My Knightlife

Unbelievable attendance tonight in the Knights’ Court. I never expected to see over 70 students come up to the Knights’ Court for the SGA Election Party. It was outstanding attendance and everyone had a blast. We went through ten pizzas, chips, novelty ice cream, sodas, and more within seconds that we had to go back out to Publix to get more. Throughout the night we raffled off our new SGA spirit shirts and gift cards. Students were getting psyched for all the different games like arranging the presidents in order, filling out short quizzes, or even coloring in the country with whom they thought was going to win each state.

If there is anyone that goes to Lynn and is not proud they should have been watching CNN news throughout the entire election. None other than our very own professor, Dr. Robert Watson, was reporting in the studio the election updates. Those students who did not know him were shocked and amazed. After seeing Dr. Watson speak at Be Counted last week, I am not surprised in the least that he is represented on national TV in the election updates. His knowledge and expertise is remarkable and it was great to watch him on TV.

I believe that speeches made by McCain and Obama will both go down in history as well educated professional speeches admired my all. McCain, although defeated, shows inspiration to his supporters for the future of our country. The moment when Obama was announced, defined an important time in the history of our country. Screaming, laughter, celebration tears, and excitement surrounded the Knights’ Court….it was the Lynn community coming together to share a piece of US history.
