Show Some School Spirirt

I have recently attended an NSU volleyball game.  I played volleyball myself up until this year and miss it very much.  The reason I wanted to attend this game was to decide if I should try out for the team next year.  I loved watching them play and cheering them on with the rest of the crowd.  After watching the game I decided I wanted to try out next year.
The sport games at NSU are a great way to get out and show some school spirit.  I think it is a great opportunity for anybody to get involved with the school and even find something they may be interested in.  After watching these games and seeing how much fun the athletes have, you might even want to join a team yourself.  
Along with learning about the teams, you will meet other people interested in the same sports.  Lots of people come to cheer on their favorite sports teams and you get a chance to cheer on with them.  It is a great thing to do with a group of friends, it will get them to support the school too.  I absolutely loved cheering on our volleyball team and hope to see more people out there cheering on our sports teams.

Sharkapa-What?

Here at Nova Southeastern there are lots of events going on constantly.  The first event of the year here is something called Sharkapalooza.  It is an event put together by all of the clubs and organizations the school has to offer.  Each table set up has games, prizes and information about its program.  This event was developed for the student body to learn more about the school and to get involved.  It is a great way to start off the year, especially for freshman.
As a freshman myself I know how scary it can be to come to a new school and not know how to get involved.  Walking into this huge event was a great welcome to the school.  The people involved made it a comfortable atmosphere and made it easy to learn about each program.  I was able to see some familiar faces from orientation and meet some new people of all ages and interests.
Sharkapalooza is a great experience for more than freshman though.  It is good for every student, even those that have attended the school for years.  Clubs and organizations are added to the school every year and anyone can find something new that they may be interested in.  
Sharkapalooza has definitely its positive impact on me.  I cannot wait to attend next year and hope all the freshman get out for the first week of school and experience it as well.  Who knows?  Maybe by the then I will be helping organize it as well!
