Some people prefer the Pub or the Health Food Bar, but most everyone on this campus (if on the meal plan and without a kitchen) dines at our beloved Bates at least once a week. There’s nothing better than rolling out of bed on Sunday morning, trudging down that slushy hill and stuffing yourself with comfort food while spending hours rehashing the exploits of the weekend. This dining hall can also feed you for a week, depending on how much Tupperware you can stuff in the kangaroo pocket of your hoodie.

I don't intend to sleep when I'm dead, either

by Sonnet Graham

Oh, sleep.

The little wonder that I have missed so much as of late. I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that a young adult is supposed to receive approximately nine hours of sleep a night. I say "pretty sure" because I’m way too tired to google that fact.
