...your damndest to look good for this photo because it may be the most important one of your life. Not only do you have to take your ID with you everywhere to do anything on campus (you’ll need it to eat in the ’Berg, to get into Lamont, to enter your dormitory, to print the paper you wrote at 4 a.m. the night before it was due, and to buy questionable sushi in the Science Center), but the picture you take on August 27, the very first day of your freshman year, follows...

And, considering the University’s current budget crisis, it doesn’t surprise me that the ‘Berg tries its best to economize in June, July, and August. In fact, anything else would be irresponsible. And, according to HUDS spokeswoman Crista Martin, PRISE arranges for its own food, which explains the quality difference. Still, all that being said, I couldn’t help but envy those lucky...
