Students of Texas A&M University-Texarkana (TAMUT) were leaving their wallets at home and grabbing their blankets and chairs for the last event of the Best Week Ever. On Friday, August 28th, students from TAMUT and people from the community of Texarkana gathered on the lawn of the University Center to find a comfortable spot to lay their blankets or place their lawn chairs before sunset. <\/p>\n

Every year for the first week of classes the Campus Activities Board (CAB) of TAMUT puts together a variety of events and activities for students to attend. For the last event of the week was a free showing of Marvel\u2019s Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em>. CAB started setting up the inflatable movie screen before sunset, but had some technical difficulties. <\/p>\n

While everyone was waiting for the movie screen to be fixed, people were lining up for free popcorn, cotton candy, and water. CAB members kept the entertainment going and dared a few students to take on the bean boozled<\/em> challenge while waiting. The challenge involved people eating a normal flavor and an odd flavor jelly bean. Kids were dancing to the music and people were sitting around catching up with friends. <\/p>\n

Before everyone found a spot and got comfortable, the superheroes of CAB managed to save the night and get the screen projector working. The turnout was maybe enough to fill a movie theatre. People chose their spots on the lawn without worrying about not having enough seats. <\/p>\n

What better way to end a Friday night than with a free movie and snacks? It turned out to be an outstanding event, and proved a nice way to unwind after a stressful first week of class. Despite early technical difficulties the Best Week Ever ended successfully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
