Travels with Tiberius: Spring Fling
Student Life and Leadership held its annual Spring Fling at Brighton Campus on Wednesday. This year, due to a lot of particularly rainy days lately, most of the activities were inside the PAC center. Tiberius took a stroll among the activities and food trucks, and we asked our fearless mascot about his experience.
Veronica: How did you feel about the new location this year?
Tiberius: I have to say, being mostly inside when it may rain is much more conducive when you are made of paper.
Veronica: Food trucks – there were three and, of course, one for ice cream. Which was your favorite?
Tiberius: I’m a sandwich type of guy because I am flat like a piece of bread, so I’d say Roc City Sammich. Although I think someone should tell them that the word sandwich is misspelled.
Veronica: I see you got a T-shirt. Did you tie-dye it?
Tiberius: It is really hard to tie-dye when you don’t have bendable arms. So, I opted just to get photographic proof when I visited that table.
Veronica: What other activities did you take part in?
Tiberius: I tried to paint some rocks, but the same problem – no bendable arms. Then I tried my hand, ahem, foot at this soccer pinball-like inflatable thing. That didn’t work. Then, two things I just watched other people do because I am not as fearless as many may think – some kind of inflatable that had a big spinning blowup lever, and you had to duck or jump to avoid getting hit. There was also a mechanic bull. Now that, if I had bendable knees, I may have tried!
Veronica: Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about that you enjoyed?
Tiberius: I did have some yummy desserts at the PAC center and then tried to work it off by busting a move to tunes from the Pulse. I mean, these flat abs don’t happen by accident!
Photo caption: A photo collage of a bulletin board with ten photos in Polaroid-type frames. Tiberius, the flat 8 ½ by 11 cut out on the left-hand side of the photo along with the text: "Travels with Tiberius." Within the various photo frames, Tiberius is shown in various places with students at the Spring Fling event. In the photos on the top row, Tiberius is inside a t-shirt, in front of a soccer ball, and close up in front of a tie-dye table. In the second row, Tiberius is in front of a tray of sweets, in a tree in front of food trucks in a parking lot, and on a chair in front of an inflatable. In the last row, a student is holding Tiberius, giving a thumbs up. Tiberius is lying next to rocks and markers, and in the last photo, he is in front of a large mechanical bull.
