In light of VESHIEA I thought it would be fitting to write
about Central Campus- the heart of ISU; 20 acres of land set aside for student
use only. I’m sure even with this rainy weather you have
stopped by there at least once this week. During VESHIEA, Homecoming, Destination
Iowa State and other social and club functions our Central Campus is used as a place
to unify students from all different background, beliefs and majors. Even
without organized gatherings on average how many times do you go through
Central Campus?
A little bit of history for all of you out there Central
Campus was set aside by our first president Adonijah Welch. Its design was planned
from the positioning of the buildings to the types of trees and their placements. Central Campus is like a temporary
instillation; each day the campus is different and it’s up to you the student
to take advantage of it. The day can
change so quickly, with the smile of a friend or the joy of students on a
perfect day. On that perfect day get out there and lay around, meet new people
and play a game of flag football. Take
advantage of this time, of the life that
we are in, the easy of meeting someone new and creating a new relationship. Hope you guys get out there and enjoy Central
Campus. After all is that what life is
about? Enjoying those little moments and making the most of them?
