Holiday festivities are in full swing at Elmira College!
This past week, students enjoyed a relaxing holiday feast with their professor of choice. Dinner included turkey (which the professors were instructed to carve and definitely provided some entertainment), mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, corn bread, green beans, corn, stuffing, and to finish it off, cookies and cremepuffs! The Christmas tree and Menorah were lit before dinner, and the Seniors presented Doctor Meier with a nutcracker ornament. After the dinner was finished, everyone say holiday songs and then posed for pictures. Dinner was delicious, and seeing everyone dressed up was exciting!
After the holiday dinner!
My roommate and me before the dinner!
The excitement continued the next day with the annual holiday dance. All the students put on their best dresses and dress shirts, and headed to the holiday dance to dance the night away. Needless to say, the dance provided for some entertainment too, watching everyone do their most creative dance moves. I went with a group of friends and really enjoyed myself! The next day, I am pretty sure that just about every student slept in until noon...it was a busy weekend and we were all exhausted!
My friends and me all dressed up for the holiday dance!
That same day, I went with the rest of the members of nursing club to our advisor's house to make Christmas cookies for our bake sale. After making about twelve dozen cookies, we enjoyed dinner together and of course dessert of cookies. The next day we hosted a bake sale to raise money for Adopt-a-Family, an organization that allows people to buy Christmas presents for people less fortunate, and nursing club adopted a family this year and put the proceeds from the bake sale towards presents for our family. Making cookies was fun, and knowing that the money goes towards a good cause makes it even better.
So now comes the home stretch- FINALS WEEK! Currently, students are studying and finishing last minute projects before finals begin on Monday. Needless to say, I am going to be moving into the library, along with my fellow nursing majors. Before the Monday of finals week we have the traditional midnight breakfast where all of our professors serve us breakfast before we stop eating and sleeping to pass (just kidding, we still find time to eat haha). It is a busy weekend approaching and in just a few days, I will be home relaxing after some hard work. But until then, it is time to study, study, study. Happy Holidays!
