Saturday night I decided to be my usual self and go to 3 events within the course of a few hours to show support and get more involved here at school. Everything began when I went to a "4th Day" with people from Kairos. Basically some of the people from the retreat we went on two weeks ago got together at someone's apartment and just caught up about where we are and how we are doing since the retreat. It gave us the chance to check-in with one another and hear about what's been going on with everyone.
Afterwards, I went to the Mass Transit concert which was absolutely phenomenal! It was the best Mass Transit show I think I've seen (and I've been to most of them). The energy the guys had and shared with the audience made it such a fun show--not to mention the comedy they inserted throughout the performance! But seriously, the talent that each of the members has is really amazing (makes me even more jealous of people who can sing haha) and the way they are all able to come together is awesome. I'm so glad I went to the show and I'm definitely looking forward to their next one in April!
But, that wasn't the end of my night. Instead, I sped home and changed really quickly to go to the Violet Ball which was another good decision. Two groups of my friends were going and since school dances are right up my alley, there was no way I was saying "no" to this event! The Violet Ball is an annual formal event that is held at NYU's Puck Building (incredible!) each March. For $12 you get food, a photo, and music by a DJ and live band. The music is great and the whole environment is just a ton of fun. My friends and I stayed until it ended at 1am and it was so worth it (and it gave us another chance to dress up--the 2nd or 3rd time in less than a month for some of us). It was just a fun way to catch up and hang out with friends and have some school spirit all at once!
