Week In Review: Small Town, Big People Edition (July 25 – 31)
Wednesday, 03 August 2011

Given that Princeton is a pretty sleepy place in the summer (read: in general), our actual town doesn’t often make national headlines. According to our own University news, the most exciting thing that’s been happening on campus is a summer research program run by the grad school, which matches undergrads with professors and tries to

So as we pass summer’s halfway point, most Princetonians are busy saving African villages, traipsing around Russia, exploring Zen Buddhism in Japan, selling their souls to JP Morgan, etc. The usual. But for those who are starting to feel homesick for good Ol’ Nassau, fret not! Over the next few weeks, The Ink will be

So yesterday, I was walking up the stairs of Blair Arch with a few friends when we started hearing strains of drumming and yelling in the distance. There was cheering and some singing, and I could definitely feel a heavy bass. But it was also 6 p.m., pretty early for anyone to start pregaming (not

USG Knows What We Want

For those who don’t take the time to pore over the details of Yaro’s emails, his latest introduced a new initiative that may be the most astute campus project that the USG has ever undertaken: a FREE FOOD listserv. The email blurb reads: Do you like free food? Then you’ll love our new FreeFood listserv.

I was one of those kids in elementary school. The ones that the librarian knew by name. The ones who won all the Accelerated Reader prizes. The ones that skipped out on recess for Redwall, Mrs. Frisby, Wayside School, Omri, Pippi Longstocking and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. The best day of my 4th grade year was one

So it’s Thursday night and for those of us spending all night with our papers/problem sets instead of going out, demand for study spaces is high. You know the deal. We can all share Firestone, but only until 11:45. Then there’s Frist or Lewis, but only until 2:00. There are only so many places with

Orange Bubble Syndrome is something that many of us take for granted. We get stuck in a cycle of rotating between weekends at Prospect, weekdays at Firestone and occasional excursions for late meal at Frist. We micromanage our days in GCals of rainbow-colored sleep deprivation. We might stop once in a while to read something

Calling all math nerds, Pi lovers and Einstein devotees! If you’re staying on campus for spring break (so near and yet so painfully far), don’t miss out on the second year of a recently birthed Princeton tradition: Pi Day. Mimi Omicienski of the Princeton Tour Company dreamed up this celebration of all things geeky last

Here at Princeton, we all love to play something I call the Sleep Deprivation Game. You know what I’m talking about. The one where you nonchalantly throw statistics about just how tired you are and just how little you slept last night into conversation. The one where you one-up your friends by saying that you

Try out this revolutionary idea: do nothing for 2 minutes. Seriously, though. This website will force you to sit in front of your computer and listen to the sound of waves for 2 full minutes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Forget your thesis. Let your JP be washed away. Soak in a blissful void of problem
