Life Advice

Q1: Fall term is coming to a close relatively quick. Yeah yeah I mean I’ve pulled together some good grades so far, but I feel like I haven’t had my fair share of fun. All the seniors in my dorm brag about all their fun experiences and I’ve never experienced anything like them. What are some things I should throw on my bucket list for the next three weeks before the snow restricts me from really turning up.

A1:

Enjoy the fall colors and go on a walk through the Academy woods.

Dye your hair blue.

Play Tokyo Jungle on PS3.

Q2: As you all should know, Exeter/Andover weekend is this weekend. Alum are coming back and school spirit is usually at an all time high. However, seniors are applying to colleges, juniors are busy writing their 331s and lowers and preps are too busy scrambling over EP dates. I’m a three year senior, and in comparison with my lower and upper year, I feel like nobody expresses any school spirit anymore. Everybody is so stressed that all I hear anymore is people complaining about Exeter. What can I do as an individual, and what can we do as a school to raise school spirit?

A2: As a senior, it wouldn’t hurt to email Ms. Cahalane at ccahalane@exeter.edu and ask to become either a red bandit or lion rampant. Also, all students can help by wearing their respective school colors. Senyahs: red. Uppaz: black. Lowers: gray. Preplings: white. Simply showing up to the game this weekend and bringing your friends or encouraging alums to come makes a big difference. As an individual, maybe trying to destress your friends and getting everybody excited for E/A is a huge contribution.

Q3: So….dorm gear...we have to top every dorm this year. What are some creative ideas?

A3: Well first of all, let's address what type of clothing. If you want something that screams "I AM AN EXONIAN," I’d say it’s safe to go with a quarter-zip, a cardigan, embroidered bean boots, or a tommy hilfiger crewneck. Icons such as a stack of cash, the Starbucks logo, the Vineyard Vines logo, or an iPhone 6 might help contribute to the boarding school vibe. If you want a twist on the typical dorm gear, go for something more edgy. Perhaps dorm headbands, socks, hats, speedos or onesies are definitely pretty original.

Q4: Why is Baldyga sooo cool?

A5: It’s gotta be that islander $w@q. Kick game on point. Fifa game on point. Grade game on point. Cashflow game on point. Not being awkward game on point. If you ask me, he’s the model Exonian. For all you single ladies out there, Baldiesel very well could be the man for you!!! Email: eyebrowsonfleek@aol.com Cell Phone: 1-800-GUA-MBOI
