Autoday and Slang!

Howdy Y'all!!
This past weekend the school celebrated their separation from the University of New South Wales! This celebration is called Autonomy Day aka Auto day! The students that live on campus get up before the sun gets up and starts celebrating. It was absolutely insane!! They had a bunch of different booths and games and such all over campus! Everyone makes shirts! It was a blast!
