October:  LOFT week activities

Well, you may have heard about LOFT housing on the internet r if you came up to the Mount for a tour. LOFT stands for Lifestyles of Fellowship and Temperance, in other words, it’s a group of crazy (yet sane) people living in Pangborn, Bradley Annex and the A-Tower apartments who all believe that they want to live substance free. I love living here because I live with people who are just as crazy as I am, share the same goals (to graduate college and cherish every moment) and respect each other’s differences. We learn together, discover new things, chill in the hallways, join intramurals together and go on spontaneous Sheetz or coffee runs. Recently, we invited the whole school to see how we really are: energetic, athletic, spontaneous and down right funny with LOFT week.  Thorough out the whole week, we participated in a scavenger hunt (where people went around taking pics of things (and RA’s, I didn’t know about this part so I was the only RA in sight), a field day on Echo field, Karaoke night, a corn maze trip (that was sadly cancelled due to weather) and a screening of Saw III before it came out in theaters. The whole week was fun; it was like LOFT was turned into a zoo where anything goes. I got to learn things about people outside my building and people who I did not share a floor with and people got to know what LOFT was really about: community.
