LIVEBLOG: Dean's Date, Fall 2019
5:14PM — Forbes Annex Congratulations, Princeton—we've officially passed the 5PM mark! Thanks for joining the Press Club this year for another round of our Dean's Date liveblog; watch this space, and be sure to return for Take 2 in the spring!As always, we hope that this year's liveblog has proven to you our Serious Journalism Skills.™️
Until the next,UPC4:32 PM — Forbes Annex (I promise I've left this room!!!) With just over 20 minutes left until Dean's Date, a soft rain has befallen Princeton. Here are some fun activities you can look forward tonight despite the dreary weather, before exams officially begin tomorrow:Dean's Date Celebration @ McCosh Courtyard, 4:30-6PM: there will be blankets, donuts, cookies, waffles and other sources of processed (and very delicious) sugar at the annual celebration organized by the USG social committee. Stock up for a long night!Open Mic: On the Grind @ Coffee Club (basement of Campus Club), 9PM: the Coffee Club is hosting an open mic event complete with great poetry, music and the strangest assortment of foods (sushi, Tico's, coffee and tea) (do not eat all at once) (or regret... forever).A Dean's Date Pizza Party @ Campus Club, 10:00PM and 11:15PM: the Alcohol Initiative is ordering Papa John's pizzas to Campus Club, where you can also do other fun things (ref: above).A well-deserved nap @ your room, ∞PM: 'nuff said.There are other, perhaps rowdier, events befalling campus on this final Dean's Date night. But your correspondent, who shall be on duty in—you guessed it—Forbes all evening, shall refrain from sharing those details.
Rest well, have fun, and stay safe!- JK4:30 PM — TowerIt's been a long day/week/year, and tired Princeton students can have a tendency to write overly academic and jargon-y sentences. Here is a selection of the best, curated by the Press Club:"Among the most prominent black figures to 'clap back' at Tucker was hip-hop superstar Tupac '2Pac' Amaru Shakur" - MG"What was once erōs transforms into repulsion." - SH '20"Does the evident influence of religious affiliation in the ultimate judgement of Federal Court of appeals judges imply underlying antidisestablishmentarianism sentiments?" - RH '21"It promises divinity and infallibility as well as punishment and perversion" - LH '20"The carboxylate group of Asp52 acts as a nucleophile to form a glycosyl intermediate" - MW '20"Berkeley needs to provide an account of why finite spirits are the authors of sin, despite the fact that on an occasionalist reading, God appears to be directly causing all perceptual sensory ideas." - BM '20"The private control of the isolationist community according to religious law is independent of the existence of traditional state power and the legal entity of the municipality" - EDS-EDS4:00 PM — The Final CountdownOne hour left until Dean’s Date is finished.The stress, sweat, and impending euphoria in the air are palpable as students finish their assignments and make urgent post- Dean’s Date plans.Here are some of the first things that your peers will do once the Dean’s Date final bell tolls:“Take a very long nap under my weighted blanket, eat the Ferrero Rocher I’ve been saving, & then start studying for finals!” -TW“Well I just made plans to watch The Bachelor!” - RP ‘23“I’m probably still gonna be studying for my finals...Dean’s Date doesn’t mean shit anymore...I have a thesis.” -CW ‘20“I’ll finish reading Ann Patchett’s new book, The Dutch House.” - CJ ‘23“Recaffeinate! I’m working two shifts as a barista at Coffee Club tomorrow and I’m almost 100% sure that a latte will be the first part of my day tomorrow.” - MA ‘21“I...I don’t know...I’m probably gonna take a nap because my brain doesn’t work anymore.” -GG ‘20“Uhh...study for my exam for the same bitch ass class as this essay I’m writing” -AR ‘21“The STEM life has me studying for finals, and not writing essays. The end of Dean’s Date doesn't stop the grind. TL;DR, crying.” -HF ‘23“I don’t have too much of a choice so I’ll be prepping for my math final on the 15th! But hopefully I can sneak into the Dean’s Date Celebration for a little bit for those cookies and donuts!” —SG ‘23“I don’t have anything for Dean’s Date so I’m like...chillin. I will probably not even realize that 5 o’clock has passed” -EO ‘20“The first thing I’m going to do is take time to do NOTHING for the first time in days and I’m going to enjoy it so much!” — VP ‘23“Take a fat nap.” - AQ ‘23What are you doing once Dean’s Date ends?-AA1:09 PM — Y2KSo it appears that the University wifi is having issues. Sites including EasyBib and Citation Machine cannot be accessed by Princeton students.Of nearly equal importance, the University Press Club site, including this blog post, has been put on a list of sites blocked by Princeton's network. (We assume by mistake?)This campus has returned to the Stone Age, but at least one of us is prepared. LL '20, a history major, was already planning to only use books for his papers.When two nearby students started complaining about the internet, he looked up from his computer and uttered a single, smug word:"Ha."-EDS12:57 PM - Chipotle DoordashAs you prepare for critically analyzing fine-tuned arguments in outside pedagogical research, here’s a key court case from 2006 to help you along.It has been a source of great scholarly debate.
Is a burrito a sandwich? You decide.-AA11:38 AM - Cuyler Hall
Good morning/good night!
Here are some (maybe delirious) memorable group chat outtakes from the past few days:
“We don’t have to watch alt-right propaganda when we have CATS” - KC ’21
“I concur. We don’t have to watch alt-right propaganda other than CATS” - NP ’21
“I tried to make a trap mix of my journalism project early this morning but accidentally saved over the original file so I had to do it again” - MW ’21
“Lets have our own Cuyler cry at midnight” - JH ’21
“God I wish I was from north Dakota…Like I want to be exactly the same but from North Dakota so that can be something I talk about…My parents would still both be rabbis…and at that rate they’d probably be the most prominent ones in either Dakota…Well good night” - NP ’21
“Just saw a kid crossing elm drive with his laptop in hand while typing .... good luck Charlie” - KC ’21
[in response to NJ '21's Gushers feature] “Where’s my feature?…I’ve eaten over 1000 Chobani yogurts since coming to Pton…280 Gushers boxes is like child's play…Nothing compared to mowing down 2-3 Chobanis every dam day…I can fit exactly 33 in my fridge and still have room for my half gal of milk. The seasons never change in Gainz land. Always bulking szn. 2 chos and a glass of milk each day…my bones’ like vibranium” - MW ’21
On ME ’21 getting a new AirPods case—
“Precious. They look so beautiful swaddled in their new clothes. What are their names?” - MW ’21
“So freaking beautiful” - LC ’21
“AirPods tradition is that they are named on the night they are swaddled, so think fast” - MW ’21
Well, readers, ME ’21 is obviously me and if you’re curious…my Pods are named Timothée and Chalamet, right and left sides respectively.
Happy cramming!

