What’s better than free food? Free food on Lehman Lawn, in beautiful spring weather, under the blooming magnolia tree, complete with a mechanical surfboard.
This past week was Spirit Week at Barnard, and it entailed all of these things. Spirit Week is a celebration of Barnard-ness organized by Student Government Association (SGA) and McIntosh Activities Council (McAC). It is comprised of a number of different events (often with free food!)
around Barnard’s campus, and always seems to coincide with the blooming of the magnolia tree.
This year’s Spirit Week theme was "road trip," so each day had a different mini-theme
like a stop at the beach or stop at the park.
The
first event was on Sunday night on the top floor of Sulzberger Tower. I wasn’t
able to go to the event, but I heard they had the terraces open, and now am
forever mad that I couldn’t go. Reason number 1298493 to go to Spirit Week
events: cool things happen, like Sulz Tower being open.

On Tuesday, there was
flower pot painting and s’mores on the roof of the Diana Center. And on
Wednesday, there were free drinks in coconuts and a mechanical surfboard on
Lehman Lawn.

“surfing” in the background!

Thursday came with free donuts in the morning, a
BBQ lunch on Lehman Lawn, and ice cream in the afternoon.

Spirit Week and seeing all the Barnard students out on
campus enjoying the beginning of spring always reminds me about why I chose
Barnard in the first place.
