Holiday Dinner at Utica College

007556c1-cbf8-4a78-a926-1ab001788c9dStudents will see UC’s faculty and staff members in a way that’s more catered to them rather than being in the typical classroom setting.

UC’s Holiday Dinner is tomorrow Dec. 3 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. This is one of the college’s oldest traditions. The faculty and staff will be working for your tips.

All tips and additional money raised will support the Inter Greek Council Adopt-A-Classroom program for Kernan Elementary School’s 1st grade classrooms in Utica.

The Truth about the Break Bus at UC

unnamed

The truth about the Break Bus at UC is that to understand it, you must experience it.

The truth about the Break Bus at UC is that you cannot beat a $70 round trip from Utica to NYC that picks you up 500 feet away from your room. #NoCabFare

The truth about the Break Bus is that when everyone is on the bus, THEY ARE ON THE BUS. The break bus is not quite, it is not a place to read your Sylvia Plath, no no no. It might be a place to read your Fifty Shades of Grey Novel, because a if you do not join the party, then at least have one in your head.

The truth about the Break Bus is that if I were to describe it in pop culture, maybe as a song, it would be Ellie Goulding’s “On My Mind”. If I decided to take the RnB route, It would an be just about any Outkast song. (But click the hyper link, because I chose one anyway).

The truth about the Break Bus is it sells out faster than you can say “supercalifragillisticexpialidocious”. And to all those who are thinking it, yes–to be fair, that is a pretty big word.

The truth about the Break Bus is you just gotta ride it. No one is more excited than a group full of people who get to escape the jaws of school work for a little while.

What is your truth about the Break Bus?
