I couldn’t call this a UConn blog without mentioning Spring Weekend. It’s big news. In fact, the Huffington Post picked up The Daily Campus‘ coverage of Thursday night at Carriage. To get a better idea of what this time of celebration is really about — hint hint lots of drinking — check out the Hartford Courant‘s gallery.
Here is what I saw/heard on my first spring weekend:
*someone burning a sweatshirt in a campfire. I believe that the individual was subsequently arrested.
*a noticeable police, fire and EMS presence. Check points by police. Flashing lights. Everywhere.
*a UConn pick-up truck stocked with water bottles parked on the trail between campus and the off-campus parties. One of the travelers on this path exclaimed, “Someone must be very thirsty!”
*friendly police officers — well as long as you’re nice to them. On the way out I said, “Have a good night, officer.” He replied, “Thanks for coming.”
*mud in the showers due to the campus’ legendary Oozeball games.
*people from Domino’s Pizza trying to deliver Pizza through the crowds at Celeron and X-Lot.
So UConn students and alumns, what is your favorite spring weekend memory?
