10 Moments that Highlighted My First Year at Pomona

Posted on April 2, 2020September 21, 2022 by Selena Lopez

By Selena Lopez ‘22 I don’t know about you, but, to me, there has always been something about lists that draws me in. “Top ten places to visit,” “best books to read this break,” “47 things to do while at Pomona”— the list goes on. Do I complete these lists? No … not necessarily. I’m also not good at keeping up with the lists that I make. Daily to-do lists? Can’t follow them....

On Shaking my Tail Feathers and Empowerment

Posted on November 16, 2015September 21, 2022 by Camille Sanchez

As you know from my first post, I am severely uncoordinated. Despite my tragic condition, I continue to follow my dream: to become a Korean pop star. Now, I can’t exactly speak Korean much less sing it—actually, I can’t sing at all—so I figured that all I can work on for now is the dance moves. Thus, I joined the 5C K-Pop Dance Club. I learned to shake my tail feathers (because...

Free Tacos and Dancing with the Dean

All the Claremont Colleges enact a “substance-free opening” policy, meaning that any substance use by any students on the campuses will absolutely NOT be tolerated (even by those legally of age). Administration enacts this because studies have shown that a large number of sexual assaults happen during the first two weeks of the semester, and a high percentage of them involve su...

Ballroom Dance…Maybe?

Posted on September 10, 2012September 21, 2022 by ShaKayla

So, I just came back from my first ballroom dance class tonight. It's from 9-10 on Mondays and Wednesdays. From what I can see so far, this class will be great. Yes, it will be super awkward for a bit (possibly for a long bit). However, it will still be fun. I mean dancing by myself until we rotate because there are not enough leads in the class is awesome. Dancing with a pa...
