homecoming week

This past week, October 4 to the 9th has been USF's twenty fourth annual homecoming! Every night there had been some scheduled event or festivity going on to get all us bulls involved. For a couple of the days out of homecoming week the school had set up this pretty legit carnival down the road from Greek village. Admission was free but you had to pay for all the rides; so unfortunately I didn't ride too many rides, but I still had a blast celebrating some school spirit. Aside from the carnival there was also a homecoming dance which was a fancy ball that was held in the Marshal Student Center. I didn't attend this ball mainly cause I didn't really feel like going and I had homework. But I heard the dance was formal which is nothing compared to my high school homecoming which wasn't really formal at all. Biggest part of homecoming is the school's big homecoming game, which was against Syracuse. In the perfect scenario the home team wins their homecoming game but sadly we lost our game today. In the blistering heat I had to witness us lose but the tailgate was really fun today because my fraternity had our alumni come out. Overall for this being my first college homecoming experience I must say it has been a good week and I can't wait till next year for our 25th annual homecoming which is going to be bigger and better for sure.

  1. I was upset bout turning 3 shades darker at the game too and we ended up loosing. AND i spent like $500 on some food and a drink! But its all good the carnival was pretty smaller than what I thought it would be like and there were soo many people out there. We only got to go on one ride though :/ But the dance was fun. It felt like high school in the beginning but it got live in there. I was sad about the Pitbull anouncement they made but its all good. In the end I enjoyed my first college homecoming experience. GO BULLS!

  2. Hey Nick, I also attended the carnival event and I rode two rides. The lines were really long, but I was excited to actually ride and it was fun. I didn't go to the dance either because of homework as well, maybe next year I will get to go to every event.I also voted for the king and queen for homecoming, but I do not know who won.
