Live Music is Fun - A Year in Review

Suppie. As the year comes to a close I feel it's appropriate to reflect on the past (school) year, and what better way for me to muse on the past 9 months (or so) than to do a recap of the best concerts I've been to this year. So I will.

Paint it Blue

During reading period, Tufts Mock Trial set out on our third attempt to paint the cannon. Our first attempt was undercut by Tufts Wilderness, which got there a few hours earlier to guard. Our second attempt was rained out. But the third time's the charm, they say! Here's a recap of our season, and some great shots from out painting expedition.

Mock Trial 2011-2012 Season Recap: In September, we were thrilled in add 14 new members to our team. Our invitational season included first place wins at Tufts, Yale, and UMass Amherst, along with second place at UMass Amherst and third place at UNH.

In the spring, Tufts took two bids out of Regionals (Manchester and Boston), earning Tufts A and Tufts B shots at the New York Opening Round Championship Series. The Tufts teams tied for a qualifier to Nationals, with Tufts A pulling ahead in a statistical tie-breaker.

Tufts sent ten students to compete in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the National Championship Tournament (NCT), where Tufts...

Middle East Timeline

Since my first semester here at Tufts, I've been studying with the help of technology. And every college student knows there's no technology more intriguing during finals than Facebook. That's probably why I used examples from Facebook to study for Psychology the fall of my freshman year. But with the new Facebook timeline, it only seems fitting that this technology be used for a history course. After all, I've already written about ideas for an historical Facebook of sorts, so this exploration of middle eastern politics is simply the next logical step. Presenting a brief compilation of Facebook-timeline screencaps for important figures of the middle east. Disclaimer: Without having taken the class, you might not find these as hilarious as I do.

If any of that doesn't make sense, try Wikipedia. Back to studying: the final for this course begins in 1 hour.

THANK YOU!!!!

So today we had our end of the year blogger meeting where we talked about how the blog went this year. Bottom line- it was awesome. I had no idea how many of you read this and it made me so happy. I was even more excited to find out that I had the most page views of any blog!!!!! I actually didn't believe it for a second. First of all, I don't think I'm particularly interesting, and second of all, I never win anything. Seriously. I've never even won a game of bingo, and now I win at blogging? Wow. So I wanted to say thank you to everyone who reads the silly and random posts I write. I appreciate it so so much and the success of my page is really because of you, not me. 

Don't worry, this isn't the last you'll hear from me. Expect posts over the summer and from IRELAND next year. As always, please feel free to email me with any questions you might have about Tufts. I love hearing from you!

ALL my Jumbo love,

Top 6 Performing Groups at Tufts University

Sup y'all. I know I usually only blog about hip-hop and Kanye West, but as the school year ends and the performers run wild thought I'd drop some knowledge on you current/future Tuftsmen about the best performing groups on campus. But heres a pic of Kendrick anyway.
