Singer ’12, whispering just a bit too loudly. “He loves using StickyNotes on his Mac,” I heard Singer say to a study-buddy in a hushed tone, “once, I was looking for a song on his computer and just happened to see a whole bunch of them stuck to the desktop of his computer.” “I mean, that’s not that weird,” I heard...
