I've been meaning to change the text bar on the right side for the longest time, but I've always put it off because frankly, such a "to-do" list comes once in a lifetime. But spring semester back at Georgetown has begun to emerge as it should be--hectic, crazy, fun, insanely stressful ( Read more... )

Apparently American Studies majors host a picnic each year, and so as the sophomore class we've been delegated the responsibility of bringing desserts. In the email outlining all the logistical needs, the senior also adds:
