Free Cookies at Insomnia
Even amidst employee protests, Insomnia Cookies is in full cookie-delivering swing. The store is offering three free chocolate chunk cookies with all online orders. This only works when you order for delivery, not in-store pick-up. Split the cost of an order with your linkmates and enjoy the free extras.

COMING UP THIS WEEKEND

Remember to enter course lotteries for capped courses!

Since the MCATs are this Saturday, there are officially no registered parties this Friday night, so you’ll have to get creative. This also means that Saturday night will be the first night of the school year where registered dorm parties are a thing.

No dinner in the d-halls on Sunday (or Friday, for that matter). The College Events Board’s Welcome Back Event, postponed from last week, will now take place this Sunday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Tercentenary Theatre.

Home Games:
Women’s Volleyball vs. Hofstra, Saturday at 7 p.m., MAC (free)

Field Hockey vs. Bryant, Sunday at 1 p.m., Jordan Field (free)

Men’s Soccer vs. Davidson, Sunday at 2 p.m., Ohiri Field (free)
