Tag: Homecoming

Homecoming weekend was great. There were lots of games and activities taking place. We even had a concert with Common and N.E.R.D. which was great. A lot of my friends were pulled up on stage and were able to chill with Common and N.E.R.D. One thing that I participated in was called the Leader of the Pack. Leader of the Pack is NC-State’s way of choosing a homecoming king and queen. It differs from any other school because the main focus is not on a student’s popularity, but on their leadership, academic acheivement, and commitment to service in the community and NC-State. I went through the application and interview process and was one of three finalist for the males. As a finalist I had to campaign to get the student body to vote for me. I was also able to ride in the Homecoming parade, go to the Homecoming football game and eat in the Chancellor’s box, and go out on the field during half-time. They announced the winners on the field. Although I did not win, it was still a great experience. Even being considered a finalist was an honor. And although we did not win the football game, it was still a good one, lol. This was probably the best homecoming that I’ve participated in.
