The ABC's Of Haverford College

Haverford is such a special place, and it's challenging to fully understand the sense of community that flourishes here until you walk on campus. But, to help with that, here are the ABC's of Haverford College:

Arboretum


With so many trees, I would be remiss to not acknowledge them all. Shout out to the trees with little labels on them!

Black Squirrels


There’s nothing quite as exciting as spotting our official mascot on campus.

Customs


Our yearlong orientation program that brings first year students into the community!

Dans


Everybody. Is. Dan. (except our President. #tbt to Dan Weiss.)

Emily Chazen


That’s me, I go here. I couldn’t think of anything, so here’s my face.

Fords Against Boredom (FAB)

Between First Friday, DC Iron Chef, finals week events, trips like ice skating and Get Air, and Oktoberfest, you can’t go wrong with free on-and-off campus fun!

GIAC


No better place to run on the treadmill, lift some weights, and see Cory Walts' face.

Honor Code


Trust, concern, and respect, am I right?

Identity


Engaging in conversations about facets of your identity is so Haverfordian.

Jeff TF

Iconic.

KINSC


Yay for science! If you’re into that.

Lunt Basement


No better place to get a late night meal and/or go to a FUCS show.

Music & Arts House


And here's to all all other Community housing, too!

Never losing a single football game since 1972


And also not having a football team since 1972.

Opening the door for people awkwardly when they’re like fifteen feet behind you and then having to wait for them and you’re awkward and they’re awkward and it’s awkward.


I don’t think this needs much more of an explanation

Pinwheel Day


Nothing like celebrating the first day of spring!

Quaker Values


Fight, fight, inner light! Kill, Quakers, kill!

Room Draw


Aka the most drama/most bonding you’ll ever do in your life.

Snowball and Spring Formal


Yay for dressing up and going out!

Thesis Stress


Brb, already crying and I’m only a sophomore.

Underground tunnels


That unofficial graduation requirement you’re just dying to fulfill.

Varsity Cricket


Here’s to having the number one (only) team in the nation!

Walking to Suburban Square


Because we all need Sweet Green sometimes.

X-cellent people!


Sorry, X is a really hard letter (and you know, you’re all great and stuff).

Yik Yak


No better place to ask those real pressing questions.

Zubrow


For the times when you just can't stand studying in Magill anymore.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
