Towson celebrates “make a friend” day

Associate Editor

By: Sydney Douglas, Contributing Writer

In celebration of “National Make a Friend Day,” on Feb. 11, students could play air hockey, LED foosball, a giant game of Connect Four and games like Mario Kart on the Wii in the University Union, courtesy of Student Activities.

“Towson University community ambassadors decided that they wanted this to be one of the off-campus living series events,” Coordinator of Off-Campus Student Services Joyce Herold said. “They had a thought that perhaps students might make new friends and even make some great memories with existing friends by having some good fun around some classic games.”

The event was held during the afternoon as many students passed through to grab a friend or someone they didn’t know to play the games.

“It’s a day to just really get to know people on your campus that you walk by,” senior and community ambassador Zane Smith said. “You get to network and make connections. I enjoy the event and it’s very productive.”

The bright lights attracted many students passing through the University Union lobby with the games and the sound effects.

“This is nice [because] it gives people a chance to meet someone new and to see if they are compatible as friends,” sophomore Divine Odilatu said.

Groups of students gathered around the “Strike-A-Light” game as they battled one another through hitting buttons on the machine that followed a pattern.

“I honestly came because I like this game,” senior Cecil Sutherland said. “I think the event is good, it should happen more often. It’s a good stress reliever. I was stressed walking in, but I’m not now.”

Towson plans to build upon these types of social- based events in future semesters.

“The community ambassadors really focus on building community both on and off campus and helping students make connections through resources on campus,” Herold said. “I think this event might be kept in our lineup because it really did draw a lot of students. Sometimes we think that you need food in order to have a good event, but students are just coming and playing. I think games are a natural type of classic connector between people.”

  1. I had to stay awake late to wait for a delivery that was delayed. Needed something to keep my eyes open and my mind occupied past midnight. My friend told me about their favourite spot, and I checked out Mr Beast Casino . Anyone in the UK territory should try this site for their huge selection of late-night live dealer options. They have exclusive offers just for their night-time players, like a special midnight bonus. The design looks great on desktop and the graphics are clear. They have many different payment options, including e-wallets. Their minimum withdrawal is super low, making it easy to cash out small wins. Their security protocols are very serious. I stayed wide awake and actually won a little something while waiting.

  15. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it
    to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to
    her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but
    I had to tell someone!

  20. This article is very helpful.
    I really appreciate how clearly it explains
    the details in an easy-to-understand manner.

    Many people often struggle to understand
    how digital sports streaming functions,
    especially regarding
    user experience and access.

    This post makes things much clearer,
    and I think it will be useful for beginners
    who are looking for reliable information.

  27. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But
    maybe you could a little more in the way of content
    so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot
    of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it
    out better?

  36. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps everyone
    else experiencing issues with your site. It appears like some of the text in your posts are running
    off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let
    me know if this is happening to them as well?
    This could be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
    Many thanks

  37. Hi! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your
    site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when viewing from my iphone4.
    I’m trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
    If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!
