The end of the semester. I mention in my opinion piece how difficult the semester has been so I will not get into that too much here, but let\u2019s just say the end of the semester calls for celebration. Here are some safe ways to celebrate!<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do a little photoshoot! Most everyone has a phone with some sort of camera in it. Go out and around campus and do a photoshoot with your friends! This is a great way to celebrate each other and the bond you formed over the semester.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a Friends-giving! This was introduced to me by the Brackety-Ack staff themselves. Pick a date and time and have all of your friends get together. Everyone should bring their own dish and drinks and you can enjoy a college Thanksgiving. If someone has already left or can\u2019t make it, do it over Zoom as well so everyone can enjoy it!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go for a hike! Get together with your group and drive up towards Macaffee\u2019s Knob or Sawtooth Trail and go take in nature. Once you get to the top, enjoy the view with everyone and maybe just sit and talk with each other because you won\u2019t be seeing each other for a couple of months.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A gift exchange! This one is good to knock out two birds with one stone. Here you can all get together and hangout, but at some point start a gift exchange. This could be anything from a Secret Santa or White Elephant. A personal favorite of mine is wrapping a box up multiple times. Play music and whenever the song stops the person unwraps the gift. Whatever number they get is the present they unwrap. Make it interesting by allowing steals!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However you choose to celebrate, I just want to say thank you to everyone for doing their part to ensure this semester could be as successful as it could be. Be smart over break and get ready to do even more in the spring! See you all then, Maroons!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Zach \u201cthe End is Only the Beginning\u201d Dalton \u00a0Here we are, Maroons.
