Day in a life:Chris

One of my advisors taught us how to play werewolves. We all get really into it—I like it when my mom drops me off early so that I get a few extra minutes to play.

Competitive Debate

We talked a lot today about physical posture and voice projection. It’s not all about facts—you need to know how to act to debate well.

Mock Trial

Today we started analyzing fact patterns to get ready to start building our case. I’m on a team prosecuting a burglary.

My friends and I ate our mac n cheese and broccoli as quickly as we could in order to get in as many rounds of gaga as possible before electives.

Comedy: Improv + Beyond

Improv turns out to be a lot like debate—a lot of thinking on your feet.

A friend from my day group told me about what he learned in his Codebreaking elective—did you know that there are more than five different types of simple ciphers?

One of my friends is an amazing dancer, so he started a Hip Hop Dance Club to teach us some of his favorite moves. I don’t really consider myself a dancer, but it’s so much fun to learn from my friend.

I grabbed an iced tea from the on-campus cafe, and then went to the student lounge to play a few rounds of ping pong with a few of my friends from Mock Trial.

I’m staying late tonight for the evening event (and because the dining hall has tacos tonight).

We did our House Cheers, and Whales were the loudest, of course. Go whales!

Waterpark night was so much fun. I got one of my friends really good with a water balloon, then got to dump a bucket of water on my Mock Trial teacher’s head.
