Baskets, eggs, bunnies and chocolates: it is Easter time. And it would not be Easter without an Easter egg hunt.

An Easter egg hunt was held in Sutton Apartments on Wednesday, April 12, for those students living in the Rollins apartment complex. Students anxiously waited in the Sutton lounge, as the CA's hid the plastic eggs on each floor.

Each student had to have at least one hand touch the couch before anyone could leave the lounge, but as soon as the last CA entered the room, everyone was off.

Plastic eggs were all over the hallways, on the door handles, hanging from name tags, on top of the fire alarms, and even the stairways. Students ran down the halls throwing every egg they picked up into shopping bags. The goal was to race up and down each floor, collecting as many eggs as possible.

There were three "special" eggs hidden in the hallways, and some lucky few who collected the "special" eggs won prizes such as Rollins College cups, Panera Bread gift certificates, or a Rollins College sweatshirt.

The third floor won the race, collected the most eggs in the least amount of time. Their prize: bragging rights.

A few days later, the day before Easter, on the grassy area behind the bookstore, a second Easter egg hunt took place. The area was covered with plastic eggs containing candy and raffle tickets. The person who collected the most eggs within a certain time period won one of two grand prizes. The grand prizes that were won were DVD players, iPods, Digital Cameras and various other things, all valued at over 200 dollars.

The Residential Hall Association gave away over 30 prizes. These prizes were valued between 10 to 150 dollars. Certain "special" eggs were hidden in grass, and students who found those won other grand prizes.

Even college students can join in on the fun of the Easter holiday.
