Stories!!!!<\/p>\n
Margaret Dever- This past weekend went to Bigelows Ladies backpacking trip, it was getting chilly!!! They made a shelter out of tarps and then there were OREOS!!! And the oreos went in 7 min flat. A classic tale! Margaret gets a patch <33<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Emma Christman- Story about AESOP! They were all in the van and then they saw a PIE STAND and a glorious blueberry pie, they were so EXCITED to eat it, on their merry way in their canoes 6 miles down the lake and realized the pie was on the dock!!!! A tragedy of a massive nature! A patch for Emma <3<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alex Platt- Driving down from Alaska w a friend, great day, worried about bears and have bear spray in tent, blows up sleeping pad, and tried to sit down on it but accidentally set off the bear spray and CAN\u201dT SEE!!!!! This is concerning bc not only can he not see, in a tent, but also now the bear spray has gone off\u2026 luckily all lived! Patch for Alex <3<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mary Buford-Turnage- Mary was abroad in Tanzania- walking down a path at night and almost didn\u2019t bring a flashlight but last minute<\/span> borrowed one and saw a huge snake, she thinks it is an alligator and they had to drag it away. But don\u2019t worry the guides say, it is a very polite snake!! Patch for Mary <3<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Hannah- She was in the Amazon, had a bug net, got up in middle of night to pee and maybe didn\u2019t tuck the bug net in all the way, and she feels something climbing up her leg but tries to shake it off, finally gets her flashlight and it was a 3 inch long cockroach!!!! Patch for Hannah <3<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ursula Rall- 2nd day of leading AESOP they camped with Colby, they\u2019re being friendly, but then somebody suggests to prank Colby- idea is to melt chocolate, smear on hands and run over to Colby and say it was an emergency and they ran out of toilet paper! Jin puts go-pro in his sleeve and they go running over to Colby, they were so not having it. Moral of the story, Bates students are funner and better! Patch for Ursula <3<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eli Nixon- Also AESOP, they get off the Appalachian Trail and the sign is painted AT sign, looks kinda like an arrow. They run into a Harvard trip, the leader is being all bravado and hardo, luckily saving grace he knows a good friend of our sweet Tess. Once they get the guy talking about their day they realize the leader who is being super silly not reading signs and thinking he was in a construction zone!!! Moral of the story- keep your ego in check and read signs!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ethan Simon- Was skiing with a buncha BOC alum we love and one of them was doing a lot of filming for a sick ski edit, they decide to get sendy and take off all their clothes to ride up!! Who should come along but a huuuuge group of people, Ethan & co have no good explanation for what is occurring!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
