tips for surviving pan af week STEPHANIE TATE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
PLAN, PLAN, PLAN: Pan Afrikan week is full of events. From Friday to Saturday, there is something to do everyday. Make sure that you have planned out what events you’d like to attend in advance or you’ll end up missing out. Get your money right: A few of the events and almost all of the parties cost money. Buy your tickets to events that cost money early so that you can get the best deals possible. You don’t want to be stuck paying $20 at the door when you could have paid $5 online. Go to class: I understand that some of the lunch time events are enticing. I also understand that after some weeknight parties, you might want to sleep in. Resist the temptation. We are approaching the end of the semester and you probably don’t have any absences left so go to class. Act accordingly: One of the most fun parts of the week is the opportunity to go to parties with your peers and even some alumni. With that being said, be mindful of how you act when you’re out. Pan-Af is an annual week, but your reputation follows you throughout the rest of your NC State career. Step out of your intellectual comfort zone: There are so many educational events during Pan-Af. Take some time to engage in a discussion about something new.
