Ten things to do this week. This is a weekly column highlighting events on campus and in Boulder by Samuel Fuller, history major and resident event virtuoso.
We鈥檙e almost there! Graduation beckons for many of us, and a summer filled with opportunities and exploration is in the cards for those of you continuing your education next autumn. I鈥檒l refrain from discussing the onslaught that awaits us in the coming weeks, as the path best walked is one of pure ignorance, at least in my humble opinion. However, there is still plenty of fun to be had before we all depart onto the next chapter of our lives.
This week is Be Boulder. Week, and as such, campus is alit with chances to proclaim your love for our hallowed school. As well as celebrating school pride, campus is serving up multiple opportunities for you to meet new people and get involved in your preferred area of campus life. Join your fellow Herd members at a Rockies game, head to Macky Auditorium in order to watch the Boulder Philharmonic or attend the Moonlit Masquerade and brush up on the latest fashion trends modeled by your fellow 欧美口爆视频 students, I don鈥檛 remember getting asked to model though 鈥� shame, my version of 鈥渂lue steel鈥� is legendary.听
