The temperature is significantly cooler as the sun begins to set. More students and their moms are walking around campus while traveling from activity to activity. Happy families are grabbing a bite to eat at the restaurants on Green Street and waiting in lines at the bars for happy hour.
Many students are taking their moms to go see the Illini Musical’s production of “Big Fish” at Lincoln Hall among other events.
“Today, we are going to go see the Illini Musical’s production of ‘Big Fish’ and then we’re grabbing dinner after,” said Allison Stortzum, freshman in LAS.
“We are coming back from a painting event at the Campus Honors Program house and on our way to see ‘Big Fish’ at Lincoln Hall,” said Serena Naji, freshman in LAS.
It is a common theme among students and their moms to take it easy today in preparation for an activity-filled day tomorrow. Many of the activities are provided through their registered student organizations, whereas sporting events are also popular to watch.
“Tomorrow, we are going to watch the baseball and softball games,” said Laurie Stortzum, an Illini mom.
This weekend promises to be full of events and fun-filled memories. Check The Daily Illini for more updates throughout Moms Weekend.
