Hey neiGhbors!

So Gvillians, as CA this month, I have to foster meaningful interpersonal relationships within our apartment complex.  I was nearly panicking this weekend as I contemplated ways to bring G together before my deadline today.  My mind raced as I tried to fall asleep on Saturday...what could the solution be...how could i foster bonding within the apartment complex....

Enter, Fire Alarm.  Comeon, you can't tell me you didn't feel a deep connection with other G-ers, standing outside at 4 a.m. and listening to the screeching sound.  I admit, some of you were not appreciating the long term benefits of the early alarm at the time, but in a decade you will be thanking me!  I can't wait for our 25th year reunion, coming back to Furman (then a national baseball powerhouse), and having you guys come up to me, shaking my hand for burning my popcorn and consequently bringing our entire apartment together.  Perhaps we'll have our own G-complex reunion.  Mark your calendars: Nov 6, 2061 on the north village volleyball court (we'll have catchphrase and apples to apples for those of us who haven't aged so well...).

Okay, for those of you not interested in tripping fire alarms to bond with others, here are a few ideas:

Elevator study room: what better place to meet people and knock out some homework while also trying to decode the many messages on the elevator door (seriously, what do some of those say?)

Bike rack stretching: perfect for post PAC workouts and meet/greets.

Parking lot meals: okay, this idea is just dumb, but I didn't want to turn meaningful without three facetious suggestions first.

(Turning meaningful...)  And the greatest bonding method of all: Smile!  Flash those teeth big around the campus and our apartment this week, G villians.
