Today, we had the opening convocation for 2008-2009 Hollins academic year. From being here earlier than last year, I feel like things are starting very slowly, but I am more excited than ever about the year coming up!! :o) The video is from "First Step," one of our famous Hollins traditions. We have a section of grass on campus called Front Quad that only seniors are allowed in. Most of Hollins students take this seriously, and "First Step" is the ceremony where the new seniors take their first step on Front Quad. Each seniors have a bottle of apple cider in their hands, and, after getting it all over each other, they go to the cafeteria to eat and drink wine. They used to use alcohol for First Step, too, but the school had to change it to non-alcoholic drink for First Step due to State Law (because it's in public)... lol Another fun tradition Hollins has is decorating senior robes. Seniors can decorate their own robes with whatever they like to. I wonder what I will do with my own 2~3 years later from now...
(FYI, I can't see what I'm taking because my camera screen is cracked, so there are parts of the video that shows nothing but trees. I tried...)
