Spirit Building Exercise

This past week, I did a spirit building exercise, which is to say, I decided to answer the question of which building on campus each of us would be if we were buildings. Results of the exercise below:

Jenae and Jesup: Quiet, mature, dabbles in computers, has style

Hadassah and West College: Has history with hoofed animals, enjoys a good view, identifies as a Westerner

Lilly and Hollander: Put together, thoughtful, sharp, long-limbed

Siri and Driscoll: Loves squash, well-rounded, gets cold easily

Ivy and Goodrich: Makes good coffee, close to the arts, emphasis on rocks/stones

  

Maggie and the Observatory: Thinks about the bigger things in life, good for one-on-one conversations, but also seems like a great party spot

 

Carmen and the Gym: Very active, occasionally a bit scattered, full of delightful surprises, plays loud music

Isabel and Mission: Practical, has stubborn irrationalities, Euro tendencies

 Marika and Prospect: Stays up/open late, has a bit of a ~funky flair~, tall

Lucy and the Bell Tower: Makes music, quirky, has a bad sense of smell

Bascom House and yours truly: Spends a lot of time doing math, enjoys being out of the center of activity, solidly built

Structurally yours,
Ingrid
