Spring has sprung at\nMcMurry and that means MSG\u2019s Spring Thing is back. The annual weeklong\ncelebration spearheaded by the McMurry Student government is a series of\ncooperated events among clubs on campus, whose goal is to have fun and serve\nthe community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the week, free\nactivities are available for all students and the week concludes with a service\nproject. The week started with a pool party planned by the McMurry Debate team.\nThe team had fun floaties and rented out the McMurry pool for a night of fun.\n\u201cEveryone who went was able to have a lot of fun swimming, listening to music,\nand hanging out with each other,\u201d says Debate team member Rachel\nBrandon-Hopper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Wednesday, there was a\nconcert brought in by McMurry Religious life. Justin Gambino is a Christian\nsinger who has opened for bands such as Casting Crows, amongst many other\ninfamous bands, and McMurry was glad to have him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shawna Johnson, a member\nof the spiritual life team said \u201cI met Justin Gambino at a Methodist youth camp\nwhere he was leading worship. He was such an amazing worship leader and I knew\nhe would be great to bring to McMurry.\u201d Gambino performed a series of his\noriginal songs as well as a few covers of other well-known songs. \u201cJustin\u2019s\nmusic is very relatable and personal to his audience. You could tell he really\nmade an impact on those who attended, and you could feel the energy in the\nroom,\u201d added Johnson. The nocturnal concert was a mellowing experience as\nJustin\u2019s voice rang throughout the auditorium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thursday, the campus center played host to a karaoke night. Hosted by Campus Activities Board, students gave rousing performances of classic songs. People laughed and joked as others sang in the background. The event–held outside in the courtyard–was a wonderful way to demonstrate that the weather was finally nice enough to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday brought about the\nannual student versus faculty kickball game. Dinner that evening was served by\nthe intramural field. With hot dogs and hamburgers in hand, students watched as\nfriends, professors, and advisors competed. This year, the staff took a rousing\nvictory against the students. \u201cGetting to chill outside with a bunch of friends\nand have a fun competition with our professors is my favorite part,\u201d said MSG\nSenator Garret Hurst. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saturday was dedicated for fundraising money for the Noah Project. \u201cThey [Noah Project] are a safe space for victims to feel safe from their abusers,\u201d said MSG Tradition Chair Bayli Avery, \u201cTheir mission is to empower victims to become survivors, and work to end domestic violence and sexual assault.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For $25, teams of two could enter a corn hole tournament with the chance of winning a mini-corn hole set. Teams faced off for some friendly competition. There was also a costume competition and teams came dressed in their best beach attire, fifties outfits, and so many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concluding a successful Spring Thing for this year, MSG is looking to make next year\u2019s Spring Thing even more exciting and engaging for students.
