It’s New Orleans For Ya!!!
New Orleans is known for three things: the food, bourbon street, and MARDI GRAS! This past Tuesday was Fat Tuesday, as known to native New Orleanians. This is Mardi Gras day. On this day, everyone goes downtown to catch the parades, eat New Orleans good food, walk on bourbon street and canal, and just have fun with their family and friends. Unfortunately, this has to be the dirtiest day in New Orleans because trash is everywhere. But, that is the price you have to pay when you are just having too much fun! This Mardi Gras season has been great! New Orleans had its first Saints parade, congratulating those boys that brought us a superbowl victory. I am so glad I was able to see all of my Saints :)! In addition, I went to Zulu ball with one of my best friends this past Friday. It was both our first times. The Zulu ball was fun, but we both realize that it is catered to the “older generation.” This parade season was fun and I hope it is even better last year.
In addition to all of the fun, school is very stressful. It is very unfortunate that I am sick and I have a test on Friday. I hope I am able to pass. It is hard maintaining my GPA, but I have to do what I have to do. College is no joke…all of the fun and games are over. Midterms are next week and it’s just a bigger burden on my shoulders. I really hope I am able to pass with the grades I desire. Although, Xavier is stressful, this university is definitely bettering me. I love college, I just hate the work!
