On Turning Twenty
It was my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I know; thank you, happy birthday to me. So, as my mother enjoys pointing out, I'm not a teenager anymore; now I'm two decades old. That's right, the big 2-0. This doesn't seem so old, considering I'm a junior and most of my friends are a year older than me, but the fact of the matter is I feel old. Not just as in a year older, but OLD, really old, like my grandparents.

Opportunites For Community Service Always Open On Campus
How many times do we hear our Trinity leaders affirming our need to be more involved with the Hartford community? Every year there comes a day when this college does truly bond with our surroundings. Year-round we advocate fences, better security, and shops on Zion street. One day a year, though, hundreds of Trinity students get up and do something to interact with the children growing up in our neighborhood. That day is Halloween on Vernon Street, and again this year, the campus-wide operation was a great success. For those of you who participated in this Halloween on Vernon Street, we extend our thanks and our congratulations for a job well done.

Feeling Stressed? Let's Talk About Theme Days
So the semester is starting to wind down. As frightening as that sounds, it really is true. The paper that was assigned at the beginning of the year that you swore you'd start researching in September is suddenly a much more immediate priority and you haven't even thought of a topic. Finals are coming up for a class that you seem to always forget to attend. Or you continue to have no idea what physics really is, let alone how you would do it. It's starting to get a little stressful; we can all feel it in the air. Sure the holidays are coming up, but who can really enjoy them when thoughts of Descartes keep popping up in the back of your mind? People are starting to shake a little and smiles are becoming more and more forced. The pressure is rising, and pretty soon a mild-mannered Trinity freshman is going to snap and attempt to kill everyone from the top of the Trinity chapel (committing both murder and sacrilege.) The problem is that there's really not anyone to blame but us. Well, us and that damn IM that monopolizes way too much time. We've just procrastinated too much. In fact if there were a class in procrastination most Trinity students would do incredibly well (along with a late night pizza eating course and a binge-drinking seminar). I can't fix the problem for you. You're going to have to actually do your work, but I have a solution that the school can initiate that may make everyone feel a lot better while getting three hours of sleep a night. We should have theme days. Yes, you heard me.
