Midnight Madness

Every college and even high school has their own traditions and Western New England University is one a campus full of many traditions. Last weekend was Midnight Madness which is one of WNE’s class pride tradition. It is held in the gym from 9pm until 11pm and each class, freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors are given a section of the bleachers that is their territory. When you enter WNE as a freshman you are given a class color that you will have for the next four years, next year the class color for the entering freshmen will be red. I am a sophomore this year and my color is blue, so for Midnight Madness each class gets decked out in their color and cheers on those in their grade as they compete in dodgeball, three-legged races and other challenges. Each class council also prepares a dance and performs it for the entire campus at Midnight Madness, which is beyond entertaining. The cheerleaders perform along with the dance team and martial arts team. It is a great event that brings your class together and creates a little healthy competition. Every year a class wins based on the games played and who wins along with spirit points which are easy to gain because the DJ keeps everyone on their feet. This year the seniors won Midnight Madness, but you never know maybe next year it will be you and your freshmen class 'repping red who win but you’ll have to beat my junior class first!

  1. Recently, I found a few films depicting the student life. I was very pleased by them, since they've brought some kind of students atmosphere into my house. I did like them:
