NCSU/UNC Annual Football game!

Since we have quite a few Carolina and State Alum, there has been some "talking" back and forth in our class! The first year students coordinated together and were able to get 3 parking passes for the Fairgrounds lot to tailgate the morning of the game. We sent around a sign up sheet for food/drinks and we ended up with cornhole, a grill, biscuits, bacon, eggs, pancakes, donuts, orange juice, bloody mary mix and a few adult beverages mixed in.

We carpooled out to the field at 8am, and started cooking breakfast. It was a little cold that morning, a brisk 39 degree to be exact but we still had a great time. It started out with 14 of us, and once it started to warm up more and more people came by. Before the game we had about 25-30 people out there! Everyone had a great time at the tailgate, then we all went into the game and watched the PACK absolutely dominate the Tarheels!

 5^th year in a row that the WOLFPACK come out on top!

Now, let's hope we can continue the momentum into basketball season...

Happy Hour

Now that our big Stats and Econ tests are over, we have a reason to celebrate!

Really, we just use Thursday night as an excuse to stop working and enjoy our 2 years in grad school. Since the first week of school, we have chosen different places each Thursday night to go for Happy Hour. So far we’ve hit Raleigh Times, Cameron Village Bar & Grill, Natty Greens, Hibernian, Tobacco Road & East Village.

Tonight is the Village Draft House!

We typically meet around 6ish and have a couple drinks to relax and unwind from the week, and tonight should be our biggest turnout! Everyone has been studying around the clock for our two tests today, so it will be a great way for us to socialize about things other then school.

Our class is very social, and I think its a great way for us to get to know each other. Other then happy hours, we have standing Tuesday Trivia nights, and various other activities through the semester.

One of the first pieces of advice the 2nd years gave us during Orientation was get along with your classmates. Our class is off to a great start in the first 6 weeks!
