What am I going to do in such a small city??

I must confess this was one of my main concerns when I first arrived in Fort Smith. I come from a medium-sized town in Spain, plus I’ve spent the last years in several big cities, where there is always something going on. Honestly, I was scared that my stay at UAFS would be boring but, luckily, soon the contrary would be proven to me:

My favorite activity so far, if I must choose one, would be the Howdy Dance. We don’t really listen to country music in Spain, and it was really funny to see the people line dancing and to ride the bouncy horses. I also spotted some really cute cowboy boots that I want to buy ;)

The Casino Night was also a lot of fun. Blackjack, roulette, slot machines… it looked like a real casino! Of course I didn’t win anything, I’m not a good gambler, but I met several new people and I ate a week’s quantity of pizza and cookies.

A totally different activity was “Color me different,” and artsy activity aiming to promote tolerance. Even though we all come in different wrappings, there is always something you can find you have in common. Seating around a canvas, different students from different majors and backgrounds gathered together to create something beautiful.

To sum up, if you don’t want to, you don’t get bored at UAFS! Every week, there is at least something going on. You don’t need a big city to have big fun!
