By the time you're a senior, pretty much every class event includes wine. Between "Senior Dinner" (aka networking with alums) on Friday night, and going to my Chaucer professor's house to discuss "Everyman" on Saturday, my weekend was basically all wine, plus lots of interesting Real World discussions with Real Adults (on everything from the power of social media to Kenyon trashcan parties in the 80s). Read on for more highlights.

The good thing about Gambier being so small is that all your professors live a short walk away. So when they ask "Hey, instead of class on Friday, do you want to all come to my house and make pizza?" you can enthusiastically say yes. Instead of a day sitting under hot lights taking picture after picture, my stop motion animation class spent two hours making pizza, looking at pig guts, and watching Peter and the Wolf with our professor.

Every year, exactly one hundred days before graduation, the senior class embarks on a magical night known as Fandango. It's basically prom plus professors and wine: you dress up, take pictures, and spend two hours sloppily hugging 400 of your closest friends (while wondering out loud if you should tell your sophomore year poli sci professor, standing two feet away, that you once stalked his LinkedIn). Read on for more highlights (and pictures) from my own experience at Fandango, which happened this past Friday night.