Take it one tree at a time…
-AA1:29 AM - in a food comaFor yet another semester in a row, yours truly is back with another rousing post about all the free food on campus in the lead-up to Dean’s Date. PC ’20 and I embarked on our food adventure at 10:00pm. Having spent an hour and a half last December learning to make salad dressing with Chef Brad in the Wu dining hall (hint: 3 parts oil, 1 part acid), we feel uniquely unqualified to judge this year’s offerings.Our highlights from the night:Campus Club, Jammin’ Good crepe: 6/10The crepes were still warm when we picked them up, and slightly toasted at the ends. The cranberry was an interesting touch, and neither sweet nor savory.Campus Club, fruit: 10/10Maybe it’s a sign that we’re getting older, but the fruit was by far the best food of the night. Who knew sliced apples were so good? We didn’t stick around, but there was also pizza at 11.“The fruit is all gone because we ate a good amount while walking.” – PC ‘20Whitman, whale squishies: squishability, 8/10Whitman’s late-night breakfast was decked out with massage chairs, a smoothie bike, sunglasses, and squishable stress whales. This is not a food comment, but this correspondent is currently regretting not picking one up to bring to the depths of Firestone with her tomorrow.Whitman, smoothie: taste, 2/10; experience, 10/10While Whitman indeed have a novel pedal-this-bike-to-make-your-own-smoothie offering, this correspondent reports that the actual smoothie itself was not quite worth the hype. She was also told to pedal faster, which might be the reason why there were still chunks of ice and whole pieces of fruit in her drink when she finished. For future adventurers eyeing this contraption, she recommends getting the strawberry and banana, skipping the mango and yogurt, and going light on ice. Find someone with long legs. Preferably someone who makes the two-minute walk to Dillon.Rocky, breakfast: grateful to have food...We’re happy to provide this complement to JK’s earlier review of late-night breakfasts. The common room and dining hall were full of students taking Harry Potter quizzes, furiously typing away at laptops, and struggling to separate mounds of bacon in the servery.Our conclusions:“It tastes like powdered eggs. Rocky’s not getting a rave review, I’m sorry.”“Tastes like lemonade.”
Was it worth the walk? Can we be food critics? Will we finish these papers? I head off to sleep with a heavy stomach. Sorry, mom.-BWB1:07 AM - ~ the art world ~A response to SMC's 12:27 AM post:Is Creation Masturbation or Insemination (2019) - currently on display in Frist Campus Center - is actually a work by my good friend AR '21."I was definitely going for aunt fanny-esque no doubt lol," AR '21 told me via text. "I'm glad to see it's still standing."A burgeoning Princeton-area artist whose work explores the political nuances of the bare body, AR '21 makes avant-garde art that often invokes some of abstract expressionism's most compelling qualities: 
Keep an eye on him. He's going places.Check out more of his work here.-MG12:52 AM: Cuyler Hall
Over the past two days, my close friend, NJ '21, has dipped even deeper into his Gushers addiction. "I've eaten eight boxes so far," he said, leaning back into his chair.
His addiction is summed up best in a lengthy text message he sent me. He wrote, “It is said that true love involves giving someone the power to make you immensely happy or sad -- the magnitude of sadness I feel when I open an all red gushers packet is only paralleled by the happiness I feel when I open a multi-colored one, and as such, it must be true love.”
On October 23 at 1:25 AM, he direct messaged the Gushers Instagram account with three evocative words: u r powerful.
And when asked how many Gushers he’s consumed during his time at Princeton, he whipped up a few calculations. “Okay let’s do the math. Each semester is 12 weeks. Plus say another two weeks for finals and Dean’s Date. I’ve now done four semesters...so that’s 14x4. I probably go through five boxes on an average week,” he said. “So that’s 280 boxes. Sounds about right.”

