Halloween

This past week Coe College was busy.  Thursday was Halloween, and there were plenty of people roaming campus all day dressed in a Halloween costume.  At the soccer game there was even a costume contest!  To top the festive weekend off, Florida Georgia Line performed at the U.S. Cellular Center right here in Cedar Rapids.  Tickets sold out fast, but Coe students were lucky because our student senate had pre-ordered tickets and we were able to buy them at a discounted price of only $10!  It is crazy how cheap that is compared to what the public paid, and because of this all Coe students got to sit together.



I didn't spend my weekend at Coe, though.  Instead, I went to Iowa City and visited my sister since there was a home Iowa game.  This was my first time actually visiting and staying there this year, and that goes to show how much I love this place.  I've only gone home once since school started in August, and this was also one of the first weekends I've spent away from Coe.  I always feel like I'm going to miss something if I'm not here- a good football game, a performer in the pub, and just being with friends.  That's why Coe is not considered a "suitcase college."  What is that you may ask?  A suitcase college is when people go to their classes during the week then everyone goes home over the weekend.  Here at Coe almost every single person stays all week.  Don't get me wrong, going home can be nice and all, but Coe is definitely a home away from home for most people.  Anyways, even though Iowa lost this weekend to Wisconsin, Coe beat Wartburg! While I may be an Iowa fan, my true team definitely pulled through this weekend and I couldn't be prouder to be a Kohawk.

The rest of this week is going to be a crazy one with a Nursing showcase for prospective nursing majors tomorrow, Founder's Day for Delta on Thursday, and a campus visit day this Saturday.  If you are a prospective student and want to get a great look at what Coe is all about, it's not too late to sign up and come Saturday! Plus, there's a home football game, and it's our last one.  Might as well come and eat some food, have some good times with current Kohawks, and watch Coe football beat Luther.

Kohawk love,
