BLUE
CREW!
So I drag my roommate Ivette with me
everywhere I go. This event happened to be the screening of the documentary “Bro
Code” at the UVA commons. I brought a ton of my own food and was so excited.
When we got there they decided to cancel it because not only did not that much
people turn out, but there were girls and no guys….and they were aiming for
more of a male community. Whoops. This guy was wearing a blue crew shirt so I
just said “hey! You in blue crew?” and he said “yeah” and then I said “wait!
When do you guys meet because I am really interested in joining” So he told us
there was a game that night and I was just like “NO WAY! CAN ME AND MY ROOMMATE
COME?” and he said yeah of course, because it is against the law to say no to
weirdo’s.
He told us
to meet him at the UVA fountain at 7 P.M. so me and my roommate hauled our
butts because she had to get all pretty for all the fly guys she could stare
at. We got to the fountain at exactly 7 and no one was there. Well there were
these two girls and I slowly started to creep next to them and it ended up they
were waiting for their ride so I just looked like a creep…. Yeah. We ran inside
and asked about the Blue Crew and the girl just said that she did not know but
she just saw them. SO THEY DIDN’T LEAVE, I thought. We finally got in contact
with them and we got….get this…..FREE T-SHIRTS!!! WHOOP WHOOP! We even saw the
mascot change.
The game was
the girl’s volleyball game against La Sierra University. When everyone was
ready to leave we did not know how we were getting there but this guy offered
us a ride so I just thought “get into a random stranger’s car? Why not?” The
people we rode with were freaking hilarious! Apparently we were in the car with
the president of ASI and the guy dressed up as a mascot. They were great people
and could not make me and Ivette stop laughing! When we finally arrived to the
game and everyone was so pumped up! I could not stop cheering and everyone was
so into it! I even let this guy paint my entire face! Complete with a mustache
and eyeglass painted on! I loved all the emotion and all the support! They kept
saying chants but I had no idea what they were saying so I just clapped. I
clapped a lot.
Out of
nowhere the fire alarm sounded. What just happened? A fire alarm? Really. We
had to all exit the building and wait ten minutes, then go back inside when the
alarm finally ended. We went back inside to cheer the team on. The girl’s
volleyball team here is amazing! They kept going and were jumping all high and
spiking all amazing! By the end of the game there were a lot of people on our
side. They were all cheering but they all looked older than me and Ivette so we
felt all cool and special. I screamed a little too loud though because people
kept looking at me like I was obnoxious but I was being obnoxious for our team,
so whatever.
When the
game ended everyone cheered because our team won! We could not help but
celebrate this awesome win! Ivette and I took a picture with the cougar because
I totally want a memory and I remembered that I needed proof that I was there.
On the ride to our dorm, we discovered that our designated driver was the
president of ASI! We had no idea and continued to talk and chat. I had so much
fun I am pretty sure I am going to be involved with it in the future! Blue Crew
was an awesome experience and I enjoyed it so much!
