first look fair

I don't know how everyone else feels about the first look fair. for most i assume its an amazing opportunity to find your "niche" at UMD, and its pretty cool to just walk around, get some sun and enjoy the day. for me however i see a big sign hanging over the festival that screams FREE STUFF. when i started marching through the festival i was just trying to find out where the free stuff is and how easy it is to get my hands on it. because i have a problem with eating too much at the diner i was really interested in getting tons of free food, but getting free tee-shirts would sweet as well. unfortunately it wasn't as easy as i thought to get free stuff. in order to get the free food you actually had to talk the the people at the desk and pretend to be interested in whatever obscure club or activity that they were promoting. i actually won a free shampoo at some hair cuttery but since i don't really have to much hair to shampoo or even to cut, i just gave it away to a friend. but i got a couple free notebooks, which will really come in handy next semester when i need to re-stock up on basic school supplies again. i have this really cheap friend (who will go un-named) who snatched up 5 notebooks, which was hilarious. so although i never got my free tee-shirt or the free food. it was fun just to see all the cool clubs and activities there are at UMD. they even had this really cool rock wall that i wanted to climb but decided it wasn't worth getting sweaty over. it was surprisingly hot and i was wearing a black shirt and long sleeved under armor so i was baking. im already doing club basketball so i wasn't really hunting for a club, but if you still need to be part of one i would highly suggest checking out the first look fair. its a lot of fun and its nearly impossible not to find something that you would enjoy doing. and if your in this position you will definitely be able to get free food because you'll actually be talking with the representatives of the clubs. 

Ersin...out!
