Yes...it's really bound to happen at some point. And really...after 12 what doesn't taste good?
8. Enjoy Sunrise, sunset, or moonlight in the Waterfowl Park.
The waterfowl park is great anytime
10. See a live band (especially when sponsored by the SAC).
Bands like Plants & Animals, Wintersleep, and the Constantines come to play in Sackville...seriously. You should be sure to come to at least one show at George's Roadhouse- where the better bands play. It's kind of a walk from campus but well worth it.
12. Check out a Toonie Movie, Fridays at midnight at the Vogue.
More commonly referred to as the midnight movie. My first was The Dark Night...fantastic.
24. Learn to tell Student Services, Student Life, and SAC apart.
Umm...that's really not going to happen. That's why they are changing the name. Student Services is now The Registrar's Office. That's pretty self explanatory. Student Life includes Counselling, The Student Health Centre and the like. The SAC is the Students' Administrative Council but almost never referred to as such is pronounced Sack.
28. See a play at Windsor Theatre
Good advice...there are a few great shows a year.
38. Get to know your profs by their first name; get them to know your name too.
A major plus about being at Mount Allison is the small class sizes and personal attention given by professors...but you have to make the effort to establish a relationship with your profs. This will get more and more important as your move into smaller and smaller classes.
40. Learn the names of and set foot in every building on campus — all 43 of them.
Very unlikely...you won't have to even go near most of them...just focus on remembering the main residences, academic buildings, Gym, and Con Hall and you'll more or less be set. I'd even hazard a guess whoever came up with that can't name twenty-five of them.