Edit: NJ read this post and sent me this from Firestone:
- ME12:50 AM Frist, Firestone, Study Spaces Across CampusWe all could use some great study advice right about now. Or at least, some study advice.Here are some of your fellow students’ weirdest study habits. Hey, maybe they work!“Do not know if this is a habit or a curse, but if I’m reading something that remotely recalls lyrics from a musical, I will start to sing it in a desperate attempt to heal the void inside.” - JL ‘22“I’ll drink intense amounts of water so that I pee a lot to keep myself really energized when I study.” - JA ‘23“Blue light.” -BJ ‘23“Studying things in bed right before I go to sleep so hopefully they stick in my mind better.” - EL ‘23“Make a trip to the Ustore and buy every caffeinated beverage they sell: Red bull, iced coffees, whichever probiotic drink is trending now, whatever. You then become the sole proprietor of caffeine on Princeton's campus. Set up camp right outside the Ustore and wait for the caffeine deficient hordes to start rolling in. As they leave the Ustore disgruntled with their unfruitful journey, offer to sell part of your stash to them, at a premium of course. Drink as much of your stock as you need, though the rush of your avarice and a lucrative business opportunity coming together should be more than enough to keep you awake. You might not get any work done but who needs good grades when you're rich ” - MO ‘22“I like to take quick power naps- sometimes in firestone I’ll pull two armchairs together or just put my head down on the table and take a 20 minute nap before getting right back to work.” - SP ‘22“Not studying.” - MS ‘22“I like to listen to music but I don’t want to get distracted by choosing the song or new lyrics so I listen solely to Lorde for like... 6 hour stretches.” -RB ‘22“My weirdest study habit is procrastinating by watching videos about improving your productivity.” -KM ‘21“If you have any, pass them along, cause I could use them tonight.” —KB ‘22-AA12:27 AM Frist Campus CenterI wandered around Frist looking for Defenders of New Jersey.

