Many, many thanks

Frisbee in the Hoval means it’s FINALLY spring!

HC students write “thank you” on the windows of Hogan to celebrate Philanthropy Day. All those post it notes are something we are thankful for!

Yesterday was Philanthropy Day!  I think I write about this every year, because it’s one of my favorite days of the year (right up there with Applefest).  Philanthropy Day marks the point when, from that day on, the College runs solely on donations from its alumni.  So, we take this day to give thanks to all the Crusaders who came before us – because without them, this last month of senior year would not even be possible.  All of Holy Cross’s social media was celebrating Philanthropy Day with the hashtag #HCGivesThanks, so for my blog post isn’t going to be any different.  This entire year I have been writing about “things I dig” at Holy Cross, but here are some of the other things I’m thankful for that haven’t made the list!

1) The beautiful campus.  Especially now that it’s finally spring!

2) Kimball.  It’s not about the food, it’s about the experience – although the food isn’t that bad either.

3) Cool Beans iced tea.

4) Dinand, open 24/5.  All-nighter are so much more productive if you can spend them in the stacks!

5) The friends that have become my family.

6) The professors that are always so available.  (Shout out to Prof. Joseph, who represented the Classics department with me in Battle of the Departments last week.  We won second place!)

7) The small, tight-knit community.

…and the list goes on, but I’ve got to save some material for future blog posts!  Many, many thanks to all the people who keep this place running – I couldn’t be more grateful.
