"Scheme Eugene" by Red Light Company

The town of Slippery Rock is a very small town, at least for those that have come from anywhere near Pittsburgh. Me, I came from an even smaller town, California. I'm used to this kind of distance from anything. I hear, though, from many people how little there is to do here at Slippery Rock. In my opinion those people are either blind or stubborn.

There are so many things going on all the time, if you just look around. Several weeks ago was Homecoming week and with Homecoming week comes our Homecoming Gala. For those of you who are not familiar with it, picture prom yet less formal and likely more fun.Tickets were only $10 which included a great dinner; better than anything you'd find at the FLU. This was my first time going but I had a really good time; mainly because I had decided I was going to have a good time no matter what. You make what you want out of it.

On a similar note, I have discovered something that every week I look forward to. Let me back up a bit. I spend a lot of my time at the ARC. If I had the time to, I'd be there every day running and lifting. However, those were the only thing I every used the ARC for until I noticed a class taught every Friday at 6:00. I was reluctant at first but it's something that could be a ton of fun. It is a Ballroom and Social dancing class and it is great. So far we've learned a little Salsa and West Coast Swing. It's definitely a great experience but really so much here is. You just have to make the best out of life.
