BLUE CREW!

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!
