Ok so spring break is officially over and I have already started my countdown towards the end of the year. Yes I love Furman; however, things have gotten a little dull on the hall and I think its time for a new start. Next year should definitely be an exciting experience as I will have a new roommate and I will of course be an RA on the hall. Although originally I thought that the housing lottery was a pain, I am not starting to believe that it is actually beneficial. The lottery allows you to keep certain close friends through allowing you to choose your roommates and suitemates while also placing you on halls with new unfamiliar students. Diversification is key; things start to get dull after a while.

Another fun fact about Furman is that different intramurals are played each semester. For example, last semester we played traditional fall sports like football and soccer while this semester we are playing traditional spring sports like basketball and baseball. So far, we lost in the championship game in basketball but we won our first softball game. Hopefully, we will not lose in the championship game in softball.

All in all, I am pretty excited about returning to Furman next year. I am sure that all of you are also counting down the days to your arrival at Furman. Orientation may seem awkward, but it is just plain fun and remember: for the most part, you go through orientation only once, so enjoy it while you can. In addition, I am planning on taking a summer course at Furman. The course only takes a month and you get four credits; however, you must attend class 5 days a week for an extended duration. Even though it is rather expensive, it will give me a head start for next year. By the way, since some of you are making final decisions on whether to attend Furman or not, do not hesitate to comment my blogs if you have any questions about Furman and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Good luck!
