Step back in time and get ready to enjoy a blast from the past with our totally awesome 90’s-themed Orientation Extravaganza! Here’s the lowdown on what’s going down:

1. Welcome and Icebreakers (30 minutes): Kick things off with some classic 90's tunes as you arrive—think Backstreet Boys, Nirvana, and Spice Girls! We’ll start with a round of “Name That 90's Tune” to break the ice, followed by some gnarly team-building games like “Human Knot” and “Two Truths and a Lie” to get everyone chillin’ and minglin’.

2. Retro Relay Races (45 minutes): Lace up your high-tops and get ready for some slammin' relay races! We’ve got everything from “Sack Race” to “Three-Legged Race” and, of course, the ultimate “Water Balloon Toss.” The best part? Winners get some totally rad 90's swag like slap bracelets and scrunchies!

3. DIY Tie-Dye and Friendship Bracelets (45 minutes): Channel your inner 90's fashionista with a tie-dye session! We'll provide white tees, neon dyes, and rubber bands for you to create your own colorful masterpiece. Not into tie-dye? No worries! Grab some string and beads to make friendship bracelets. It’s the perfect way to make a new pal and remember this epic day.

4. 90’s Trivia and Snack Break (30 minutes): Refuel with some classic 90's snacks—Gushers, Dunkaroos, and Capri Sun, anyone? While you munch, team up for a trivia showdown featuring all your favorite 90's pop culture. From TV shows like “Friends” and “Fresh Prince” to iconic 90's lingo, it’s time to prove who’s the ultimate 90's kid!

5. Ships & Sailors (30 minutes): End the day on a high note with a "Simon Says" like activity to get you moving, thinking, and finding your team-mates. 

So, first years, dust off your denim overalls and neon windbreakers, because it’s time to get jiggy with it and make this the most unforgettable orientation ever. Catch you on the flip side!

This event is open to all first-year Honors students attending M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan. 

5:00 - 7:00 PM | Honors College & International Center | Minton MHC Students

Grab a to-go dinner with one of your meal swipes and head over for skit practice where first-year students will bring college success themes to life with a gnarly 90’s twist. Expect baggy jeans, neon everything, and epic tunes as we dive into the do’s and don’ts of college life.

Each skit is a fun, upbeat take on how to ace your time here—whether it’s tackling study skills, balancing social life, managing stress, or just plain surviving the residence halls. Think of it as your guide to college, delivered with a heavy dose of 90’s nostalgia. So, grab your flannel, lace up those high-tops, and get ready to be creative while learning the ropes of campus life.

It’s going to be all that and a bag of chips!

Skits will be presented on Saturday night - you'll have plenty of time to rehearse until then!

Join us under the starry night sky as we transform the campus lawn into a retro paradise. Grab your favorite blanket or bean bag chair, snag some popcorn and snacks (maybe even some Dunkaroos!), and settle in for a cinematic journey that'll have you feeling like a kid again.

As the sun sets, we'll dim the lights and cue the projector for a classic '90s flick that's all about teamwork, underdogs, and never giving up. It's a heartwarming tale that'll have you cheering for the misfits and rooting for the ultimate comeback.

But shh, we won't spoil the surprise by giving away the title just yet. Let's just say it involves a group of unlikely heroes, a ragtag team facing off against the odds, and a coach with a whole lot of heart. Get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe even bust a move to some iconic '90s tunes.

So first years, mark your calendars and don't miss out on this unforgettable night of movie magic. It's the perfect way to bond with your new classmates, make some memories, and kick off your college journey with a bang!
