Spring Break

As outgoing Editor-In-Chief of this fine publication, I'm granted one last perk (and quite possibly the first!): to say a 'farewell' and reflect on surviving the past year or so in the bowels of Gallatin E, where many a long Friday afternoon was spent dotting the "i"s, crossing the "t"s (at least a majority of them), and making sure our accomplished Sports Editor didn't try to squeeze another picture of a rugby teammate's bare ass into the social spread of next week's edition.

It's that time of year again. Whether we're moving out for good, taking off for the summer, or sticking around, we're all going through our stuff and deciding which things we either need to or want to part with. Furniture, clothes, dishes, sports equipment, books, and old magazines will be looking for new homes in the next few weeks. (0) comments
