Let’s talk about all the plays/movies/presentations I’ve watched/attended this week. (Note: sorry if my posts seem very egocentric, but I was told to write about life at Pomona. I feel like I can speak best on MY life at Pomona.)
On Sunday night, I took the last possible chance I had to see a production of “The Laramie Project” put on by our student theater group, Bottom...

(Jay)Walking Around Campus
Jaywalking: a ticketable infraction that starts with my favorite letter. Sure, technically it’s against the law, but we all do it. It’s a fairly innocuous crime. I think many of us regard the entire campus as free pedestrian reign, and cars can simply wait their turn. (As someone with a car, though, being a driver on campus is exactly as frustrating as you think it would be...

Why I Love Pomona, 1- We Are Close to LA
Last weekend, I learned what Katy Perry meant when she sang "Last Friday Night." But I didn't party. Ew, I don't like partying that much, to be honest. I just went to...

Homestretch
You know you're ready for Thanksgiving break when you're lying in my bed after a long day of classes, (followed by ultimate frisbee practice, an extra long dance rehearsal because our big performance is next week, and a trip up to the Scripps library to do some studying) trying and failing to will yourself to get up and take a shower. And as my mom (very excitedly) reminded me ...

Seven Notes About Attending a Large University
(Inspired by a semester at a Scottish school with ~30,000 students.)
1) Yesterday, I walked past my lecturer in the hall. I smiled and waved as she looked straight ahead. I remembered, after she passed, that I am one of two hundred of her students, and she doesn’t know who I am.
2) My upper-division courses are surprisingly intimate, and even my larger classes have small-...

My Last SCAMFest
Though we’ve already heard about SCAMFest from Lauren I wanted post about it as well from an insider’s perspective—since this was my very last SCAMFest! I’ve been in Kosher Chords since my freshman year and we always have fantabulous time. SCAMFest is only one part of what makes my a cappella experience so magical, though it is pretty special with the matching outfits, th...

SCAMFest!
Last night, the Claremont Shades hosted the 17th annual Southern California A Cappella Music Festival (SCAMFest) at Bridges Auditorium. Not only did it feature performances from eight 5-C A Cappella groups, but also from two groups from UCLA, "Bruin Harmony" and "Scattertones" as well as two from USC , "Reverse Osmosis" and "SoCal VoCals".
The performers sang to a sold out B...

Election2012: Politics at Pomona
I know that you've already read a lot about the election from the bloggers here. But hey, Pomona is a placed filled with numerous politically aware people, so I'm going to share my perspective too.
It’s Friday. No one’s wearing shirts that make political statements, in fact, everyone’s bundled up against California’s version of “cold.” The New York Times website no longer bu...

The Election Abroad
I joined a few Sagehens (and other Americans) Tuesday evening to watch the election. Many thanks to the eight-hour time difference for making it an all-night affair. Although I petered out at (a kind of pathetic) 1AM, the rest of the group survived and celebrated around 6. It was admittedly surreal experiencing the first presidential election I’m eligible to vote for in a forei...