Late Night Breakfasts have you fueled? Whitman stole the show with a very well-lit affair, replete with lots of warm entrées, lots of chocolate milk, and bikes that made smoothies. I repeat: bikes. That made. Smoothies. Here's JS '23, for instance, crafting her strawberry-mango-banana-orange juice concoction with some furious pedaling:
...and here's what your correspondent enjoyed, despite not being a Whitmanite.
In contrast, Wilcox was quiet. Too quiet. And devoid of much food.
But Forbes? As the only residential college tonight without a Late Night Breakfast, it wouldn't have been worth the walk.
And Rocky / Mathey? As the residential college furthest away from your correspondent's home base, it wasn't... worth... the walk.-JK11:56 PM - FirestoneTypically, birthdays are enjoyable days. Eat some good food, hang out with friends, cut a cake – have a good time. This year, I did all that… for an hour. Three guesses where I spent the rest of the day. You guessed it... Firestone. I can definitively say that I have never been this productive on a birthday in my entire life. Granted, that itself is a huge gift, because, honestly, I don’t know where my work ethic has been hiding since fall break. Cheers to those with January birthdays! On the bright side, next year will hit a little bit different. -VP 11:44 pm – Butler/Wilson Dining HallQuick reminder to thank the professional workers at Late Night Breakfast throughout the dining halls!-YL11:00 pm - I <3 PAI regret to inform you that there has been a journalistic failure in this blog tonight.We told you about the New Jersey Twitter account (@NJGov) instead of the far better account from a far better state: the account for Pennsylvania's Treasury (@PATreasury)This brings us far better content:https://twitter.com/PATreasury/status/1208509901900845057And a little more political:https://twitter.com/PATreasury/status/1212465946029412353As a loyal Pennsylvania resident, I will never say that it is a good state (or commonwealth).

Took a quick break from a 15-pager to scroll through my favorite chefs’ Instagram accounts. Here’s a sampling of their recent work:

- Vijay Kumar and the team at Rasa in California’s Bay Area have garnered a Michelin star every year since 2016. The Rasa account recently posted a French/South Indian fusion dessert that caught my eye:
- Jaime Rodríguez is an up-and-coming star in the Latin American culinary scene. World’s 50 Best recently flagged him and Restaurante Celele in Cartagena, Colombia as a food lab to watch in future world rankings. Chef Rodríguez posted this mesmerizing plate on his Instagram account:

Does Dean’s Date have you feeling down? Regretting your decision to move to New Jersey? Well, the Garden State’s official Twitter account will hopefully convince you otherwise. Featuring the eloquent likes of ‘u up?’ and ‘your mom’ and ‘big state energy’—real tweets tweeted by the state government—the account is the perfect source of Dean’s Date procrastination.

-AA7:57 PM — Firestone New Wing You might not have finished those papers, but there's always time for a good spirit animal quiz!Everyone copes with Dean’s Date differently. For PW ’21, CB ’19, and yours truly, it took the form of intensely completing these. Here’s my rundown of the best and worst spirit animal quizzes out there:
- Brainfall’s quiz (https://brainfall.com/quizzes/whats-your-spirit-animal/) is your standard, run-of-the-mill, potentially brain-numbingly simple personality quiz. Nothing wild or wacky here, but they do let you choose your own spirit animal after you’ve already been assigned one. Apparently I’m a Cat—”independent and curious” but also somehow “drawn to darkness”—but if I really wanted to, I could opt to be a Bear, Snake, Lion, Whale, Turtle, or even Eagle.
2. Spirit Animal’s quiz (https://www.spiritanimal.info/spirit-animal-quiz/) was also unthinkably bland, but it seems as though people in the comments agreed with me. Charles, on June 20th at 12:44 am, wrote “I keep getting bear when I know I am Wolf.” Olga said, “I’m pretty sure that I’m a wolf but I keep getting frikking other as animals but a wolf like a coyote.” Only Anonymous seemed to be satisfied with their result: “I’m wolf ahoooo mah fav animal.” 
3. I highly recommend How Stuff Works’ quiz (https://play.howstuffworks.com/quiz/whats-your-spirit-animal) solely due to the number of ridiculous questions and responses they include. There seems to be a strange running metaphor of wanting to build your own house as an indicator of personality, which was startling but amusing nonetheless.
