Painting the town purple

One of the things I am incredibly grateful for is the opportunity to study at one of the coolest universities in South Africa. Rhodes University is full of vibrant, ambitious, fun and diverse people all studying together on one beautiful campus.

Everyone here is so full of love for the university we call our home and one way we show it is through Purple Thursdays. Every Thursday, we wear purple (the official Rhodes colour) to show our gees (that's a slang word for 'spirit' for all the non South Africans). This Thursday, I got a chance to snap some of the Rhodents who had their faces and arms painted purple.
