Swarthmore Won’t Shine Tonight! (Or any night really)
Since time immemorial (my freshman year), one thing has remained true: Swat sucks at winning Men’s Basketball games. This year was no different. In what can only be described as a “robust and rowdy” crowd, Haverford students from all walks of life welcomed their Quaker neighbors to a lively night in the Nuthouse. Occupying the space underneath the banners that... Read More
We’reeee Bacckkk
One week into the semester and already things are getting hectic!!! It’s good to be back. I spent all of winter break sleeping, eating and watching basketball, so it feels nice to get those academic juices flowing again! I’m going to give a brief recap of highlights from the first week back, and then preview some really cool events that are coming up! I got back last Sunday,... Read More
FALL BREAK!
Photo from the recent haVOC weekend backpacking trip (photo credit: Dan Feller). It has been such a hectic past few weeks! Midterms, a last minute trip home last weekend to see the Yankees, MORE MIDTERMS, and some yoga. Life’s been crazy. FAB took 50 people apple picking last weekend, and I heard that the Lighted Fools gave a great performance too. Anyways the semesters all ready... Read More
I’m Not Afraid…To Take A Stand
And say that I am excited to see Bridesmaids. Now, normally, I hate comedies; they always factor to the lowest common denominator and recycle the same puerile humor that was pioneered in the ’80s by stand-up comedians. Well, I guess it was not truly pioneered in the nineteen-eighties, maybe more like in the straight 80s A.D. However let’s not get into that, we all still... Read More
Thoughts on Being a Lighted Fools Groupie
I have a confession. I am a Lighted Fools groupie. Not that it is a secret or anything. I sit in the front row of their shows, beaming like it’s Taco Day at the DC. I laugh the loudest in the audience. If you don’t believe me, come to the show (September 30th and October 1st- be there!). That person, in the front row, laughing loudly at every line, the person...

Fresh Air at Haverford College
My mom is thinking about coming to Haverford tomorrow. Not to see me though, she’s much more interested in seeing Fresh Air host and executive producer Terry Gross. My parents are your typical NPR loving old folk. They stream in radio shows at 4 in the morning because they can. They took me to see A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor a few years ago because “everybody... Read More
Screw Your Roommate
This Saturday (the 24th) is Haverford’s annual Screw Your Roommate, a serendipitous night for some and an unfortunate fate for others. Freshmen get paired up with other freshmen for a steamy date night. Love ensues. Though it’s mostly awkward (“Sooo.. um.. why did you choose to go to Haverford?” “I like small campuses.” “Cool.”),...
