It\u2019s the last day of August!! I\u2019m finally finished up with DeWalt, and I figured my summer would slow down and I\u2019d be able to relax and enjoy the last week before classes start\u2026 but no. I just got back to beautiful Lethbridge last night, and I\u2019ve been unpacking and grocery shopping and catching up with friends and all sorts of things. I\u2019ve had an interview with a tutoring company, and tomorrow I start back at work at my old job. Then this weekend I\u2019m pitching rock to help out a friend\u2019s company \u2013 he does stonework on houses.<\/p>\n
Basically, there\u2019s no rest at all for me! Back to classes with Orientation next Tuesday and then diving headfirst back into life at the University. There\u2019s so much to look forward to in the first couple weeks! Here\u2019s a brief (brief because even after three full years, there\u2019s still things that go on that I know nothing about!) overview of things to definitely look out for!<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FRESH FEST! <\/strong> 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rush week September 13-17<\/strong> 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The IVCF booksale. <\/strong> So keep an eye out for these great campus events! I\u2019ll do my best to keep you posted on what you shouldn\u2019t miss in the first couple weeks and I\u2019ll fill you in on how much fun I\u2019m having being back in classes!! It\u2019s the last day of August!!

\nFresh fest is the party of the year! You can meet new people, catch up with old friends and have an everlovin\u2019 ball at this event, put on by a team of dedicated students and of course, our ULSU. According to Facebook, there\u2019ll be a luau, an outdoor movie, BBQs, lemon themed events and a music concert with two stages and several bands! This is all going down starting September 9, so purchase your tickets and I will be seeing you there!<\/p>\n
\nGoing to a new University is hard, especially if you don\u2019t know anyone or if you\u2019re moving away from your hometown. The easiest and most fun way to get involved on campus and meet new people \u2013 fast \u2013 is to join one of the U of L\u2019s super awesome clubs! The U has over 60 different clubs, ranging from the Management Student\u2019s Society and the Rotaract Club to more specific clubs, like the Fire Spinning Club and the Head Bangers’ Society. And don\u2019t forget the Surf Club! That\u2019s right, friends. We have a Surf Club in Lethbridge. As well, if the whole sorority\/fraternity idea appeals to you, we have both! Kappa Sigma, an international fraternity, has a chapter at the U of L, and you can learn more\u00a0here<\/a>. Delta Eta Iota is a local sorority, started here at the U of L. Be sure to check out all the club tables in the atrium, floor 6 of UHall!<\/p>\n
\nAn alternative to buying your books at the bookstore is to wait about a week or so and buy them used through this great booksale! Returning and past students can sell their books here and set their own prices, which is much easier than trying to post flyers around the University. For those who aren\u2019t keen on waiting for the booksale to come around, the University bookstore will be open the entire week heading into classes, so you can grab all your books, pencils, paper and U of L gear to start September off right!<\/p>\n
