People often think of February as the month of love, complete with boxes of heart-shaped chocolate and teddy bears, but behind the lovey-dovey-ness that is Valentine’s Day, February also brings with it the month-long celebration that is Black History Month.

Black History Month is the “annual celebration by African Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of blacks in U.S. history” (History.com). The event started as “Negro History Week” in 1926. The idea originated from Carter G. Woodson, an African American historian, author, journalist and the founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (History.com). Woodson is famous for a lot of the books he wrote, but his most famous book is the Mis-Education of the Negro teaching African American self-empowerment (Biography.com).

Although some have been infected since August, the disease is just now spreading throughout the entire Wesleyan senior class. The question is: will they make it?

I am applying to Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Georgetown, Villanova, Boston College, Clemson and Auburn.

Who was your first Wesleyan crush?

George Doane in 3rd grade.

What was your most embarrassing Wesleyan moment?

At the semifinals in soccer my sophomore year against Holy Innocents, I was grabbing snacks during halftime and I was running back to get in the huddle and I jumped over a sewer and landed on a water bottle and broke my foot. It’s okay though because Lucy Mitchell went in and played instead of me. She did fine.

Date Connor Thompson.

If you had 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

I would go to Krystal with all of my best friends.

What was your dream job when you were a little kid versus what is your dream job now?

“I have my career. You guys don’t. You want what I have. And for me it’s a waste of my time.” – Naomi Campbell

At the culmination of a long and successful year in journalism, the journalists wanted to celebrate the end of the year. And the best way they knew how came in the form of a bake-off. As the bake-off used to be an annual event, this year’s journalism class hoped to continue the tradition.
