A week ago, the election for the next President was held, in case you haven't heard. It was a big deal at Wesleyan University because of how Liberal-dominated of a school it is. Right after Barack Obama was announced the president elect, there was a frenzy outside with people screaming, dancing, and singing. After his speech, I checked out where all the noise was coming from and it turned out to be a huge mass of (probably) inebriated Wesleyan students celebrating. You read of important, historical events all your life, and it was something different to be in the middle of one.
