So, at Stanford, we have this tradition called Secret Snowflake, where people in the dorm would sign up on a sheet with a “comfort level.” Then, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of Dead Week (the week before finals, where everyone is studying), we assign people stuff to do (which is a bit like Secret Santa, except that we do extreme things–things that would make most people politically unviable). My Wednesday task involved this song. If you want to know what the task was, please ask me in private.
