ..( you have to guess that yourself:). Starting at 12a.m., I received phonecalls from my Nigerian friends at other U.S. colleges. Back home, we always tried to be the first to wish the birthday person a happy birthday, so why not start at 12a.m.? Most of the times, a group of us got together at the dorms and counted down, while clapping "10,9,8..2,3..happy birthday..." ( I attended a boarding school).
At work, I received a cheesecake, courtesy of my lovely and energetic boss. And of course, my parents called to wish me a happy birthday and my sister sent me a text. Then, there was the numerous wall posts on my facebook profile. As part of celebrating my birthday, I decided to have a small party or get together over the weekend. So, I did what most college student would do when having a party: I created a facebook event. Modern technology puts a twist on all forms of social interaction! I didn't even have to really invite my friends by word of mouth; they just r.s.v.p.ed on facebook as attending, maybe attending or not attending. With that out of the way, the next item on my list was the enterntainment at my birthday celebration, as I like to call it.
I ended up with three dishes for my party, an hor d'ouevres and some drinks (non alcoholic of course:). My party started out slow, then more of my friends arrived and it was a blast. We ate, talked , took pictures and enjoyed some music. I literally spent all day Saturday making preparations for my party! As expected, I slept in on Sunday. After I was well rested, I did what every responsible college student should do: I returned to my school work! I had to catch up on my studying, since I had an Immunology exam the following Tuesday. That turned out to be a good decision, as you may have guessed. Remember, college is more than classes; there are fun activities you can engage it, but don't forget about your academic responisibilities though! They are quite central to your college career.
