Thanksgiving Day is always a fun and special time at PCC. 🙂

You have a special thanksgiving breakfast (which i did not to) at either 7:30am or 9am, then you have a Thanksgiving Praise Service at 10:30am, where you are reminded to be thankful every day, and not just during this one day. After that, i went to the beach to get some pictures as well as went to Fort Pickens. To get to the beaches, one has to drive over two bridges, one of them is about 1/4 mile long if i remember right.

After the beach, i came back on campus to watch the men’s soccer championship, known as the Turkey Bowl. It’s a fun time for students and the teams involved with crazy stuff before the game and during half time.

After that is all done, a special thanksgiving dinner is prepared at serving times are at 3pm, 4:30pm, and at 6pm at the two main eating places on campus.

I also need to mention that during this few days, PCC has College Days, which allows high school students to come check out the campus, go to classes, stay in the dorm rooms, and experience what college life is like.

In the evening on Thanksgiving, the students can go cheer on their men’s basketball team as they take on the alumni Eagles team or they can go to what we call Fine Arts Series. It’s where PCC has special preformers invited such as an opera, world-renowned choir groups, or even have their own faculty and staff put on a production play. This FAS is a production play called “Our Town”. The FAS has three preformances and each student is required to go to one of them. Added to this, each FAS has it’s own dress code and it is formal. So, the guys get dressed up in suits and some even wear a tux. Where as the women wear formal dresses. They have two of these a year. i should probably also note here that the flower shops in town probably have an increase in sales during these times because most guys buy their date a flower and some women buy their date a corsage.

So, that is how i spent five thanksgivings during my college life.

Now i need to go to bed because it;s getting close to midnight and i will start my journey back to the cold weather. However not before i stop in Nashville, and see a good friend from college and her family.
