FYE Events

Since part of our FYS class is to attend some FYE events, I thought I would get some off those out of the way early.  A few weeks ago, after enjoy another lovely dinner in the Cardinal's Nest, my friends and I stopped by the Beer Googles 3000.  I didn't do so hot with this activity; it was quite difficult.  I still blame my scarf for throwing me off balance though!  I swear, the line kept moving!  When wearing the googles I barely knew which way was up.  I sincerely hope, and plan, to never let myself be in a position like that again, unless of course I'm dizzy from a merry-go-round!

I also attended another FYE event called, something like, Balancing Your Plate in the Cardinal's Nest.  This event taught all four girls that attended how much of each food group to put on your plate.  Best of all, there was food to sample at the end!  Surprisingly, I loved the butternut squash and I'm not even a vegetable person.  I'm glad I tried a new food because, otherwise, I would have never known I liked it so much.  There were other foods we were allowed to try, such as turnips, beets, and wheatberry.  The Sous Chef of Otterbein also gave us suggestion on how to prepare food with spices that I have never even heard of.  I plan on eating healthier while in the cafeteria because now I am aware of all the delicious choices.

Last class was about non-profit organizations.  I had never thought about working in a non-profit, but while listening to them talk I was considering it.  I would have to be passionate about the organization I would work for, like all the women that talked two weeks ago.  I could almost see their passion in their eyes and hear it in their voice.
