Welcome to the Class of 2015!

This is what your college looks like in the fall. No big deal.

Hey guys,

My name is Josh and I'm a senior in TD. I heard that the blog is being sent around on the TD 2015 Facebook so I decided I'd throw up a welcome message for our brand new class.

I only have a few things to say about TD. First of all, it's the best place to spend freshman year. Not only do you get to live with all the other TD freshmen, but you also get to live next to the upperclassmen, who can be a great source of advice (and fun). Second of all, you are right next to your own dining hall and you get to sit in the special long tables right in the middle. Third, you have literally the best Dean at Yale college, and the coolest Master. Fourth, you have a ROCKING group of FroCos this year. And trust me, they're excited to meet you. And last but not least, you have Llamaland. What is that? I dunno. Stop asking me questions.

My good friend Max and I started this blog our freshman year to document our zany, wacky, and fun TD experiences. Feel free to browse the archives for some funny posts. There's also a helpful advice section you can access from the sidebar. (Or here if you're lazy.) We're thinking of starting it up again now that we're seniors, so keep on the lookout for some shiny new posts when school starts.

Hope you have a good summer and can't wait to see all of you on the courtyards and IM fields.

TD FALL PHOTO CONTEST


Hey, loyal TDers!

So, to get things moving here, it was suggested by Josh Pan (-though I'm not entirely sure how serious he was when he suggested it, but here it goes!) that we hold a Fall Photo Contest here on the blog!

The rules/details are as follows:

1. Send in your photos related to the fall time, Yale, and preferably TD to me, at autumn.vonplinsky@yale.edu

2. Keep the resolution and size to something reasonable (e.g., nothing super, computer-crashingly huge, but no thumbnail-sized photos, either, please)

3. Have the submissions in by November 12th

4. As a reward for first, second, and third place, you'll get your photo posted here on the blog, so, you'll get eternal glory and fame. What more could you want?*

*So, I know you guys could want something else, so, more on that to come....

Your judges will be me, AVP TD '13, and Ellen Su, TD '13. If anyone other TDer (I'm looking for just one more taker) wants to be a judge, let me know as soon as possible!


NOW GET GOING!

Who else want's to see the blog back in action?

So I just got a post from Michael Holkesvik '13 on Facebook about the strangest coincedence--ever. Years ago, when I was a freshman, I posted the day we found out that we had received visitors to this site from all 50 states. The last state to visit was South Dakota. The celebratory post is here:



Pretty boring story right? But wait, here's the twist:

*that visitor was Michael Holkesvik*

In a spiritual collision of all things Timothy Dwight, a current TD'er posted about someone visiting the TD site... that would eventually become a TD'er himself.

This all made me want to start posting again. The Freshman Intro video's, the Featured Yalie's, the DJ's of the Week. I want it all back. Does anyone else miss the site and would like to see some new content? I know Autumn '13 misses the site. I'm betting you Nico Bowie '10 would like to see some action. Anyone else? Leave a comment below and if there's support I might kick up the site again.

Best,

Josh Pan TD '12

Flooding the Blog

So, I just posted six times, but I figure I'm on a roll, so why not one more?


Basically, this is (another) call to restart the blog.

Here are the facts:
Timothy Dwight is the best college at Yale, thus,
Timothy Dwight has had an amazing blog in the past, thus,
Timothy Dwight must have awesome things going on all the time!

This is true! We all know it! So let's let everyone else know, too!

Do you have any cool TD related things you've heard about, participated in, or, better yet, are working on/participating in currently? Let us know! Email me (or tell me in person, as I don't check my gmail too frequently. Or even email my yale mail!) so we can get your story up on the blog!

Let's get this thing up and going, you guys!
