Five Years in New York

Liz Colville ‘05 has a lovely post over at The Awl, an open letter to ‘10 grads.  She writes about her post-college years – the alien world of temp jobs, online dating, and apartments that make a HiRise seem palatial.  Colville still lives in New York — and take heart ‘10 grads: “slowly my temp [...]

This Friday, the Tuition [...]

Mocon Gets a Flash Party

Last night the student body kicked off some pre-midterms stress with an awesome flash party at Mocon.  It was very short-lived – Psafe quickly busted the party – but definitely the event of the weekend.  The party brought to mind other spontaneous celebrations like last year’s Exley flash party.  From my (possibly incorrect) perspective, members [...]

An Organist in our Midst

Ann-Marie Illsley ‘10 was installed as a church organist at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Middletown on Oct. 1. A native of Bridgewater, Mass., she has studied the pipe organ for seven years, and spent the past two years as the organist at [...]

Fun with CollegeHumor

Nick Ajello ‘10 submitted this photo with the tags birthday, drunk and olive oil to CollegeHumor.com.
His caption: “It was the kid’s birthday. He got pretty wasted and went into the late night dining hall and drank a half a bottle of olive oil. Then, he poured the rest on himself. Then, he took random people’s [...]

The night is still young!

What’s with the frosh-only events, Wesleyan? Upperclassmen want to boogie down, too. First “In The Company of Others” is ticketed, then you card at Foss Cross?? My freshman year RA told us that Wesleyan is one of the rare schools where older students make a concerted effort to come back early just for Orientation. So [...]

Wesleyan Fiddlers

Today on Foss Hill, Xue and I ran into a bunch of fiddlers. I asked them what year they were, hoping to god they were random freshmen and guess what! All except the distinguished Anna Gevalt ‘09 were! But the frosh asked to be known from hence forth as oh-tenners (get it? Class of 010, [...]

On a more personal note

I’m having a great time reading the wes_10 LJ community’s friends page . Most of the posts go something like, “I’m at college! This is weird! I hope I find friends!”
If you see me wandering around tomorrow, please stop and say hello. I’m getting in at 5 or 6 and would love to see who [...]

What are you doing RIGHT NOW

So my boyfriend has to be at school a week early every year for cross country training and it’s funny to hear his take on the freshmen (more so since he is a junior living on a hall with many freshmen). He’s particularly unnerved about how few of them have their doors open and/or are [...]
