But if fraternity parties aren\u2019t your cup of tea, then there are a myriad of other fun activities to do in Danville. I would start by looking into whatever activity SAC might be hosting. Just last month they hosted a wonderful watch party for Crazy Rich Asians, and everyone gasped at the beautiful end to that wonderful romcom. They also host many events throughout the year that are absolutely worth attending, such as Flame Fest and Carnival. One of my favorite parts is that SAC activities are often on Friday or Saturday evenings, thus allowing you to do something non-fraternity related without feeling like you are missing out.<br \/>\n\tIf the SAC activities don\u2019t hold your interest, you should look into the outdoors club or the international students club. They are almost constantly hosting activities both during breaks and over weekends. These activities are very fun and welcoming to any students who might not have anything else to do during the break times.<br \/>\n\tFinally, if you have a good group of friends, you can always organize fun group activities to do together. These could be as simple as a powerpoint night in a reserved classroom, where everyone gives a powerpoint on a topic of their choice, a watch party for a movie or show you all love in Vahlkamp or Young 113 (both reservable online), or just a boardgame you borrowed from the Centre or Boyle County library. The libraries also have many movies that are available to borrow, so you don\u2019t even have to own any streaming subscriptions or sail the high seas to have fun!<br \/>\n\tOutside of Centre, there are many events in Danville that are open to the whole community. To see what might be coming up on a given weekend, look at the Danville Boyle County visitor bureau website. If there\u2019s  a big activity that anyone can attend, it is probably on\/listed there. Local events are also posted on the bulletin boards in Dry Stack, and in the entryways to the CC. Peruse those at some point and you might find your next fun time!<br \/>\n\tFinally, if you are looking for something worth doing, you can check out the CentreEngage website, found on the CentreNet home page. This website contains lists of service opportunities in the local community. These are all activities that you can help with on the weekends while connecting to the broader Danville community. My favorite moments in college were on the weekends where I did not know what I was going to be doing at the start, but my friends and I made do with whatever we wanted. Take any opportunity you can to try something new out!!!<\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<b>Who are you going as for Halloween?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThis year I was planning on going as Fitzwilliam Darcy from my favorite novel Pride and Prejudice. I have been trying to convince the Flame to join me in this and to dress up as one of the Bennett sisters. They seem to be okay with the plan, but aren\u2019t entirely sold. We will see how this plays out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What should I do over the weekends at Centre?
