Skate the Night Away

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.
