It's finals week, I cannot believe how fast this semester went by! There's something different about finals during the spring semester. Fall semester finals have a very different feel, maybe because there's the excitement to have a Christmas break, see family, and start new classes soon; but whatever it is spring semester ending is much different. There's a graduating class, schools going to be out for 4 months, we are all ready to be done with classes, but are sad to leave friends.
One great thing about the spring semester ending is all of the events. The school goes all out, and there are so many closing events to look forward to.
By far the best event is Campus Days. This year it is on April 22nd. Campus Days is the competition between all of the living areas to battle it out for the Pot. The Pot is like a witches cauldron that has been in the CBU tradition for over 30 years. The winner of campus days wins this gaudy Pot, with signatures of previous winners tagged all over it.
The teams are formed, matching t-shirts, and war paint, they come to the front lawn ready for battle. Nearly every game is ridiculous and fun. There is motorized toilet races, human foosball, giant basketball, crazy inflatable relay courses, and the list goes on. You play team after team, station after station for over an hour. There are chants and cheers, and everyone is staring at the coveted prize, the Pot.
Now there are some rules about the Pot, here are a few key ones: 1. It must be on campus at all times. 2. You may take the pot as long as no one is touching it. 3. It must be brought to Campus Days. 4. Hide it well, because people are looking for it.
The day comes to a close, the scores are tallied and everyone gathers to hear. The points are announced and the winners are crowned. It is a day of defeat for most, but for those lucky ones it is a day of victory. They will all sign the pot and hide it as best they can for the next year.
This will be my last campus day. I've come in 2nd place twice and I've never won the Pot but hopefully this will be the year!
