And then we had a dance party

We're only a month into the application season, but for UVa students, it's the last day of classes. It's fitting that the annual Lighting of the Lawn happened last night. It was a nice way to celebrate the end of the semester and get a little fun in before exam week.

This year, the light show turned into a dance party, complete with flying glow sticks. 




I've seen a "glow stick war" at concerts, but never on Grounds. Isn't it fantastic?
