Students play their favorite games on an early spring day (via Special Collections)
Even though it’s cooled down recently, the weather this weekend proved that it is definitely springtime. And with that, Kenyon students are starting to practice an new set of sports. Of course, there are the ones you expect – lacrosse, cross country, and the like – but Kenyon is actually home to many other, more unique sports. Here, I’ve compiled a list of the most noteworthy teams to join. Continue reading
It’s never ogre with the CDO.
We like to stay pretty competitive here at The Thrill, and a Blog Off is one way we can definitively prove that one of us is objectively a better blogger (dare we say, a better person). So we leave it to you, the reader, to decide in a blind taste test who is really better as we square off on various topics.

You may photograph better than we do, but we think we’re up to the challenge. [Ed. – Full disclosure, that’s Thrill daily editor Kate Lindsay second from the left on the top row, making a finger gun. We’re prepared to engage in a battle for your mortal soul, Kate.]
We here at The Thrill are fairly competitive. We bicker about everything from page views and post ideas to best party stories and hottest soccer players. The genesis of this particular argument arose over a dinner conversation about newly acquired kicks — both editors believed their own shoes to be the best. Without telling you which fly sneakers belong to which fly Thrill editor, we need you to help us settle this long standing debate.
Red versus Blue, who ya got?
