Happy Mardi Gras! February 16, 2010

Today marks Fat Tuesday, the beginning of the most wonderful celebration on earth: Mardi Gras.  Mardi Gras is about more than collecting beads and drinking the week away.  It is about celebrating New Orleans and the culture that enriches all of our lives.  Now more than ever people are taking the time to stop and think about New Orleans and Mardi Gras especially after Hurricane Katrina. 

Stevenson University is now in crunch time for the Alternative Spring Break Trip to New Orleans which is less than a month away!  Even Reslife is getting in the spirit.  The board shown above is located on the third floor of Susquehanna and has a lot of interesting facts about Mardi Gras on it!

If you haven’t taken the time to think about Fat Tuesday, you need to!  It is the last day of gluten before Ash Wednesday, the markings of Lent.  So eat all the donuts you want today.  Be merry.  It’s Mardi Gras.

Everybody loves coffee!  So why not grab some for free??? This morning, the Patapsco ResLife staff woke up extra early to serve their residents delicious Dunkin Donuts and fresh coffee for free!  I went over and grabbed myself a glazed donut and a cup of french vanilla coffee and it really got my morning started just the right way.  Hopefully they decide to do this every month, because about 30 people and myself absolutley loved their gesture!  So, Mornin’ Joe!
