This semester has truly been a sprint to the finish. At the end of it, I graduate and leave Baltimore at least for the summer, if not longer. This comes with a lot of nostalgia. However, I haven’t gotten a chance to deal with it: I’ve been trying to enjoy my Hopkins “lasts” like my last Spring Fair, my last Outdoor Pursuits trips and events and of course the looming deadlines of my last set of final projects.

My family is deeply religious. My father’s side is wholly Irish Catholic. My mother’s side is not Irish, but my grandparents on her side were sure as hell Catholic, and, of course, so is she. I believe we may have some Baptists in the family somewhere but I have not heard much about that.

In the spirit of searching for new potential study spaces as the end of the semester draws near and deadlines loom, this past week I went to check out Baby’s On Fire, a coffee shop and record store in Mount Vernon. Named after the Brian Eno song, it opened just last year to generally positive reviews.

I tried XS restaurant/bar/café for the first time early on a Sunday morning. To be honest, it wasn’t because I’d heard much about it or because I was even particularly interested in going there. It was because the Starbucks down the street had a very long line.

As in many east coast cities, every place in Baltimore has history. From the manor houses in its parks to its many row homes to its rivers, every part of the city has a story to tell. The nearby neighborhood of Remington is no different.

As with any truly hipster neighborhood, Hampden has plenty of coffee shops. The three that come immediately to mind are Artifact, Common Ground and Spro. All of these are locally owned businesses and some locally roast their coffee beans in some capacity.

If you like Station North, you’ve probably been to Red Emma’s. It’s a great place, offering an inclusive community space that values intellectual curiosity and offers delicious vegan food. However, if you’re anything like as distractible as I am, you’ve probably also realized that Red Emma’s may not be the best choice for studying.

At a school where the social sphere as a freshman is dominated by men, where, as at many other colleges, there has been a troubling history of sexual assault and administrative responses to it, where we still have professors who believe that women are inherently more emotional and nurturing than men, the idea of a woman’s value is important consider.

Ever wondered what your professors are up to on the weekend? We at The News-Letter have got you covered. Last week asked Dr. Rebecca Kelly what she likes to do on the weekend. New to the university, Kelly is an associate teaching professor in the Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) department, the director of the Global Environmental Change and Sustainability (GECS) program. She also does awesome things in and out of the classroom.

Waffles. We all love them. When the waffle makers are out in the FFC, the sun shines a little brighter, or the stars do if it’s Late Night. They’re good savory. They’re good sweet. They’re for breakfast. They’re for dessert. What’s not to love?

Baltimore isn’t the first place anyone thinks of when they think of the outdoors, which in a way does make sense — after all, it is very definitely an urban environment.

It is a Sunday night and I should be at home doing homework. Instead, I am sitting in the back of my friend’s car, listening to her talk with her neighbor, wondering if the concert we are on the way to will be worth the loss of sleep I see coming my way like a freight train.

As you probably already know, Hopkins students never have fun. We don’t think about anything but the MCAT (or the GRE, or the LSAT, oh my), working hard, avoiding failure, Ronnie D (praise be unto him), tending to our constantly growing pile of homework, and of course avoiding failure. Like rats in a maze, we skitter around the MSE Library for four years, give or take one, then leave as the merciless, fun-hating automatons that Hopkins has trained us to be.

“What happened to you?” I hear as soon as I step onto the porch. It’s Joe Langley, or Old Joe as I admittedly think of him. He’s referring to my splinted, bandaged finger, on which I recently had surgery.

As all of Hopkins knows, except perhaps for a few stray grad students too deep in their research to notice, Spring Fair happened this past weekend. The weather was beautiful, Wild Bill’s soda was flowing, Chicken on Stick was purchased and eaten in the yearly ritual, and everyone and their professor could be spotted in the Beer Garden.

“It’s supposed to rain Saturday,” Molly said. “You guys still want to go?”

McKeldin fountain has been a part of Baltimore since its completion in 1982. A prime example of Brutalist design, it has been the site of Baltimorean gatherings and protests along with many people’s lunch hours and explorations of the city.

Okay so the title is a little dramatic, what with the joys of spring and all that, but Spring Fair is coming up, nice flowers everywhere, and the air won’t hurt your face anymore. Speaking of nice flowers, my chosen weekend activity (if I did not have to stay on campus to run the Hopkins bouldering competition) would be to go to D.C. for the cherry blossoms.

Last Saturday night I was more tired than anything else. Although I planned on going out with my boyfriend and a group of our friends, I decided I was going to have maybe one or two drinks and then go home as early as I could. Of course as such things go, that was not what happened.
