The West Campus Ice Skating event was enjoyable and fun because of the free skates, catchy music, and the large amount of people in attendance. It took me a long time to get skates because sizes 6, 7, and 8 ran out, so I needed to wait for people who were returning theirs. After some waiting, asking, and trying on skates, I finally found a pair of skates that were my regular shoe size even though it was big on me. I had to be careful because I could sprain my ankle for wearing big skates. Luckily, I got on the rink and skated with my friend who waited for me. I did feel the looseness of the skates, but I was able to skate more comfortably after a few laps. I really enjoy skating because it challenges me to balance on the ice. It also makes me happy when I see other people helping one another out. I think ice skating is a friendly, non-competitive, and cohesive activity because people are gathered in one rink and if one person falls down, another person will help that person get up.
