A lot of us here at the Argus didn’t go to WesFest, and if we did, it feels like ages ago. We probably have no business, then, telling you what to do and not to do this weekend, but we’re going to try. We’ve been around for WesFest as students, we’ve seen the special improv shows, the prefrosh sleeping on Foss Hill, the massive lines at MoCon, the protesters dressed in ridiculous costumes, so on. It’s overwhelming. It’s Wesleyan.
We’ve put together a special section of the Argus just for you guys, the prefrosh, prefrosh parents and assorted posse who have come to our campus this weekend to make life hectic and wonderful for a few days. We want to help you figure things out a little easier, to get the info you won’t get from your guidebook or your host who has a research paper due on Monday and is spending the weekend in Olin.
The articles here will tell you about life on that sunny beacon of slacking off, Foss Hill; looking back at WesFest one year later; Wesleyan history you probably won’t learn on your tour; how to navigate dining without eating anything too disgusting; exactly how Internet-obsessed we are here; and your odds, if you come here, that you’ll wind up in a WesMarriage.
Don’t know what a WesMarriage is? Don’t know what Foss Hill is? Even if you’ll learn all about it at 3 a.m. sometime this weekend with your newfound best friends, we’ll try and tell you here. Because after all, it’s always good to be the kids who already look like they know what they’re doing.
