On February 2, the Honors Program sponsored a Pizza and Pong night in the Campus Center for any Honors student to come hang out, have fun, and get to better know their fellow Honors comrades.

Free pizza and soda was provided to get some time to get a free meal, relax, and socialize with fellow honors students.  While that was all good and fun, team brackets were made up.  Everyone chose a partner, and the water pong was set up.  6 cups were arranged in a pyramid at each end of the table, filled with water, and each team was given 2 ping pong balls.  Eventually, the pong began!

Christina and I had never played before, and it was a blast!  Everybody was getting wet, and we were doing really well.  Of course, the upperclassman beat us, since they’ve probably done several of these pizza and pong events already.  Even so, it was a lot of fun trying to win.  Even when we were out of the bracket, we still tried to have a one on one match.  We never finished, but it was glorious nonetheless.

All in all, I found this to be a really nice Honors get together.  I would love to do more events like this, for it’s a great way to hang out with all the Honors kids.  This is way more fun than just being in the same classes.  Honors kids hanging out with Honors kids.  What could be more awesome than that?
