“Dearest Gentle readers”, the opening line on the flyer inviting students to join the Bakersfield College Student Government Association (BCSGA) to a paint party. Hosted on Tuesday, April 9 from 12-2 pm with the Bridgerton playlist welcoming attendees to enjoy themselves. Bridgerton, being a famous show on Netflix, is set in London during the Regency era in the 1810s. The ambiance for the event was to evoke the Bridgerton show, featuring finger sandwiches, tea, and mini teacup sets to paint. Students were given total control over immersing themselves in the Regency-era setting.

The event was held in the campus center, with tables out on the patio and covers creating a space that resembled a tea party commonly seen in Bridgerton. The event was lively, with students waiting for their paint and chatting at the tables while enjoying the nice day out. Though the food was gone quickly, people enjoyed the finger sandwiches, scones, and other finger desserts while sipping from their own teacups.

The energy was nice, and the people chatted easily with each other while painting their tea sets, surrounded by friends. While there was good energy and people were there in abundance, there were some problems finding help. The event turned out to be a wonderful experience for everyone involved, creating an atmosphere filled with joy and connection. Attendees participated in various activities, mingled, and made lasting memories. The success of this gathering was made possible thanks to the funding provided by the BCSGA, which allowed for the organization of such a delightful event. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the nice event, which fostered a sense of community and engagement among participants.
