Often it manifests in a party theme. I did one with my friend Luca. For an entire year, everywhere I went, I got told I looked just like him. I had a mom during Parents Weekend stop me and be like, “I saw your a cappella show and you were amazing,” and I was like, “that’s not me. I’ll pass the compliment along.” So we did a twin-themed party, where everyone had to bring their doppelgänger.

The ones that I feel are most memorable…Zalentine’s Day, aka Zack Day, which was my favorite. This was very much inspired by a massive meetup of Johns or something and also my friend Zach Susini [’25]. I’m Zack with a k, he’s Zach with an h, and it’s not very deep, but I feel for Zac/k/hs in particular there’s so many variations on a very short name and everyone says “mine is better,” so I was just like, fuck it, we’ll get them all together and have a good time.

It’s really gratifying to know that whatever I do, I can get people together for the most part. I just sent out an email to like 100 people that was like “we should get lunch but for real” edition. I just like putting a lot of people in an email. If I send out a mass calendar invite to all of my friends, I can name it whatever, I can have it whenever, and I can trust the people will show up.
