It’s finally Friday! Whether you have plans to party hard with your friends, with your books at Lamont, or even with Ben & Jerry’s new Core ice creams (who can resist two ice cream flavors and a topping all in one pint?), take some time to have fun weekend before we’re all swamped with midterms and papers! And if you need some motivation, there’s only two more weeks until Spring Break!
