Zone Late Night

So last Thursday (9/9) I worked my first late night. As someone who likes to go out on Thursdays nights I was definitely not looking forward to working, especially since I was getting texts from my roommates about all the fun they were going to have that night. I didn't think that many people would want to come spend their night at the Rutgers Zone, however I was dead wrong.

I got out of lab early so I arrived at the RutgersZone around 10pm, figuring I could get an office hour done before my shift started at 11. Good thing I came early because starting at 10pm R U Sure? sponsors an alternative to drinking event where we give out a free ice cream cone or float and tokens; a long line had already formed at the counter. Thankfully Ashley stayed late because from 10-1130 we did not stop working. I was really surprised by the turnout feel good that our establishment is a place for students to entertain themselves late at night without feeling the need to party.

By the end of the night the place calmed down significantly so I was able to put my iPod on the speakers and clean up. I have to admit that working until 2am wasn't too bad and I ended up actually having some fun. Although I am not jumping for joy at the thought of working late nights, next time I will definitely have a much more optimistic attitude and enjoy the fact that the students have a place to hang out and have fun.
