We Like Grass

By Tamika Whitenack HELLO! it has been so long, as in over a month! Wow. I apologize for the hiatus, remember those technological issues I mentioned? Well, that all culminated in a stressful computer mess in which my laptop became a piece of random metal and I learned how to survive on a college campus without a personal computer (a very humbling and growth-filled experience). During this period, I was not in the mind to be doing anything on the computer apart from school related stuff, and once I received my new computer (so grateful to have the privilege to be able to get a new computer! and treating it like a baby), it was the busy busy season of finals and stuff and then well somehow we got to this december 16 and here I am in terminal 5 of the JFK airport. Its funny because this is so parallel to last year, when I was also flying home on Dec 16, and writing my last blog post of the semester in the airport. I want to go read that one actually, but even wit...

By Cameron Rusin Hi friends! It has actually been so long since I last posted something, but I’m currently killing time in my dining hall waiting for an appropriate time to leave for my flight, so why not.

For starters, cross country! Last time I wrote we were in the middle of the regular season, so lots lots lots has happened since then. Mostly, I got to run a little in the post season this year which was super exciting! I ran at NESCACs (our conference) which was super fun.

It was a crazy weather day, with a huge storm and scary winds and every other athletic team except for us moved their events to the next day, so it was very much running (or sliding…) to race, not for times or anything, which I always like.

By Tamika Whitenack In the past 3 weeks, I've had 3 computer crises! Friday Oct 28: my computer was being slow and making noise. Brought it into CIS. We cleared up storage and it worked fine. Monday Nov 5: spilt tea on my keyboard! aiyah! let it dry. brought it into CIS. they opened it up and it dried more. i spent a couple days of excruciating waiting and self-beratement for my carelessness. received the lucky news that all was well and i could use it as normal. Tuesday Nov 13: apparently my Vassar gmail account has been disabled! idk why, hoping i have not been hacked. yikes! but this is less debilitating than the other issues, at least i can use my computer for all other services. (but also, i receive soooo many emails a day, it is a key part of vassar life lol) anyway, that's where i'm at... but in other news, I went all of last week without eating at the dining hall except for 2 meals: monday dinner and saturday lunch. how did this happen, you ask? well, i...
