So since this blog is supposed to be something that can get linked to the honors website, to let incoming freshmen know about the honors program, I am going to clear up one myth about the honors program. We don’t study all the time! Sure we do have study lounges at either end of our hall and yes they do seem to be always occupied, but we do have fun. On any given night of the week, especially Thursday you can find something going on in the main lounge, whether it is a sport game, a late night movie, or The OC on Thursday nights. Game nights, and pumpkin carving, pirate day sign making, are some of the other things you might witness as you are passing by the lounge. We are one of the closest halls on campus I would like to say. Everyone has at least one class with someone on the hall, and I don’t know of any other hall that can be seen walking across campus going to dinner together last week. Blue Crush, our intramural softball that was composed of mostly 3rd floor ARC residents, made it to the semi-finals. Every game the stands were full of hall members that weren’t on the team and Molly and I, the team moms could be found in the dugout. These are just a few of the comebacks I use when people say to me, “you live in ARC that must be so boring to be studying all the time.” ARC is a great place to live and the people there make it all the better. Oh yeah we do study some!
