Mount Holyoke’s classes are challenging and their alum network expansive, but everybody knows I came back this Fall for the cutesy traditions. Elfing is this week, which means all the sophomores are staying up as late as they can to leave surprise presents and signs and candy outside the first years’ doors. And I am writing poems and tiptoing around in the middle of the night, too because I am an honorary Junior Elf! I missed it last year, and one of the sophomores had eight freshman to elf, so I adopted one of hers. I even have a secret name, Belle, and I will reveal my true identity at M&C’s this weekend. Way to keep a secret, right? No one will ever suspect a Junior to be their secret elf.
Meanwhile, I have somehow become a dorm rep for 2006 Class Board, so I am also organizing Big Sisters & Little Sisters in Mead. I’m in it for the ice cream, man!
