So I’m up here in Orlando for ONE NIGHT and ONE NIGHT ONLY, basically just to make sure that my apartment is clean and bare and ready for me to check out tomorrow morning. And since I’m still here for the nightttime (and everything’s packed), I had nothing to do tonight, so I figured I’d grab my friends and hang out with them for a bit…we go to Jimmy John’s for dinner, cause raucousness there for a bit, then head back to my room in Tower 3…and while en route, we notice that there’s a spot in the corner of our lobby for “donations”: basically anything still in slightly good, usable, working condition that people don’t want anymore. And what a buinch of things people threw out! We found a ton of useful items in Tower 3 alone and afterward, content with our pickings, headed back to my room.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! We decide to make a night out of it and visit the rest of the Towers (1-4) and loot the rest of them as well–I mean, you’d never know what you find, right? So we head off to Towers 1 and 2 and finally 4 to pick up a bunch of other things. And we certainly did get a whole bunch of items. Here’s just a short list of some of what we acquired:
- Cabinets
- Shelving units
- Beanbag chair
- Three printers
- A fan
- Dart board
- Mini-popcorn machine
- TONS of frisbees
- and, Lauren’s best score: A LAZY-BOY OTTOMAN! Yes, that’s right,a FULL RECLINER, complete with leg rest. THAT was amazing.
So now we’ve got a TON of awesome loot, and a new tradition I’m certainly gonna look forward to in years to come…you can pick up some great deals indeed; even if I don’t end up using everything (like with the printers), I can always sell them for some extra cash!
So go out there, UCF! Find some stuff and partake in social equity!
Hooray!
I enjoyed my good friend Joel from high school coming to visit me so I could show him around UCF and what college is like; I also enjoyed heading up to Jacksonville with him to take off a weekend and relax and tour UNF. It’s an interesting campus–very reminiscent of UM to me, although with apparently much cleaner bathrooms according to someone I know. Then we watched RHPS tonight–I learned some more callbacks–and we’ll head back to campus tomorrow to drop me off and he’ll head back to South Florida. Tomorrow (Sunday, the last day of the weekend) I’m really looking forward to: laundry, fencing, and Dexter with friends and hopefully someone else. Here’s to this weekend! It’s been awesome so far and I hope the awesomeness continues into the week! I’m certainly happy!
