The Gospel According to WALL-E: SALSU Event

As a former SA officer, I can definitely appreciate the time and effort that goes into planning school wide social events. These events play a very important role in one's school experience because they provide the attendee with many memories, fun times, and they also provide an opportunity to get to know people. This was most definitely the case with the first SALSU event of my LSU experience. I attended the Thursday night Luau or "Welcome Back" bash. This event was filled with good music, good food, and several moments that I won't soon forget. The big slide that required the person who was going down it to get absolutely drenched, provided the most laughs. In addition to the fun water games, the Polynesian Cultural Club was there, telling people about their club and what they were all about. Another aspect that I really liked was how they provided mats for you to sit on, since the event was held on the grass in front of the gym. That way, you didn't have to stand forever if you wanted to carry on a conversation with someone.

It was a very well planned event and really made me excited for the rest of the year, socially. It was also really nice that all the SALSU officers with which I came in contact, all had big smiles plastered across their faces, greeting me and making me feel like I belonged here. :)
