Oh the irony!
2. October 2008 by Sarah.
MBC was totally the college for me, but it became that even more so after I learned of Apple Day. In case you all forgot, I am an Apple Computer (MAC) geek hard core, although not as much as others I know. But still the same, having a school that celebrates Apple Day is totally cool!
MBC use to be surrounded by apple orchards. Every October for some reason or another the girls would go and pick apples and donate them to homeless shelters. Over the years Apple Day at MBC became more involved, including an official day off from classes.
Today it still has some of the tradition that it did so many years ago. Yesterday started off with piling on a bus to go to an apple orchard to glean apples. After that was the apple day brunch in the Dining Hall, everything had apples in it and it was very yummy. Then during the day is the carnival which is really fun. This year we had pony rides, mechanical bull, dunking for apples, musical chairs, cake walks, a dunk tank, and much more. This is the time for clubs to do a lot of fundraising and get the word out about the club.
The day before over the years been known as Apple Eve, a night in which students seem to think that they need to drink large amounts of alcohol and get in trouble. However this year was quite, no cops were called and all of our Judicial Board reps got some sleep. Attack the Pac is the event that is the new thing to do on Apple Eve, there are Mock-tails severed and many clubs get into some hard core dodge ball action. Yours truly was involved on some of this action, and have decided to never really play the sport. I just run around the court until I either get hit by a ball or am the only one left and just give up!
There you have it, Apple Day. Just one of the many MBC traditions that make this school so special.

The irony does not escape me that I chose a college that celebrates Apple Day! More information about the day and what I did today will be in a post tomorrow!
Happy Apple Day!
