Freshmen’s First Steps at AUCA

This “Orientation Week” is unique. It isn’t because AUCA is 20 years old; it is because of your T-shirts.

Well, I know that all of seniors, juniors and sophomores will kill me, but they envy that you have such remarkable t-shirts. They kept wondering: "Why do they have such cool T-shirts?"  Even though the word “KNOWLEGE” printed on the T-shirts misses «D», they envy. Have you noticed it? If not, you did not pay attention to what is written on your backs (or fronts). Freshmen, be proud of your T-shirts!

There is always a short way to find a classroom or to get to the food places at AUCA. The better you know the building, the faster you get in line for the food! Remember how AUCA Graphia game was going – volunteers prepared obstacles for you: gym, WC, medical office, etc. Freshmen did great as teams following each other and helping to get through brutal quests of ours! Participation was mandatory for all teams, but the Grey team showed the best spirit and entered CH-1 first with all treasures with them.

Our Body Moving Day traditionally started with a Community service competition, in which students had to run around the park and collect a trash. The Maroon team was on top and won that one. Then, Sponge competition in which the first place went to the Black team. How cool it was to play in water while the weather was killing by its heat! Volunteers have tricked freshmen when they were doing “Funky Chicken” dance and started throwing water balls right into the crowd. “Aaahh!” or “Stooop it!” they kept yelling, but then, freshmen got the joke and played all together pouring water on each other and running around. The pause between tricks wasn’t big and volunteers did another joke. They called all freshmen to take a picture in front of the building and then, from the balcony, they poured even more water. What a fun to watch!

Between sessions, there was a disco party in Bravo. Our crazy dancing at first shocked freshmen, and they were very shy. Randomly, volunteers grabbed some of freshmen and just “forced” them to dance in a circle and freshmen realized how fun it was! We all got stupid and crazy together, having fun and playing around between boring (but very useful!) classes.

P.S. We wish you all the best in your new steps. And remember, a little party never killed nobody!
