It's official college night is upon us. For my readers who do not know what college night is, it's basically Montevallo's homecoming. However, this homecoming is not based around a football game or basketball game or even baseball or soccer. It is based around a play. I know what you're thinking, how is a play the center of a homecoming tradition. It's hard to explain, especially if you have never been a part of it.

So I'm just going to dive right into this, college night is a time for all the students to be a part of a side; purple, gold, or green. Green takes care of the technicalities of college night and is an unbiased side. Gold side and Purple side dual it out from the time students get back in January until February 13th when the last show is performed and the winner is announced.

As a student participating in college night, you basically live, breath, eat college night and you definitely don't sleep! It's a very stressful time and it takes pretty much everything out of you. The past two years I have participated in college night as a Purple Side Cheerleader! It was great and I'm so happy I could be a part of this long lasting tradition. This year is a little different though. I am now an old and forgotten alum (purple side gets that). I don't have to go to practice every night, I don't have to worry about writing essays and studying for exams on top of practice until 2 a.m. I simply get to show up to PJ party, the sporting events, and shows and not worry about a thing. I get to watch all the new faces on my side play their heart out and hopefully win! I can't wait until college night is in full swing and I get too see all my lovely purples!! Stay tuned for more updates on this old purple's first college night as an alum!
