(Yes, I did sleep on the floor in my sleeping bag last night because there was too much stuff on my bed.) A friendly suggestion as y'all are getting ready to move in: PACK LIGHT. I moved into Barnard with two suitcases that had everything I needed including all my clothes, shoes and bedding. Now, as I am entering my final year, I have three large suitcases of clothes, one large suitcase of shoes, two boxes of books, one HUGE box of kitchenware, a bike, a sleeping bag, TONS of artwork and posters, a couple of lamps, and goodness knows what else... Going through college, it's almost impossible not to accumulate things, and packing and unpacking from year to year will get increasingly more difficult and tiring. So spare yourself the madness, at least for your first move, and pack only the bare necessities. If you find out you're missing something, during NSOP week you will have the chance to board a shuttle bus from campus to Bed, Bath and Beyond and back to get that extra something that will make your room perfect.

Congratulations Class of 2015! You're part of a special inaugural program that allows incoming students to look within and beyond the Barnard community in unique and meaningful ways. Students who participate will develop a sense of self-identity that is guided by this exceptional college and this dynamic city. As part of Constellation FORNAX, you can use your internal flame to guide you through this new journey!

Hailing from a small town no one has ever heard of in Southern California, Sevan Gatsby is a Senior majoring in Architecture and Spanish and Latin American Cultures. She enjoys hosting dinner parties, designing publications, and learning languages. One of her favorite activities is bike riding on the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, but when the weather gets foul, she gets her exercise by exploring museums. She is an active member of Orchesis: a dance group, and has also enjoyed being a part of the McIntosh Activities Council and the New Student Orientation Program. She also does freelance graphic design for several campus organizations. After spending a semester in Madrid, she hopes to spend at least a year wandering the world and meeting new characters.
