Relay for Life was this past Saturday, April 24. The weather, unfortunately, did not hold out for as long as some of the organizers may have expected. I was a participant on the New Complex team, and, as a freshman, I had never done anything quite like this before.
Our team arrived on the field at 7 p.m., and expected everyone to be setting up their tents. Every tent was set up already, and the crowd was watching the live music up on the stage. We hurried to set up our team's tent before the rain hit. We knew that the ominous sky wasn't going to hold until 7 a.m. As we were setting up, the field became scarier; tents were tipping and coming out of the ground, our tent wasn't up yet because we forgot a hammer for the stakes, and some of the team didn't eat dinner because of the rumored feast that the RSA tent had for the residence hall teams.
