With COVID-19 still affecting our everyday lives and routines, it is always nice to have a fun event that reminds us that we can still make memories during difficult times.
Jav-A-Crush was a Valentine’s event hosted on Feb. 11 by residence life, student activities and the campus board activities. The event held multiple activities such as a DIY build-a-bear, Valentine’s cards, bingo, cookie decorating and canvas paintings.
“This gives students a chance to be creative and have an engaging evening of activities on campus with no cost to the students,” Director of Student Activities Erin McClure said.
McClure talked about how last spring, many of the students enjoyed the build-a-bear event because they enjoyed the idea of stuffing their own animals and after it being created it was a gift to keep or give to a loved one.
“I really would like to go to another event like this one in the future, the one I liked the most was making the stuffed animals and I enjoyed all the other different stations that they had,” Business major Araceli Mireles said.
Mireles expressed that the only thing that would have made the event better was if the timing of each station had been more spread out as she wanted to attend each one but had been too busy at others in order to do so.
Although with the social distancing still in effect, university organizations take necessary precautions in order to keep students safe. Vet tech major Stephanie Walker expressed that those who hosted the event took all the necessary precautions to social distance and be safe.
Because of the popularity of the event it is possible there may be a similar one in the future depending on how other events turn out as well.

“We try to have a few annual events and then mix up other events so the students see new activities every year. Some of the major activities include a virtual concert, drive-in movie, a cooking demonstration with Chef Craig and an eSport event,” McClure said.
