Religion Classes are Incredibly Wuwu

“As we were discussing the concept of neighbor-love and such the professor started a sentence with (I wrote it down in my notes so I could blog about it) “When you reflect on your loving relationships…”  When you reflect on your loving relationships!?  Man I love religion courses so much and this is why: because I am wuwu.”  Get deep into Wuwu with Steph HERE.

WRBC Wednesdays

“Since the third week I was at Bates, once a week my dear friend (we met on AESOP !)  and Co-dj Hannah and I convene at Commons at the frighteningly bright and often cold hour of 7h30 to grab coffee and cereal before heading over to Frye street, where the radio station broadcasts.”  Hear more about DJ Nora HERE.

On Satire

“Just what exactly makes something satire rather than just plain offensive?  How do we designate what is appropriate satire and what is inappropriate?”  Join Steph as she discusses the use of satire in a college community HERE.

March Madness…

“As a history major, at some point during my Bates career, I am required to take a specific history short term class. This is the time to do it and although some students refer to the course as ‘History Hell’ I am not too worried about it…”  Read along as Paul ponders History Hell and more HERE.

Dis-decisions

“I danced for three and a half hours straight and while my body aches today, I am so pleased about what a totally epic night it was. Moral of the story: Batesies like to dance.”  To find out what kept Nora moving click HERE.

Getting out, getting going

“After a deliriously happy saturday trek to Commons and a walk around campus in dodging puddles, mud and ice while wearing only light sweaters, we got ourselves oranganized and set off for Portland.”  Ride along as Nora explores Portland HERE.

Step Your Game Up, USA

“As I enter my third month in Cape Town, I’ve become more comfortable with encountered South Africanisms. So comfortable, in fact, that until yesterday I didn’t even think twice about the free condoms being distributed all around the country…”  For more on Naima’s life in South Arifca click HERE.

A New Website For Bates!

“Here would be a good question to ask Batesies: if you had 20-30 seconds to sum up Bates visually what would it include?  Bobcat paw cookies?  The pile of 63 checked out library books I have currently in my room?” Read more about Steph’s input for the new Bates website HERE.

Electionperfection

“This week, the student theater organization, The Robinson Players, held their elections for next year’s board. Theater is one of my favorite extra curriculars here at Bates, and I seriously look forward to the monthly club meetings– purely because of the dynamite personalities all put into one room and allowed to interact (and usually explode) over logistics and theatrical choice and preference.” Read more as Nora shares her exitement for the Robinson Players HERE.
