Ethan's College Shenanigans:
October 2024
... Boo! It's spooky month, $name! 🎃🧙🪄🧹 I'm a big fan of candy and you're never too old to go trick or treating! I got a decent haul too! Some of my favorite costumes I saw: Snoopy, Woodstock, pineapple, cat, and donut. Do you have a favorite costume you've ever worn?
My first event as RHA events director! Had pumpkin/mask painting, food, photo booth, just dance, and a face painter! Food quickly ran out, oops. DIYed volunteer shirts, would not do that again due to time lol. Lots of learning! Will gladly take holiday ideas!
Attended Jay Severson leadership retreat (RHA). Learned various techniques. Afterwards, explored the hosting farm. Made scented candle, unfortunately missed cow live birth, jumped on inflatable cushion.
Dad time! Went to the Feast of the Hunter's moon together. Tried their root beer & French onion soup, watched music, browsed stores, and watched the period actors.
Stumbled upon a free doll museum in West Lafayette 🤯. Pictures inside disallowed, so trust dolls were stacked from floor to ceiling!
Wandered to the ominous triangle building (Cook Medical)
Discovered there’s a mall here⁉️
Helped hand out free hygiene supplies for students (RHA)
In other news...
  • It's midterm season! (linear algebra & CS). I'm my hardest critic, so while there are some aspects I wish I could've done better, I'm implementing changes to improve!
  • I won the lottery‼️💵 Well, the housing lottery at least. Purdue changed their system (much better IMO) and thanks to my involvement in RHA, I was guaranteed a spot. 🥳 Will be rooming with a friend, contingent on RA application.
  • November but relevant: Voted in my first election via mail 🗳️! Honestly underwhelming because
