Zombie Attack - UGA Undergraduate Admissions

Zombie Attack - UGA Undergraduate Admissions Zombie Attack As I was walking down to the Tate Student Center yesterday, I saw a student swinging an athletic sock (with a few rolled up socks tucked inside for weight and balance) run by me. A few minutes later, I saw another student with a nerf gun shoot a foam dart at a fleeing student. I had no clue as to what was going on, and it was only after I read this mornings Red and Black newspaper that I understood; it was Humans vs. Zombies in a week-long, campus-wide game of tag. In 2005, two students from Goucher college started the Humans vs. Zombies game, and it has since spread to over 100 colleges throughout the nation. Silly? Yes. Odd? Yes. But it looked like a lot of fun, and I am guessing I would have played it when I was in college. I am glad to see that way that students can have a safe way to relax, be creative, and interact with a wide range of people they never knew before. The Red and Black article stated that over 1,000 students are playing this week. While the admissions process always seems like it is strictly about grades and test scores, please remember that college is about way more than that. It is about life, and fun, and friends (and of course a lot of studying!). Have fun everyone, and enjoy your week. And remember, look out for zombies!
