Reading Week & Finals
Hey kiddos! As you’re all finishing your applications to Wesleyan and other colleges, we’ll be busy studying for finals! Yes, when classes are over tomorrow afternoon/evening, reading week officially commences! Six days of hanging out with friends, writing papers, studying for finals, and attending fun social events to de-stress and close out the semester! In previous years, reading week has certainly been a blast for me. I don’t think I’ve socialized with so many people in the library in an attempt to put off my work! On Tuesday night, we’re having the ever-so-popular, bi-yearly “breakfast at midnight” at Usdan, the new university center! So excited! Other highlights of the week include
- the “primal scream” Monday at midnight (to release all tension and frustration built on over the semester, Wes students will emerge from their dorms/libraries/rooms/etc. at the stroke of midnight, screaming at the top of their lungs outside for a full minute - it’s really interesting to be around so many people who are ready for finals!)
- music concerts
- dance performances
- comedy troupe shows
- and much, much more!
It’s that time of the year!!!
CHEERS!

Sounds like a well balanced “Work hard, play hard” philosophy.
Primal scream sounds like fun- I sometimes want to scream too during finals week at my high school because of the difficulty of the exams- but also because it’s really refreshing to be able to study something that you really are passionate about.
Best of luck on finals!

There hasn’t been a blog update in so long. What’s the deal with admissions decisions?
