We do, however, have a wonderful Gospel Choir led by students here. I haven’t seen them perform yet this year, but I know they’re still pretty new. When I saw the choir last year it was awesome so I’m really excited to see how ours turns out this year!

This past Thursday, students were encouraged to attend 70’s Skate Night at our local skating rink. Although most college students don’t usually utilize the skating rink, this was a fun excuse to dress up and skate the night away.

There were some pretty hilarious outfits and below are some of my favorites!

Apollo Ohno? Nope. Taylor Doolitte, GWU Junior.

I was doing some research online and found a curling club in Charlotte! They’re relatively new and constantly looking for interested potential curlers. They host these events every now and again called LTC – Learning to Curl. The next one close to me is at the end of March. I’m so excited! I really hope I can find some friends to go with me!

Here’s a link to their website if you want to find out more!

Except for the annoying geese making loud obnoxious noises every so often, today was magical. Spending hours by a beautiful lake on a beautiful college campus is just alright with me

My roommate had some pork chops she didn’t want and asked me if I would want them. Well, being a college student, I’m not used to cooking meals for myself. Naturally, the first thing I did was call my mom and ask her how to cook the pork chops. She asked what kind of ingredients I had in the apartment, and I gave her the very short list.

A few weeks ago, I went on this health food kick and bought only non-fat food. I got this Italian dressing from Wal-Mart which I thought was going to be delicious! Wrong. I put it on one salad and couldn’t even eat it. Mom recommended I use it on the pork chops. So I did! I put some salt and pepper on both sides, then doused it in fat free Italian dressing.

They turned out delicious! I know pork chops aren’t the common college food to by lying around, but at least you have a great inexpensive recipe now!

Pre-cooked pork chops.

I’m horrible at explaining things, so here’s a link with directions:

Here’s a few pictures from our game battle of Spoons. It got pretty violent! Nonetheless, it was so much fun and a great Friday night at the Webb!

Grabbing for the spoons!

Getting intense!

For whatever reason, I can watch both of these videos numerous times and laugh hysterically each time. Enjoy!

I’m excited about this year because the Olympics happen to be right above our fair country in Canada. I’m really hoping to see some tough competition and possibly some huge upsets. Although I’m usually a bigger fan of the Summer games, I’m beginning to enjoy to Winter Olympics just the same.

For the opening games tonight, a bunch of my friends and I gathered in my apartment to watch the festivities. As our eyes were fixed on the television screen, rumors began circling about snow falling outside. We all got super excited and ran outside. It’s like the Winter Olympics came to Gardner-Webb!! Now we can have our own bobsledding races and I might even pick up cross-country snow skiing.

…But probably not. We only got like an inch of snow. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to have a beautiful dusting of snow fresh on Gardner-Webb’s beautiful campus. Hopefully it’ll still be around tomorrow so we can go sledding!
