The Art Of Streaking

Are you brave enough to run in your birthday suit?

The Art Of Streaking
www.wittenberg.edu

One of Wittenberg University’s most well-known traditions is streaking The Hollow, a large grassy patch in the middle of campus. Students take their clothes off at the top of The Hollow, run down the hill as fast as they can, and depending on how they choose to practice the tradition, they either touch Recitation Hall or the Wittenberg Police Station before running back up the hill. But Wittenberg is not the only college campus with fun streaking traditions.

The University of Colorado at Boulder hosts their annual ‘Nearly Naked Mile’, which is actually a clothing drive. Hundreds of students run all over the campus wearing barely any clothing (if any) every October in an effort to provide thousands of donated, gently used clothes to those in need.

“I’ve seen people wear ridiculously small Speedos, nipple stickers, donut inner tubes, or just run in their birthday suits” said a senior attending CU Boulder.

At Yale University a prankster club called the Pundits streak through Bass Library (one of the Yale’s largest libraries) at midnight on the first day of finals week. They get as many other students to join them as possible, even students who are in the library studying join in.

“I remember my boyfriend (now husband) who was a football player used to streak Bass Library during finals week. I joined him one time; it was thrilling! I was having a bad week and thought ‘what the hell!’ took off my top and did it” said a Yale Alumni of class, 79’.

You probably haven’t had the full Wittenberg University experience if you haven’t streaked The Hollow. Let's face it, now is probably the last time in your life you’ll be able to streak without it being considered a felony. With spring semester being seniors’ last few months to streak The Hollow before graduation the probability of seeing bare butts running down the Hollow is especially high. So who will be brave enough to take The Hollow in their birthday suits?

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.

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.
