Recent activities and events as a college student

I’ve had such a fun and exciting, but super busy past two weeks, with parents weekend right before thanksgiving break, and then a very fun-filled Thanksgiving break seeing all my friends and family! I loved doing all of it and getting the chance to see everyone out and about! Being at umd was such a treat and I’ll definitely be going back next year, it was all so fun!

College life is often a blend of academic challenges and vibrant social events that create lasting memories. One key moment in the semester is Parents Weekend, where students invite their families to visit campus, share meals, and explore university life together. At the University of Maryland (UMD), Parents Weekend is especially popular, allowing students to reconnect with loved ones amid their busy schedules. Following this, the Thanksgiving break serves as a perfect opportunity to relax and celebrate with both friends and family. Many students host or attend Friendsgiving events—a modern twist on the traditional holiday—where close friends gather to share food and gratitude, reinforcing social bonds away from home. The social calendar continues with energetic outings, such as exploring local Baltimore spots for brunch or other weekend activities like BOW, creating a dynamic mix of fun and community spirit. These events highlight the balance between academics and personal life that defines vibrant college experiences. For students at UMD and similar universities, participating in these traditions not only enriches their college journey but also helps build a supportive network that enhances wellbeing and academic success. Planning ahead to attend such events, making meaningful connections, and embracing the campus culture are great ways to maximize the benefits of college years.
