The Final Goodbye

One night, some of the residents of Calvert first and second decided to take a spontaneous study break at 1 a.m. We loaded up in a couple of cars to drive to a remote spot to witness the upcoming meteor shower. Our remote spot ended up turning into a Wal-Mart parking lot and we camped out for a couple of hours to watch the sky. Despite the freezing weather, it was an exciting experience and we saw a couple of meteors. Afterwards, we headed to IHOP for breakfast before returning to campus at 3:30. We all had a great time with the exception of those of us that had 8:30 class that morning.

In other news, this Sunday, the Residential Mentors of Calvert are holding a mixer for all Calvert residents. This is an opportunity to get to know everyone in our dorm “s’more” as we roast marshmallows and make delicious snacks. The slogan for the event is “S’mores not Wars” in order to resolve our differences and stop the civil war between second and third floor.

As you may know, this is the final blog for “Life in Calvert.” From day one, it’s been pretty obvious that Calvert is the place to be for a first year at Trinity. From going on outings with the hall to running around campus naked, we take pride in the dorm we now call home.

This summer, Calvert is going to be renovated. This means that the upcoming first years will know Calvert as one of the nicest dorms on campus. However, us Calveratians of the class of 2013 will know better and will carry the memories from Calvert in our hearts forever, or at least until sophomore year.
