A dash of quirky and a sprinkle of strange…The Class of 2017 came together months before the much anticipated date of Matriculation; we’ve bonded and shared our excitement through ponderings, rambles, and reflections captured on the vibrant Tufts Class of 2017 Facebook page: what to pack for pre-orientation, how to choose classes, what winter clothes to bring, and anything that even remotely pertained to elephants. Yet, what is remembered from this page are the anecdotes that went a bit farther… those comments that were met with a raised eyebrow, an occasional giggle, and in some cases, bewilderment. Let’s take a look at the inner workings of the freshman class.
1. LOL.
2. I think we’ll pass.

4. …and because of the obvious point that if you don’t breathe, you’ll die.. YOLO
5. Just, what?
6. Never insult a butterfly..
7. We actually wanted to know which lima beans we’d be..
