I’ve always thought that my responsibilities as a student were far greater than even I could imagine — until I became not only a student, but a resident at the student housing cooperative known as the Domes, aka a “domie” (at least for a day).

In Review: Drake at the Pavilion
Arts & CultureMarch 8, 2012
I am literally speechless after the concert; it was that amazing. But I’m going to try and convey how much fun it really was.
