(May)hem at The New School: Your How-To-Attend-Everything Guide for the Last Month of School
The calendar of all calendars.
Even if you’re just ending your freshman year at The New School, you probably know enough to know about The End of The Semester. It’s a fast-paced, energetic, exhausting, sleepless, busy inferno with innumerable screenings, performances, exhibits, and talks, all occurring as your academic demands reach their peak. It’s absolute mayhem. Unless you’re pulling a Hermione Granger with a Time-Turner, there’s no way to be, see, hear, or do it all. But you can plan ahead. Consider this your calendar of calendars (and of free food.)
