The record-breaking cold brought more than just ice and frozen pipes, it also brought the opportunity for students to make friends while remote classes were in effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rec at Texas A&M University \u2013 Kingsville (TAMUK) hosted Warm Up at the Rec during which students were able to come onto campus to enjoy hot chocolate and yard games on Monday, Jan. 26. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBeing here makes me happy and just having something to do is what keeps me going,\u201d Rec staff personnel Inari Vargas said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The yard games that were available for students to use included giant cup-pong, plastic axe throwing and bean bag toss. Competitive games like this allowed students to challenge themselves and their peers to friendly matches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m just looking to make more friends – and be more involved in on campus events,\u201d Business student Andrew Garcia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The staff at the Rec made sure the hot cocoa station was operational and that the students had everything they needed to enjoy the event<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d say the yard games have been pretty fun; me and my friends enjoyed playing the axe throw one the most,\u201d Chemical Engineering student Alex Perez said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By bringing students together over hot cocoa and friendly competition, the event highlighted the resilience of the TAMUK community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
