Music greeted me on the way down the stairs to the Valentine’s Boogie Down at ACA House, mixing with the tempting aroma of popcorn as it wafted from the TV room. Red streamers hung from the doorway to welcome students to the event.
The event, which started at 8:30 on Thursday Feb. 11, had a chill, social atmosphere with students hanging out, talking with each other and having fun relaxing. Some students munched on refreshments or sipped on drinks, both provided at the event.
SCAD Atlanta Radio provided the music for the event, and a colorful disco-ball accented the tunes. There was even a station for photo ops, and there was a table with glow bracelets in pink and purple colors. There were even balloons to bop around.
Students milled in and out, sitting down to hang out with their friends. There was also a best-dressed contest, in which the best-dressed student of the night was presented with an award. With that incentive the attendees were snappily dressed.
Gabi Mancini, second-year game development major, said, “I got to meet some really cool people who I hadn’t seen around the dorm before … I was only there for maybe an hour, but I thought it was super cute! The decorations were great and I had lots of fun.” Kiki deCoursey, second-year animation major, said, “The event was fun and the decorations and atmosphere were really great!”
All in all, the Valentine’s Boogie Down was a great way to kick off the Valentine’s Day weekend with music, hanging out and yummy treats.
