They were such a fun, spirited group of girls who cured my need to sing songs that I didn't understand. I miss singing in a choir. What does this have to do with RutgersZone? Well the last Friday Night event I worked was the awesome Choir Night Karaoke. I've done karaoke night before but this time we had the pros stepping up to the mic and belting out chords. I was excited to see what songs they would choose, and if they would include harmony. The two choirs I noticed that were in attendance were the Kirkpatrick Choir and the Glee Club. The groups were so experienced that they didn't even need help with setting up the karaoke. All night the crew and I handed out drinks and appetizers to the vocalists. Many of the songs sung were for pure entertainment (i.e. Bills Bills Bills by Destiny's Child) and others were song to be performed seriously in front of their friends and strangers. I even joined the fun as I sang “Maria Maria” by Carlos Santana, much to Sam Berman's dismay because he wanted me to sing “Forget You” by Cee-Lo Green (whoops). All in all it was a fun night that wasn't any more hectic than any other event. I think I'm getting used to this manager thing, as I don't get as flustered as I used to. Now if I could only improve on counting out faster.....

What is this blog?
The RutgersZone is a revolutionary new space located in the Livingston Student Center on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. The space includes games like Skee-Ball and Pool, an array of HD Satellite televisions and a full-service ice cream/soda shop.
In addition to creating a unique experience on campus for Rutgers students, the RutgersZone also aims to develop life and leadership skills of the staff members working in the space.
This blog, the RutgersZone Experiment, is a chronicle of this ground-breaking experience being shared by seven undergraduate student managers and one professional staff general manager. These students are being tasked with working as a team to create an unmatched on-campus experience for our guests, learning to become effective managers and constantly "pushing the envelope" for what is expected on a college campus. As a part of their employment experience, each student manager is asked to blog at least once per week about the processes associated with opening this space or developing as a manger.
