As much as I love keeping busy, I could use nothing more right now than Thanksgiving break \u2026 and judging from the whispers all around me, that seems to be the general consensus!<\/p>\n
Over holiday breaks, the CBU campus steadily becomes what\u2019s been called a \u201cghost town,\u201d as its students filter out to head home. For those who have not made plans to go home, including students who live far away or are even international, Residence Life does allow for them to live on campus for Thanksgiving. Some even look forward to the \u201cghost town,\u201d because it allows peace and quiet for studying and being fully prepared for finals week and the Christmas activities to follow.<\/p>\n
Assuming that Conferences and Events doesn\u2019t work over holiday breaks, I asked for the week off just as a formality. But then earlier this week during a shift, I overheard some co-workers asking one another if they would still be around to take shifts next week. Huh?<\/p>\n
So I approached my supervisor with confusion and he laughed, \u201cOf course we still work! There is always<\/em> work to be done around here.\u201d<\/p>\n Realizing that over break no conferences or events will be held, I then asked, \u201cBut, what exactly do you do, then?\u201d<\/p>\n And to my surprise he responded, \u201cWe decorate, of course! It\u2019s a blast. And then when students return from break, the whole campus looks like Christmas!\u201d<\/p>\n Well, there you have it, folks. CBU even makes an effort to be festive for the sole two weeks we have left when we return in December. I was initially a little bummed to realize that I\u2019d be out of town for this fun, but at the same time, I could really use that time off to spend with my family. When I come back in December, I\u2019ll have the rare pleasure of being one of the students who just enjoys<\/em> all that CBU does to be special, without necessarily having a hand in it this time.<\/p>\n Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As much as I love keeping busy, I could use nothing more right now than Thanksgiving break \u2026 and judging from the whispers all around me, that seems to be the general consensus!
