Grab a partener and get to the Rock Wall!


Hello CAMPUS-RECers! Today is the first day of fall so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce an up-and-coming CREC advocate, Erin Rose (sitting to my right in the polka-dot dress) for her first blog. Erin is an upper level interior design student with a lot of advice to give. Enjoy her guest entry.

YOUR ticket to Campus Rec- Steph


With the present-day economic difficulties America is enduring, a social debate has arose about proper date etiquette. Does he pay? Does the person who asked pay? Or is it proper to split the bill? This can lead to some awkward situations.

I consider myself a traditional girl, but I would never expect a guy to pay each and every time we went out. Life is expensive these days! Dinner and a movie can cost anywhere from 30-50 dollars. Most of us starving students will never make more than the bare minimum while we’re in school.


So what’s the solution to this expensive and potentially awkward situation? Believe it or not, there are more options than staying in and doing nothing, or eating off the dollar menu at McDonalds.


Try using a resource that you already have access to, but don’t have to pay out of pocket for: the Student Rec Center. Plan a date with some kind of fun physical activity! The Rock Wall would be a great way for a couple to enjoy each others company. Climbing the Rock Wall is physically beneficial, light on the pocket and a great way to bond by building trust.


Exercising is proven to build positive energy between people, which can also be great for nourishing friendships. So what are you waiting for? Grab a partner and get to the Rock Wall!


The Rock Wall is open Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Sunday from 2 p.m. – 7 p.m.


YOUR ticket to a healthier YOU- Erin
