Three Fun Ways to Celebrate Easter in the Dorms

Easter is this weekend and as students, we may not have to opportunity to do something major with our families, especially if our homes are a distance away. We do, however, have some options of how to enjoy ourselves right here in the dorms on campus. Here are some of my favorite ideas...

1. Easter Egg Hunt. The Student Union supposedly held one of these this week, but I have yet to see any eggs on campus. I suggest a hunt between friends. Go buy some cheep eggs at WalMart and fill them with candy or little toys or even nothing as a joke. Hide them all around your dorm or apartment parking lot and around the buildings. Then have everyone take off in search of them. Maybe even make it a contest for whoever finds the most eggs and have some sort of a winning prize.

2. Egg Toss. You know the traditional game. If you want to make it really interesting, use raw eggs. Grab a group of lively friends and head to a lot or field on campus. Put team members on each end and toss away, trying not to break too many. The person with the least broken wins. Feel free to incorporate fun rules such as standing on one leg or tossing backwards.


3. Egg dying. This one is my favorite! It can be messy of course, but still fun. Get a group together in your room or the lobby of your dorm. Have everyone bring a dozen or so eggs and have some colored dye ready. Bring napkins. Lots of napkins. There are even some fun designs and ideas you can research online to make it interesting. Go egg crazy.
