10 Thoughts Everyone Has During All-Night Pomp

It's that time of year again, folks. It's time for America's Greatest Homecoming. For weeks, people have been patiently building the decks that have made this school so iconic, and it is almost time for all of the hard work to pay off. But first, there's one thing that has to happen: all-night pomp. Through the good and the bad, there are certain things everyone pomping thinks, and here they are.

1. When it's finally time for your shift and you're thinking "I can do this. This isn't so bad."

2. When you realize you're going to be spending a good part of your night pomping

3. When you look around and the pomping room is full and there are suddenly way too many people

4. When all of the seniors come into the room after their bar crawl and are loud for no real reason

5. When the boys are taking forever to pomp so the girls have to take over


6. When you've been pomping too long and you start to get hangry

7. When you start thinking about having to go to class the next morning running on no sleep

8. When you realize that your shift is almost over

9. When your shift is over and you walk out of the pomping room for the last time


10. When you look at your house's deck and proudly think, "I helped make that."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
