Be a Social Butterfly, Not a Couch Potato


It’s Friday. You’ve just finished class and you’re ready to do something for the weekend. But you have no car. And you’re dorming. Now what…?

Never fear! The CSULB housing community has a plan for you!

Events planned vary from road trips to nearby cities, trips to amusement parks, dances, social recreational activities, and even speed dating. For a small fee, students are able to travel to and from the designated destination on a communal bus, without having to worry about getting a ride and back to the dorms.

Throughout the semester, flyers for events are posted all around the dorms – in the dining halls, the common room, the hallways, even the doors are plastered with a friendly reminder of what’s planned for the week.

“It’s really cool!”, gushed international student Charlotte Gaffey. “I’m from England and I want to see everything this city has to offer. Some of the events included trips to San Diego and Disneyland! Being from a different country, I have no way to transport a car here so it’d be literally impossible for me to sightsee.”

Finished your homework and studying early on in the week? No problem! Some events are as simple as a communal still-playing-in-theaters movie night in the common room. Sounds like the perfect ending to a Taco Tuesday eh?

“This really is the stereotypical college experience”, said Jessica Aceret, a third year psychology major. “Having fun during the week, without having to have the party mentality.”

Signing up for the events is as easy as well, going to dinner. That’s where the signup sheets are located anyway, making signing up hard to forget and ignore!

So what are you waiting for? Go out and be social already!
