A Tribute to Georgetown Day

There is no day holier than Georgetown Day. Some might argue Christmas, others 4/20. But if you've ever been to Georgetown on Georgetown day, you'd know why it has no parallel.

1. Class cancellations.

Anila has already had three of four classes canceled. (Except for the one class we have together, of course.)



2. The acceptability of intoxication during classes not canceled.

Pre-gaming a language class is most ideal- diminishes your inhibitions and encourages free conversation. Nevertheless, pre-gaming should not turn into gaming. Save your strength; it's a long day.



3. Leo's goes outside.

There's nothing like a special twist on your everyday dining hall cuisine. Usually, these festivities include some form of Karaoke, which is just embarrassing for all parties involved. On Georgetown day, however, we can say goodbye to those slightly-green eggs and long wait at the Diner just in time for someone to steal your grilled cheese. Nothing but good ole fashioned hamburgers to be enjoyed on the lawn.



4. Foam Pit Extravanganza

Likely a breeding ground for a slew of viruses, the giant foam pit in Red Square is sure to bring hours of fun.



5. Guggernaut (all week)

Brought to you by GUGS (the Georgetown University Grilling Society, where you don't have to choose between college & flipping burgers) Guggernaut is a week-long event of good food and friends. Includes, but is not limited to, sausages from around the world, ribs, a GUGS burger eating contest, and finally a party on Village A rooftops overlooking the Potomac River.



6. The Fact that It's Still On

During Snowmageddon, our Provost James O'Donnell (not the same James from orchestra class) decided to take back President's day. We originally had scheduled no class, but dear Jimmy took that luxury away. A backlash fomented as the student body feared the precedent he set. What other holidays might the University relinquish? Watch, and find out.
