THE EDITOR'S DESK
This is now: Spring Break Contest
No, we're not offering trips to Ft. Lauderdale. This contest is all in your hands.
If your week off included more than sleeping and eating, I want to know about it. Tell me why you had the most amazing Spring Break ever. I'm looking more for "I met the most inspiring person on alternative Spring Break" than "I got my tongue pierced in Cancun."
The winner will be interviewed by Campus Philly staff, and his or her story will be featured as an article on the website. The story will also be featured in materials for CP's "Work. Party. Eat." Spring Tour.
To enter, simply send me a short e-mail with a few sentences about what made your break so special. As usual, that's to nicole@campusphilly.org.
I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
