One of the most exciting days for FAU students is right around the corner: gameday. Students have been excited for football for a while and with last week's win at USF, we can't wait to see our team take the field.
For this game, I was given the opportunity to make two highlight videos that will be featured on the Jumbotron. The first video, a clip on the success of FAU football this year, was awesome to make. Despite only three games, not only did our football team already get their first "W," but it came right before their first home game, making the anticipation for the MTSU game that much higher. The second video I had to make was commemorating the monster season our baseball team had last year, clinching the Sun Belt Conference championship title and moving on to the regionals.
As I was making these videos though, the theme of winning really stuck out to me. I was inspired to just take a step back and see how we students have become more involved and enjoy our little successes. This is my last semester as an FAU student and intern and with my four and a half years (I'm a super senior), it's incredible how much the school has grown in terms of both culture and numbers. The Athletics department recently launched the FAU "Hootigans," a free student membership group in which students are awarded for their participation in FAU home events.
There are certain days during the year that every FAU student should look forward to, Saturday's game is one of the days.
