Age doesn't matter

When I first visited Witt, there was a single moment when I knew Witt was for me.  We were outside of the  alumni house and my tour guide was talking about how much she loves that as a student, you can be friends with people from all different grades. In high school, I was never close with anyone in my grade, but because of sports, I was always friends with people who were older and younger than me.  Hearing this from my tour guide is what made me decide, in that moment that Witt was the school for me.

My favorite thing about Witt is how close people from every class can be.  Some of my best friends here are older than me and I don't know what I would do if what year you are mattered.  And that, is my favorite part about Witt. 

It's kind of funny that this has nothing to do with the campus or anything and I could probably find it at another school.

Where is everyone going to live??!

Another thing that my friends and I have been talking a lot about is the crazy greek housing situation.  I know that in my house (DG), we are having issues because since 5 girls who were supposed to live in the house this year didn't, we thought that they might have to live in the house next year, so that almost half of us sophomores might not be able to live there next year, so we would have to our senior year instead.  Even now that we found out that those seniors don't have to live there, we still can't fit everyone in the house.  But it seems that every other house is having the opposite problem.  The Gamma Phi Beta girls and the Sigma Kappa's have to have seniors live in the house because the incoming junior classes aren't big enough to fit into the houses.  Everyone is already stressed out about roommates, where they are living and making commitments to their houses.

So a big topic of conversation is what everyone is doing for spring break.  Usually people choose to go somewhere either cold for skiing or hot for relaxing and tanning.  But this year money seems like a bigger issue than usual.  I know that my friends and I were going to go to Florida, but it just isn't worth paying for EVERYTHING when we can have just as good of a time at a place that we don't have to pay for.  We decided we would go to my lake house in PA, where it won't exactly be hot, but it's cheaper to go there and get a tanning package than it is to go all the way to FL just for the tan.

Does the groundhog really think spring is coming?

So today is our third "ice" day... It is a little sad to say, but I sort of just wish we had school today.  I understand why we didn't have classes because the sidewalks are AWFUL, but seriously people were playing ice hockey on Alumni Way yesterday! I understand the whole physical plant thing, but come on.  Anyway, I'm a little surprised that I haven't heard of any big falls or anything since it is pretty dangerous.

I guess that Puxsetauny Phil didn't see his shadow which means that spring is coming soon. I HOPE SO. This weather just makes everyone look so down, I guess because a lot of people are pale, which makes everyone look sort of sick.  I just wish we could find out a little earlier than 7 am that classes are canceled.  I have studied for 3 tests that haven't happened! Now some people think we won't have school tomorrow too, but I would be shocked if we didn't. I was a little shocked that we didn't today.
