This previous Friday the Black Student Organization, or BSO, hosted their annual “Welcome Back Cookout” and it was an event you shouldn’t have missed. Although it was only two hours long it was a fun filled time of food, dance, and friendship. There were people working on the grill to cook hotdogs, hamburgers, and even veggie burgers. As well, as different toppings and other sides provided by both the BSO itself and the Center for Student Diversity to top off your cookout meal. Food wasn’t all that was provided at this cookout though.
What is a cookout without music? There was music playing the whole time, from the latest hits we hear on the radio, to the oldies that we can’t help but to break out in dance to. The thing that really made this cookout fun was when songs like the Wobble and other line dancing songs came on where everyone felt compelled to get up and join in. While this cookout was held to welcome students back to campus, it wasn’t the sole reason that the cookout was held. The BSO also aimed to collect donations for Pineapple Kids, an organization dedicated to homeless children living in the Pineapple Inn. This made the cookout double as both a way to social with people you already know and meet new people, as well as a way to raise donations for a worthy cause. The Jamestown Field was the perfect location for this cookout because as the sun was setting it gave the perfect lighting for those Instagram, Snapchat, or even Facebook worthy pictures. So if you missed out on nothing else, you definitely missed out on the best photo shoot opportunity. Overall the cookout was an event that was enjoyable to attend and if you missed it this BSO event, make sure to keep an eye out for the next event, and even be on the ready to come to the cookout next year!
