How are you celebrating your first week at school?
First week of school is looking for free things at ThunderFest mostly and enjoying not having homework for the very short time I have and getting back together with friends I haven’t seen all summer.
What kind of free stuff did you get?
Little snacks and bits of food. I got some pens. The planner is really helpful to get all the time. Mostly just little bits and pieces that are just pretty helpful.

How are you celebrating your first week at school?
I don’t know, just meeting new friends and getting back with old friends too, just seeing what they’ve done over the summer. That’s about it.
What kind of free stuff did you get?
So far? Just a little bit of UVic swag, that’s about it. I guess I’ll find some free stuff here, too.

How are you celebrating your first week at school?
Probably sleeping or being with friends most likely, or being in one of these spirit celebrations or going to the soccer games.
What kind of free stuff did you get?
I got a lot. I got a whole bunch of buttons; I think I have like 13 buttons at home and now I got a whole bunch of pamphlets too. And I think in the Clearihue building they were setting up booths and I just sorta went around there and got all the information from those places.

I got some t-shirts, a couple of notebooks in my Spirit Pack, some macaroni, and a lot of free stickers, a lot of stickers.
