Outfly Is Not A Rumor

So after the last couple weeks, a lot of freshman were starting to believe that outfly was a complete joke. It was just a huge prank put on by the whole school to get freshman excited about one day where all of our classes would be cancelled and we would be able to screw around all day. However, as of today these rumors have been put to rest (not that I ever believed that outfly was a hoax). Today I was woken up at 6:00 am by creapy music declaring it outfly and telling us to wakey wakey. At first I thought that it was just a group of kids that thought it would be funny to make it seem like it was outfly to get us to walk out to the bell in the freezing cold when it actually wasn't outfly. The reason I thought it was a fake was because I had always been told that people would come running down each hallway of the dorms with their underwear over their pants, banging on doors, and yelling, "It's OUTFLY!!!". I learned that I just needed to be patient. It wasn't more than 20 minutes later that it sounded like a herd of elephants running down my floor screaming that it indeed was outfly. The day was filled with many exciting activities. I went out to the bell to see them actually declare the day, went to breakfast, came back to the room and slept for a long amount of time :), and then when I woke up the fun began. A group of girls and I went to lunch which was delicious. Afterwards we went to the bookstore and played minute to win it which was super easy. I won and recieved 30% off a Wartburg item. Then we thought it would be fun to continue the tradition that most students follow on Outfly and we got piercings. I didn't do anything too crazy. I got my thirds pierced. We also made our way to the Wash House which is a salon uptown and we all got a pink extention put into our hair. The money went to the Breast Cancer Foundation so it was for a good cause. In the end Outfly was a lot of fun although it definitely would have been better if it had been warmer. Can't wait for it to happen again next year!
