Hello world,
How have you been?
Lately, it’s been sunnier here in Northfield. There have been a few slightly slushy days, too, but that just means spring is getting closer :’)
It’s already ninth week and I can’t believe it! In less than two weeks, I’ll be in New York. Before I go, though, I’m going to share some of my favorite spots on campus (and a quick overview of where I’ve lived).
Freshman year, I shared a double on second Cassat. My sophomore draw number was iffy, so I applied for an ASIA single (and got it)! Last winter, I came back from a term abroad in Hong Kong and was assigned a spacious second Goodhue single. This year, I’m living in a Faculty Club single.
Cassat was definitely the most fun to live on – it’s where I met some of my best friends on campus. ASIA could be a little too lively on weekends, but I think it was my favorite space. Living in a house with a little community feels more comfortable and homey than the dorms. Goodhue was spacious, but the walls were a little thin. This year, I miss the space I had last year, but I do enjoy the 24/7 quiet hours…
Here’s the gorgeous sunlight filtering into my Faculty Club single, onto my bed:
Faculty Club is by Watson, which feels close enough to the Rec but a little far at times from Burton and Sayles. When I walk to the Rec, though, here are some the pretty scenes I encounter:
Crossing Lyman Lakes in the fall! Here you can see Goodhue on the right, behind the trees.
Lyman Lakes in the fall at Golden Hour! And Goodhue.
I love most places on campus just before sunrise and after sunset (Golden Hour). Everything becomes extra photogenic. But on an everyday basis, here are some of my favorite spots:
Boxing bag by the Rec track. I love training when it’s peaceful and quiet.
- Sayles for studying or chilling (I like that ambient noise and high energy, otherwise I fall asleep!).
- When I used to take calc 2, I camped out all day in the CMC Math Skills Center. There’s some really nice daylight that filters through by the windows.
- Dacie Moses! I rarely go now, but this was one of my favorite traditions after a night of dancing or during Sunday brunch.
- The Second Cassat nook! It’ll always be my second home.
- First James lounge: my friends and I always have movie nights (and sometimes karaoke) here.
- The Cave. As a Summer Writing Program alumni, this was one of the reasons I decided to come here.
Let me know – what makes you feel at home?
Warmly,
Eve
