“There’s a lot less candy now, and at the same time there’s a lot more candy. There’s a lot less candy I have to share, I think that’s the best way to put it. Also, I can dress up as whatever I want and nobody says anything. As a kid I couldn’t say, ‘Mom I’m going to paint all over my face’, and then walk outside.” - Benjamin Spector, Freshman, Computer Science Major
