Maybe it’s because there’s only true daylight between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or maybe it’s because shorts and parkas don’t mix well, but one thing is for sure: Dillon Gymnasium and the towpath get much less crowded during the wintertime. As the weather gets colder, the words “workout,” “gym” and “exercise” seem to be used less and less frequently, and rarely with a cheery tone.

If you’d asked me two weeks ago what I expected of college, I certainly would not have said crooning “Wagon Wheel” in the company of people donning “Rage with Romney” bro tanks and American-flag Chubbies, and then pledging allegiance to an American flag hung on one wall of a cramped dorm on 9/11 (it should be noted that no one was sober in that room). I would never have foreseen my attending a pregame for the College Republicans during Freshman Week, trying to dodge fireballs in clamorous political discourse over Fireball.

If I could sit my freshman self down at the dawn of my Princeton career, I’d have quite a few things to say. Don’t take that 9 a.m. class. Get your quantitative reasoning requirement done early. Try out for everything. Attend every lecture. Go pick up your favorite sweater from the laundry room right now because it will get stolen. However, all of these little things would only come after I told her the one thing I truly wish someone had said to me. I would take poor, frightened me by the shoulders and say, “Give college six months before you decide how you feel.”

On Sept. 10, The Daily Princetonian published a news article, "Student charged with drug possession at Princeton Stadium," about an undergraduate student who was arrested by the University's Department of Public Safety for allegedly being in possession of marijuana and psilocybin, a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms, at the Princeton Stadium. The article clearly stated both the student’s full name and class year and reignited an age-old debate about whether the 'Prince' should publish the names of students in articles regarding their arrests, particularly when they have only been charged, and the case has not yet been adjudicated.

You silently scrutinize the minute hand of the clock. As if its goal is to mock you, it ticks slower and slower, as though time itself has ceased to exist.It is not until your boss asks you to fetch yet another cup of coffee at the internship you sacrificed your summer (and your soul) for that you finally snap and crumple into a sobbing mess as you remember the loving embrace of the Orange Bubble.

After a strong freshman season, sophomore Emily Hahn played singles and doubles on the Ivy League Champion women’s tennis team. Her sport is commonly known as one of the most “mental” games. While the Tigers certainly put a lot of time into their strokes, serves and positioning, preparing a winning mindset has been a focus this year. We at the ‘Prince’ had an opportunity to sit down with Hahn to discuss the dynamics of her team.

11:18 a.m. You’re awake! It only took two snoozes, and you can enjoy this beautiful Sunday — by staying inside and cleaning. You absolutely have to. It’s getting harder and harder to ignore the giant pile of clothes on your floor, and your roommate has started giving you dirty looks, so you’re going to do absolutely everything today: laundry, vacuum, make the bed, dust. You’ll have the most productive spring cleaning day ever!

In her April 11column “Ordinary people,” Morgan Jerkins tries to remind us that in spite of the distractions of an overwhelming workload, extracurriculars and the general stress that comes with being a Princeton student, the University allows us the chance to interact with world-renowned scholars and academic legends. She reminds us that while we are hustling to the next place we have to be, we often forget that we’re here — if only for just four years — at an incredible university.

As the snow piles against my dorm entrance and my daily dance with the hellish black ice continues to provide endless entertainment for the squirrels, I dream of warmer weather, summer sunshine and shorts (really, all I want is to wear shorts). But alongside my dreams of relaxation comes my growing anxiety for the seemingly endless round of applications for internships. I flash back to Frosh Week, where we would tell tales of the wonderful times we had, how much we learned and the great people we met. But I want to call shenanigans on the whole thing.
