My mom cried when I showed her that I had a bed of my own in my dorm room. She cried because I spent almost my entire life sleeping on either the floor or the living room couch.
Community is a big deal at Princeton. From the proud alumni who flock back to campus each June for Reunions to the thousands of enthusiastic students at athletic events, to the townies and tourists who stroll through campus and attend our events, Princeton is not complete without the community that surrounds it. Despite coming from around the world and having varied backgrounds and interests, we all contribute to our Princeton community, even if we do so in different ways.Princeton would not be what it is today without the numerous academics, activists, actors, artists and athletes. Among these roles is that of the archivist, which is whereThe Daily Princetonian comes in.

A study published on Thursday in the Journal of Basic Anthropology found that 70 percent of individuals who are popularly branded as “basic white chicks,” more colloquially known as “bwbs,” are not white.
For my friends, the process of choosing a movie involves nearly half an hour of deliberation, weighing individual preferences and moods (and the availability of certain titles on Netflix or quasi-reputable streaming sites). We float suggestions as disparate as Silence of the Lambs and Shakespeare in Love, and sometimes the whole endeavor is too fraught with conflict that we end up giving up altogether. The other night, however, we were all able to settle on Snowpiercer, the premise of which is a train that holds the survivors of a new Ice Age caused by scientists trying to combat global warming and succeeding all too well.
Privilege can isolate us from our responsibilities. For example, many Congressmen are privileged: their average net worth is over $1 million.
Princetonians, mark your calendars. Our 2015 winter break has been reduced to two weeks. The debate on the length of winter break is annual; the Editorial Board and many opinion columnists have argued for an adjusted calendar during years when the winter break was three weeks long.
