    Spend an afternoon at Cones and Clubs

    On the weekends when the Office of Students Activities does not have anything planned, it is easy to get bored on campus. Ping-pong in the lobby can only be entertaining for so long, and no one ever wants to study just for the fun of it. Sometimes, you just need a break from the college
