Where are all the cute, queer girls around here?

Come on. If it’s not the queer girls, it’s the straight guys. Let’s just all accept the fact that this campus is not conducive to dating and move on. Odds are you’re not going to find the boy/girl of your dreams here, and, if you do, he/she is probably already hooking up with somebody else. Of course, I mean all this in the nicest way possible, so I’ve got a (fairly obvious) alternative for you, Sergeant Pepper: outsource.

Sadie Lou’s Social Notes

Friday April 28, 2006

On your average weekday it’s sometimes hard to believe that Sarah Lawrence has anything to offer besides school work, but just as there’s a rush in April to finish up those inter-library loan books, there’s also a rush to fit in one (or five) more events before the year ends. April may have just started, but, unlike its students, SLC’s packed social calendar refuses to crack under the pressure of conference papers.

Sincerely Sarah: Advice. Sort of.

I think you are pure filler. Is it so?
You, dear reader, are quite the charmer. But I’m sure you hear that all the time, so on to your question: not filler, human interest. Get it right.

Common Sense

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. But these wholesome, fuzzy-feeling mornings that you’ll remember long after your time at Sarah Lawrence is over can be shattered the second you return to the waffle line only to realize that some jackass swooped in and stole what you’ve been salivating over for twenty minutes. I would like to spread the Bates love by providing you with a few guidelines to dining with a little consideration and politeness:

I think my don is senile. What should I do?
Avoid sudden movements. The last thing you want is to startle your don and have him or her come at you all fists and elbows in a fit of dementia when all you wanted was a signature on your add/drop form.

Common Sense: Drink decently

The complaints regarding this year’s cancellation of the school’s most extravagant display of drunken debauchery, the Coming Out Dance, were innumerable. However, even in the absence of this infamous Sarah Lawrence tradition, it seems that students all over campus have continued drinking until they can’t remember how many beers or shots they’ve downed. Walks of shame, nights spent nursing the toilet and waking up with blisters from getting your stomach pumped are some of the very unpleasant side effects of this partying lifestyle.
