Personal Narrative: Matador Nights

The cultural event that I attended was Matador Nights and it was this past Friday, September 15th from 9 p.m. - 1 a.m. It was held at the University Student Union and it was free to all CSUN students with a valid student photo ID. No guests were allowed for entry and the also ticket does not guarantee admission to the event, therefore, many students, including myself, arrived early to be permitted inside. Matador Nights provided games and activities such as, laser tag, carnival rides, an oxygen bar, virtual reality games, music, a photo booth, tarot card readings, and free food. This event was a way for students to take a break from their studies and have fun with their friends. Ever since school began, students were passing out fliers informing
other students to attend, saying that it will be very fun and a night to remember. It was like a traditional event that some of the upper class recommended for us to attend.
Overall, Matador Nights was very fun and entertaining, however, something that did surprise me were the amount of people that attended. I did not realize how many students were there until I went back to the Student Union and saw them all dancing to whatever the DJ was playing. There were a lot of students, although that made it even more fun and entertaining. I enjoyed going to Matador Nights because it was a nice break to take away from school and homework and just enjoy a night out with friends. Attending this event made me realize how many students here at CSUN enjoy to party and have fun. Everyone was friendly and numerous students that didn’t even know each other were talking and dancing together because everyone’s goal that night was to just let go and have fun.
