Peirce looks a little different this semester– it’s like Peircegiving every day! To take precaution against the coronavirus, the dining hall has had to switch from letting students dish out their own food to packaging it up into nice little boxes and sending us on our way. And who could blame them? We were gross! And to prove it, here are some things we used to do in Peirce that would be unimaginable to do now.

When I was assigned this article, I immediately sent the two an email, congratulating them on their selection as this week’s featured twins. I arranged a time and place to meet them, where I asked them very invasive questions (i.e. what’s your favorite ice cream flavor?), made them take a personality test, and took pictures of them.
Made in Peirce: Making the Most of Your Soft-Serve Experience
Among the true college freedoms are sleeping in, staying up, and eating ice cream for every meal. As we acclimate to our dining hall environment, we can forget how great these opportunities are; it may actually be possible, if I dare say so, to get tired of ice cream. Preventing such a tragedy is of utmost importance; thus I present the following humble suggestions.
