My first Homecoming was a total culture shock more than anything I’ve ever known. I have always thought it was just the typical day of the game that was really busy, but I had no clue what was going on during the rest of the days here at Southern University.
On the first day, Sunday, I didn’t really intend on going to the fashion show because I wasn’t at all interested but it turned out to be pretty nice. The different styles were showcased perfectly as most of the models slayed. Monday and Tuesday I truly felt the Homecoming spirit, but more on a divine level. At the Gospel concert and the Convocation, I felt my spirits moved with powerful messages from people almost every state, but then the true Homecoming spirit kicked in.
Wednesday I didn’t expect such a huge turn out for Ultimate Pretty Wednesday, but it was packed. Alphas had crossed the night before so there was a huge Greek presence, plus the several spectators who watched and started Jiggin’ at times. Thursday the concert was cool but the waiting killed me, especially the wait to see Lucci, who I didn’t really care to see, but it was so cool to see Gucci Mane in concert for the first time since he’s from Atlanta like me.
Friday and Saturday were busy as I don’t know what! I got up in time to see the end of the parade and continued my day tailgating. I got so much food and took so many leftovers home it was ridiculous. To top it all off, the Jaguars won 49-17 in the homecoming game, it was just the best way to end the week. It actually made me look forward to the next homecoming next year.
