Courtyard Howls and Party Fouls

As people may have noticed, the 11th Street entrance to our beloved dorm is now decorated with the likes of streamers and purple Aztec-like parrots. Just in case you aren't in the loop with the happenings of 3N, this is all because of the recent FYRE Olympics. On Saturday afternoon - far too early for anyone to be alive - a group of fanatic students were seen congregated in the courtyard. Wearing very war-enthused ensembles and branded with purple parrot tees, you might guess that they were about to kick some ass... if it weren't for the fact that most of these kids looked like the least likely bunch to do so. Heading the team was bespectacled NoTo resident EP (who is usually seen hanging posters that no one reads) and the curly-haired SoTo Southerner KG (usually seen lounging in the CoHo with RAs). As many spectators looked on at the crowd of crazies – meant completely as a term of endearment - doubt loomed in our heads that we'd win the FYRE Olympics… but then we realized we didn't really care.

HOWEVER, we did in fact beat out all the other freshman dorms on Saturday, once again bringing the trophy to sit in the lobby of 3N gathering dust until this process repeats itself next year. Bravo, team.

Following the win, 3N hosted a dance party in the bunker we refer to as C3. I myself was not able to attend this festive gathering, but from what I have heard, not many people did either. In fact, I don’t think many people even knew about (or cared about) the gathering occurring right under their feet. Apparently the partiers consisted of only a handful of randoms. However, I did hear that the DJ and his mixes were quite good. It’s so unfortunate that a party went to waste. Suggestion: Next time get the word out. Maybe I’ll promote these things on this blog next time - since it seems like a greater amount of people read this than the number of those who were actually present at the event.
