Tradition has to start somewhere!

     So, like many other schools, Converse is one with a lot of traditions. Some traditions are almost as old as Converse itself and others are rather new. Traditions are celebrations of a certain thing we all have in common. Along with being Converse students, which is celebrated during 1889 week, and pink panthers, which is celebrated during Big Sis/Little Sis week, Converse girls have another thing in common. We all suffer from stress. No matter if we're music students, biology majors, political science majors, or theatre majors, our work can sometimes get the best of us and can seem endless. In order to reduce the insane amount of stress, I think a new tradition should be established. I find music to be an excellent stress reliever, so I think a whole weekend devoted to music would be amazing. The students could compile song lists and vote on submissions. The songs chosen could be played through speakers outside on the quad. Students could stay outside for the weekend, weather permitting, and sleep under the stars. I suppose you could say it's a little like Woodstock minus the hippies! :)
