Temple University Homecoming 2011

"Fly Above The Rest!"

          And that we were. For my first official college homecoming, I would have to say that TU did a pretty great job. The week started on a Wednesday, with Tee's for Temple U where I was able to great a free t-shirt from MCPB by simply giving to charity. Then I went to the J. Cole concert and the Electric Factory and it was AMAZING. (Mind you, this was not apart of the official homecoming for the university, but my own personal twist :) The concert was mind-blowing and started my homecoming off the in biggest way. Thursday was the homecoming pageant where the royalty court fought for the crown. I was able to work backstage and see all the work that goes into putting on an event for a major university. Friday was the Pep Rally/ BBQ and I really had a great time. Over 400 alumni were present and it was great to see that Temple had a strong alumni network. The week ended with the homecoming football game where we DEMOLISHED Buffalo, and the Kid Cudi concert :). I must say, Temple may not be Howard University when it comes to the grand scale performers and people coming all over from the east coast, but I enjoyed myself at my university and that's all that matters.

I Love College.

              

          Yeah... This is my life now. Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. I'm am officially a Temple Owl. Hooter is truly my homeboy. Only been here for two months, and I'm already in love with in. From this point on, I will bleed Cherry and White. Months before this all began, I couldn't image that college would be like this. Movies don't prepare you for all the things you are bound to experience. Everywhere I look there are opportunities for me to great involved. If you don't come to college knowing what you want, believe me, over these four years you will most certainly find out. The late nights up studying, making new friends everyday, getting lost in a brand new city, and having to accept independence are just a few things that I can truly say I love about college. I can't wait to see what these four years have to offer. So I'm gonna sit back, and enjoy the ride.
