Spring Quarter

This quarter has been a busy one!

One Humanities related event I attended I also helped organize. This event is called the World's Longest Barbecue, sponsored and run by Alpha Epsilon Pi and the Barbeque Qlub. This year we raised around 15,000 dollars for the mid-Ohio Food Bank and international food banks as well. The barbecue went for 5 straight days, 24 hours a day non-stop. It was an incredible experience and one that has done a lot of good year after year. Another event I attended was the end of the year meeting/and food party which recognized the seniors, most of whom I have never seen before. It was awesome seeing some new faces. Another event I attended was the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity fashion show which raises money for various philanthropies. It was great seeing so many people I know, with very little experience, gaining some confidence by looking great on stage. The final event, or events, that I saw involved the dance majors who went around campus doing impromptu and organized dances. I saw 3 performances: one outside the RPAC, on the Oval, and in Drake. It was great seeing a good friend and a friend from high school performing.

Spring!

This quarter I attended the mentee event with the 60 second games; all of the games were so fun! I also attended the mack hall drag show in the Union. There were professional and amateur participants in the show and they all did a great job. Last Thursday I went to see my friend play in one of the OSU jazz ensembles' concerts. The concert was behind the union and they played a nice mix of older big band jazz and more modern smooth jazz. Another event I attended was when I went to see a performance of Spring Awakening downtown. I had never seen the show but I thought they did a great job.

Gallery Hop

On Saturday, April 7th, I went to the short north gallery hop with my boyfriend. It was a lovely evening. We enjoyed some pretty cool paintings by obscure artists (everything ridiculously overpriced) and had ice cream at Jeni's because it's basically against moral standards to go to the short north without indulging in some fabulous Jeni's! The short north gallery hop is one of my favorite things about Columbus. It's so cute and artsy, everyone should do it before they graduate!

Medieval and Renaissance Faire

This weekend my brother came down for the Siblings Weekend being held here at Ohio State. We attended the Medieval and Renaissance Faire and had a good time. It was really cool seeing the old-fashioned weapons, clothing, and jewelery being sold at the various stalls. The costumes being worn were also really interesting. We had already eaten before attending the Faire so I do not know how the carnival style food was. Overall it was a good event to have attended.
