When all of us nearly-nine-month residents of Gambier, Ohio scatter across the globe, here are a few essentials to remember. 1. Relaxation - This may be a given, but sometimes it’s tough to wind down from a hectic week of finals and a school year’s worth of stress.

	Presents Every Mother Will Love Available Right Here in Gambier By Rachel Larson May 9, 2013 - 3:34pm We’re used to having essentially zero shopping options here in Gambier. That fact is not always easy to deal with, especially when Mother’s Day falls the Sunday after finals. For many of us, it will be the first full day back home, and we won’t have time to hit the mall before May 12. Here are some great buys that don’t require living in the real world. READ MORE

	Love Letter to Peirce By Sarah Bence May 6, 2013 - 1:01pm There’s one thing that 99% of Kenyon students have in common (and no, it’s not brown hair and glasses.) Where we eat. Whether it’s for the local foods, Harry Potter-esque Great Hall, the friendly AVI employees, or the sassy Facebook personality, there is something for everybody to love about Peirce Dining Hall.
