<p>All I’m excited about is this:</p>

<p>“Students will find more late night dining hours, as requested in recent surveys. Four of the undergraduate colleges will extend dining services until 11 p.m., and Subway and Espresso Roma in the Price Center food court will be open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday.”</p>

<p>I’m no longer a slave of OVT.</p>

<p>I’m already excited for the glow in the dark CAPTURE THE FLAG!</p>

10

<p>^Is it for a certain college only? Or whoever attends?</p>

11

<p>I think its ERC only</p>

12

<p>Pretty much all activities could be attended by anybody. It’s not like they’re checking some type of I.D. to make sure you’re from the specific college haha.</p>

<p>You’re school I.D. doesn’t even mention what college you’re in.</p>

13

<p>If anyone wants to recognize me, just look for me on the winner’s side of CTF</p>

<p>^lol, I wanna join that.</p>

15

<p>i’m excited about the free food</p>

16

<p>Ctf Ftw!!!</p>

<p>The glow in the dark capture the flag event @ ERC last year was a disaster. Imagine a game with 40+ students on both sides in a limited field. What you have are 20+ students grimacing each other at the boundary line while 10+ are scaling Middle Earth. The end score was 0-0. On the plus side, you get glow sticks :D</p>

18

<p>^
I remember. Lame.</p>

19

<p>Yeah but with me, we’ll score</p>
