This week there are few new things happening around your
college…
It is the run up to Valentine’s Day and love is in the air
around us! The ambassadors will be selling chocolate hearts for you to give to the
one who holds your heart! They will be sold next week at the cafeteria during
dinner by our ambassadors at £1 a bag and they are also available at Erin’s
desk in Student Services. They are also being delivered around the college on
Friday 12th February.
There is also an Instagram competition running for Safer
Internet Day. This promotes our use of the internet and helps people stay safe
while surfing the internet. Ambassadors will be taking teddies and hearts to
classes for everyone to take pictures with! Make sure you put your photos on
twitter or Instagram and #ShareaHeart and #FELife.
In March there will be a fancy dress walk-a-thon,
skip-a-thon, jump-a-thon don’t wear a thong fun run to raise money for Sport
Relief. Sport and Public Services students will be marshalling the fun run and
hopefully lots of people get involved! Start signing up now J It starts at Navigation Point and there will
be a layout that lasts a mile! Hope to see people involved!
Games Club! The Games Club is being set up and will be
sorted out soon! We are open to offers on game but so far it will include a
range of consoles from the Xbox 360 to the Nintendo Wii! There may even be
retro gaming involved – the Gamecube and the original Xbox may make an
appearance! Any games that people may be interested in can be requested to Erin
or any of the ambassadors and we will try our best!
I think I’ve covered everything from our latest meeting so
now onto basic college life…
Okay so I’m a 17 year old girl, and my genre of music is
based around pop-punk and rock music. I’m mentioning this because last night I
went to a Bowling for Soup gig in Leeds, believe me it was amazing! They closed
with 1985 and then everyone was shouting for an encore so they officially ended
on Girl All the Bad Guys Want. During the set they ‘rocked too hard’ and blew
two amp leads so they had to stop twice during the set. Today is Thursday and
let me tell you my throat hurts from singing so much! Being in Hartlepool FE
gives me the opportunity to see bands like this because I can balance my social
life and things I enjoy doing with my college life easily. I also have a
weekend job in a takeaway and my college life doesn’t affect my ability to do
these things and be able to provide for myself.
I am in college three days a week and I have made some good
friends here who I feel will be with me later in life as we are all really
close. Overall I love being in Hartlepool College of Further Education and I
wouldn’t change it or my time here for anything.
