Senior Spotlights

What colleges are you applying to? I am going to University of Wisconsin.

Who was your first Wesleyan crush? Jaucqir Lafond.

What was your most embarrassing Wesleyan moment? When I was in sixth grade, I had a crush on Matt Adent. My friend Abby told people about it, and then everyone seemed to know. I sat near Matt in homeroom and every day I just wanted to hide! AH!

What will you miss most about Wesleyan? Being able to talk to teachers openly and honestly and being able to work with them to make my life a bit easier at times.

What is one thing you wished you had done in high school? I wish I hadn’t stressed as much, which would have been easier if I had not procrastinated as much.

What are three things you cannot live without? Animals, yummy food and comfy outfits.

What was your dream job when you were a little kid versus what is your dream job now? When I was a little kid, I wanted to work with animals at a zoo, and take care of exotic animals. Now, I don’t know what I want to do. Keep Reading

Finding the Differences in English and Bible Classes

Freshmen Constance Harris and Elsah James are approached. Can they say what 180-Degree Theology teaches? “No.” Do they know what “eschatology” means? “Eschatology is… what.” The confusion goes beyond Bible, with similar sounding English classes making decisions hard for rising seniors.

Wolves Grow Out Their Fur

Think of your favorite November traditions. What comes to mind? Thanksgiving? Football? Celebrating Christmas at full force even though it’s only been one day since Halloween? There is one tradition that is often shunned and forgotten: No Shave November.

No Shave November is the sacred birthright of men everywhere. It was originally founded in the archaic year of 2009. It was started as a way to raise awareness for cancer, specifically prostate cancer. Each year there are over 150,000 new cases of this disease, and it is not slowing down any time soon. No Shave November is just a small way for an average person to make a difference. Participants in No Shave November are encouraged to donate the money they would spend on grooming products to charity instead. This year’s charities are the Prevent Cancer Foundation, Fight Colorectal Cancer and St. Jude’s Research Hospital.

Although Wesleyan may have stripped away this rite of masculinity from us students during the school year, there is no restriction on students during the summer or teachers year-round. Let’s take a moment to appreciate some of the most bodacious beards Wesleyan has to offer.
