Seriously. I am doing a service project called FYSOP [pronounce that fy-sop], the First Year Student Outreach Project, and we do a lot of serious stuff, but we also dance. And cheer.
Example:
Hey FYSOP!
Hey what?
Hey FYSOP!
Hey what?
Show me how you get down!
No way!
Show me how you get down!
Okay!
D-O-W-N and that's the way we get down! Woo!
D-O-W-N and that's the way we get down! Woo!
See what I mean? I'll post more cheers later because, really, reading a cheer just isn't the same as cheering it. If you didn't like it, try rereading it in a cheerier, louder mind-voice.
There you go, that's much better!
For this week, I am in a group of 11 first-years (Yes, they call us that. It's like Hogwarts.) and 3 staff. The whole program this year is fish-themed, and my issue area is called Gender Focus, so we are called the Queer Quillbacks. Don't hate.
And when I'm not out with my Quillbacks doing service, I chill in my dorm. Which technically isn't a dorm, it's what's called a "specialty house." It's only for students majoring in education.
Yep, that's right. My major is math education. Maybe you're not jealous of that. But you should be jealous, because I get a whole bathroom to myself when I shower. So there.
Anyway, remember how I said my school is like Hogwarts? Well, so is my dorm. There's a big "Welcome to Hogwarts" sign when you walk in, a Platform 9 3/4 poster, signs directing me to various magical shops, and on my room's door is one of Dolores Umbridge's educational decrees--WITH MY NAME ON IT.
So I'm not sure if this is actually college, but maybe things will make more sense when classes start on September 4th. One thing I am sure of is that this is an awesome ad, and I don't even like burritos.
Yay. :D
ReplyDeleteI wish my dorm was Hogwarts themed. I think ours is "under the sea". We do have a Sqirtle painted on one of the windows though. That's pretty cool.
Actually, one of the issues areas all had Pokemon-themed groups. Tentacools, Magikarps, Squirtles...it was cute. But GF was so much fun!
