‘Save Me, Scene!’: Never been kissed

“I’m a second-semester senior and I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve also never had sex, and I technically had my first kiss, but it was with my 4th-grade “boyfriend.” I feel so behind, and I feel like I’m missing out on a major part of the college experience.

Although we can’t fix the janky heating systems on the South 40, we can certainly try to answer some other burning questions.

Profiles of streets around WashU

Throughout our almost three and a half years at WashU (it feels like yesterday we were first-years), we have explored the streets around campus where most upperclassmen choose to live. Each cluster of student housing streets has its own distinct flavor. Between our own housing experiences and those of our friends, we have made our way to apartments on every street.

Informal Introductions: What to know when taking Introduction Classes

The transition from high school to the first year of college is a big and jarring adjustment. Walking into the stadium seating of Wrighton 300 for the first time certainly doesn’t ease the anxiety of that transition.
