Homecoming Weekend

This weekend was all about homecoming. I didn’t know what it meant and how exactly I was supposed to be participating in it. When I came to Ada one of the first things that I noticed was that people of United States celebrated American Football a lot. There were posters of football teams of Ada’s high school and ONU everywhere, former being the bulldogs and latter are called Polar Bears. I never understood the hype till I watched my first football game last weekend.

There was a parade first followed by lunch with the alumni. Then we finally went to the football stadium and saw all these people rooting for the men in black shirts I assumed they were playing for our university. I was right. I couldn’t really understand the rules properly but I kind of got a hold of it at the end of the game. It was fun because we won.

The homecoming weekend ended with me going to my first house party. Being a person who has never touched alcohol, my only other friend who could legally drink told me he was going to protect me and take me back safely if I were to drink.  Well, the night ended with him sleeping on someone’s carpet, completely wasted, while holding on to my pinkie as a sign of protection. Yes, I took him home instead. And, I was sober as a rock. But, it was the best weekend that I have had in Ada so far. You can check out my live tweets here
