What do "Batman," "Campus Pizza," "TCERT," "Jimmy Jones," "diisopropylamine," and "a big dildo" have in common? While they sound like the ingredients for the most memorable of all costume parties, those are just some of the names you are likely to encounter when logging onto the network to play Halo 2.
I am an MTV Spring Breaker Wannabe. Ever since I was little, I've dreamt of getting implants and a fake tan, strapping on a skimpy bikini, and heading down to Daytona Beach for Spring Break. Just the thought of meeting Carson Daly and dancing on floating rafts makes me long for that week in March when all bets are off, and people are free to satisfy their natural urges to get naked and drink Malibu Rum all day long.
Saturday, March 12, 2005: For four years, I have been waiting for what will happen tomorrow. I will wake up around 9 a.m., shower, put on the classic little black dress, and start to choke down alcoholic beverages, ignoring the cries of my already hungover body: "Give me vitamins and nutrients! And no, the orange juice in your mimosa doesn't count!" From there, things will only get worse.

This weekend many daring seniors gave Trinity a piece of themselves (or several) to remember them by, but one especially bold soul really went balls-out by sitting through the entire Senior Brunch in his birthday suit. As if it were not enough that he distracted his fellow classmates from their mini-bagels, he then approached Dean Card to shake his hand and nonchalantly shoot the breeze for another thirty minutes.
It may be hard to think about the sun when it seems like we're getting pummeled with snow every other day, but trust me, eventually the temperature will climb above 30 degrees and we can finally wear our Rainbows in the season that they were made for. But with Spring comes some responsibilities that every camper needs to take seriously: proper warm weather attire.
Whether you're dreaming of crashing on the beaches of Bermuda or crashing high school parties back home, Spring Break is bound to be an interesting time for Trin Campers. Just remember, no matter how raging any party is that you attend, your hormones are even more so.
With community service opportunities popping up all over campus, there are now more chances than ever to get involved within and beyond the gates of Trinity. However, Praxis goes above the normal call of volunteering. Not only does this program recruit students to actively participate year-round in community service, but they have also created a theme house devoted to their causes.
