The Stockton Entertainment Team held an open mic night in the Campus Center Coffeehouse on Wednesday September 9, 2015 at 8:00 pm. This open mic night gave students an opportunity to show off some of their musical talents on stage in front of whoever came to watch. Any student was eligible to sign up, all they had to do was speak to Parth, the man in charge of the sign up sheet.

    This was a really great experience, not only for the people watching, but also for the performers. It takes a lot of courage to get up on stage and sing in front of a bunch of strangers. Even with all of that hanging over their heads, every performer, or group of performers, were phenomenal. Each performer gave it all they had, and didn’t show a single ounce of fear, only bravery, ambition, and excitement.         

    The activities SET puts together for the university are always great ways to go out and support not only your friends, but also support your fellow Stockton students. Depending on what the activity is, it can also be a great way to either form a better bond with friends, or create new bonds with people.

    At open mic night, a bunch of the residents in my building, housing 2 F building, along with two of the three residential assistants, decided we were going to go up on stage and all sing a song together, and we did. That time, even though it was only a few minutes, gave us a great opportunity to have fun and strengthen the bond we had already formed up to this point.
