Trinity Flash Rave 2010

(Written as part of Official Student Blogger Program for Trinity University).         
       Newest addition to Trinity's Tradition, and by far also the coolest one is Trinity Flash Rave. It started in Spring 2009 and enjoyed popular support of Trinity students. I got to participate in Trinity Flash Rave 2009 (Fall Semester) for the first time in real time and space. At a time when Final Exams are already driving students crazy, this is one event where students voluntarily choose to go crazy over dance numbers in Holy Mecca during Finals- The Library- as library staffs watch with amusement.

                                                      
      Having to miss on sports due to severe cold weather (that San Antonio has been facing since weeks)  and exacerbated by busy Finals Week, there couldn't have been better time for some muscoskeletal movement. While I usually derive fun by watching others dancing, this time I unrestrained myself and simply melted into the crowd. It is one time where you get to see people, who would normally not dance, go absolutely wild. Geeks and party freaks alike, danced under the common banner of "Flash Rave" while live human bodies floated and translated five feet from the ground on strong shoulders of students. And, this was a great break from stressful Final Week. I'm glad Trinity introduced this coolest, newest tradition.
