I’ve only seen my roommate up before 8 a.m. twice in my life. Both times were the mornings that students had to select courses for the following term. This semester marks the first time I’ll be joining in the frantic scurry to successfully register for the classes that I — like so many other freshmen — have spent hours tailoring to create a perfect schedule. For the past two terms, I’ve followed a regimented engineering curriculum, filled with too many prerequisites to have any real choices available and lectures with caps just large enough to kill all of my excitement on the morning of registration. Now, anxiously watching juniors and sophomores push enrollment numbers toward their limits has made me yearn for my days of safety in the school of engineering.

Agricola Community Eatery, Princeton’s newest high-end restaurant, combines farm-to-table principles with fine dining. The decor has a minimal yet rustic aesthetic, complemented by its flannel-clad waitstaff. More importantly, Agricola’s seasonal menu features ingredients derived from local farms, including its own Great Road Farm, and is incredibly vegetarian-friendly.

This Friday, Caroline Hertz and I consumed roughly 4,637 calories in one sitting. While the third world wept, we smiled giddily through our choco-hazes. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you: Cheeburger Cheeburger.

Channeling the spirits of my pub-dwelling predecessors, I strolled down Triumph Brewing Company’s long entryway with a sense of womb-like familiarity. I picked up the menu for a cursory glance, already knowing I was going to order my favorite item, the Epic Burger. Shock, numbness, ice-cold fear: It was gone.

Due to my family’s love of Teresa Caffe and Winberie’s, I haven’t given many other Princeton establishments a chance in the past. I figured I’d start with a reputable favorite — the Alchemist & Barrister. While not exactly an adventurous choice, the A&B is a safe dining experience that deserves its status as a Princeton standby.

Tico’s Eatery & Juice Bar is tucked away on an otherwise unassuming corner of Witherspoon Street, which is probably why I’ve never noticed the yummy goodness inside before. At Tico’s, a store famous for its fresh-squeezed juice, you can opt for one of many special blends. These juices range from the all-friendly “Tico” (orange, pineapple and mango juice) to the more austere “Goodness” (beet, carrot, celery and ginger), and you can always create your own blend — choose up to two base juices and pay 50 cents per additional ingredient.

Chenning grace ma ’14 is a Wilson School major from Lafayette, Calif. Her parents split their time between Beijing and Grace’s childhood home outside San Francisco. The family’s distance from New Jersey often means that Grace only makes it home twice a year. Since her freshman year, Grace has spent only a few weeks over winter break and a couple of weeks during the summer in California. “[Princeton] is too far away from my home,” laments Grace’s mother, Hope Chen. Although she wishes Grace weren’t so far away during the school year, she recognizes the positive experiences that Princeton affords her daughter. “I think Grace has had a great time at Princeton in terms of personal development,” Hope says.

Princeton preview is one of the few times each year we can justifiably showcase the orange portion of our wardrobes and be as obnoxious about school pride as possible. This is the time to get hyped about life beyond this semester; most of us are ascending a rung on the ladder of seniority, and others are finishing their senior theses and moving beyond the FitzRandolph Gate. Most importantly, it’s the time to give back to our alma mater in the invaluable currency of yield rates.

This weekend, BAC dance brings its spring show, “Survival of the Illest,” to the stage. Featuring high-energy numbers and oozing sex appeal, “Survival of the Illest” is a fun, flirtatious showing from BAC. Unfortunately, many pieces in this show fail to push the envelope artistically, and an overuse of the theater’s lighting capabilities keeps “Survival of the Illest” from fully engaging audience members. While not a tour-de-force performance, “Survival” has several bright choreographic moments.

Dear Sexpert,

When I was younger, I got it into my head that I would be the next Tyra Banks, and I would strut up and down the living room of my house dressed ridiculously in my mother’s evening gowns. Never during that time did it cross my mind that a love of fashion could ever be transformed into a means of doing social good.

Leora Friedman ’14 took the adage “Music is Medicine” to a whole new level when she founded a non profit organization of the same name before she came to Princeton. Music is Medicine, created by Friedman in 2008 in her hometown Baltimore now has a base in Princeton and is expanding to chapters across the country. This organization works with both famous musicians and volunteers who perform at local hospitals. “Our goal is to motivate musicians to use their music to give back, and we do this in two ways — our volunteer program, which empowers student artists to organize music programs at local children’s hospitals, and through our ‘Donate a Song’ project,” Friedman said.

Street had a phone call with Savannah Outen, a singer-songwriter with over 440,000 subscribers on YouTube. Outen spoke to us from her home in Portland, Ore. and gave us the scoop on her new collaboration with Music is Medicine and her new single, “Brave and True.” The song was released along with a music video on Tuesday as a part of the organization’s “Donate a Song” project.

Ah, springtime! It doesn’t seem like it’s been a week since I was found shivering underneath my broken umbrella on a bench by a group of prefrosh. Oh wait, that’s right. That’s because that happened a few days ago.

Music: First-Ever Princeton Piano Extravaganza

Having seen Princeton University Ballet’s productions of “Nutz,” I expected something similar from their spring show “Spring Fling,” — you know, minus excerpts from “The Nutcracker.” But “Spring Fling” is not limited by the same constraints placed on PUB’s classic fall show. Rather than dividing the performance into classical and contemporary halves, more modern, student-choreographed pieces are placed in between classical variations from a variety of ballets. The result is a refreshing, engaging production that evokes the sense of fun and light-heartedness so inextricably linked with springtime.
