Entire Group of Graduating Class in '27 Opt for Campus Transfers

In the vibrant campus of Holy Cross, Julianna Mariani '24 has made a significant impact during her first year. Not only is she the Chief Eggplant Editor, but she also penned a review of her first year for the Spire.

Julianna's talents extend beyond the realm of journalism. During her incoming interview, she surprised everyone with a Grammy-worthy rendition of "Don't Stop the Party." This unexpected performance hinted at the lively year that lay ahead.

One of Julianna's most notable articles was about a quarantine incident in Brooks dorm building, which was published in the Eggplant. The article sparked some controversy, as the comments below the specific Fizz post were aggressive towards the student who expressed concerns about the party life.

The student body at Holy Cross is known for its inclusivity, largely due to the presence of elite sports houses. However, the college's reputation as the Party Capital College of Central Massachusetts has been a topic of discussion. Some first-year students have even considered transferring due to the extreme party life.

Julianna's major is English, and her passion for the subject is reflected in her work. One of her most recent Eggplant titles, "Purple Being Your Favorite Color Is a Personality Trait!", showcases her unique perspective.

Valentina Moran '23 captured Julianna's image for an article, further solidifying her presence on campus. Another first-year student commented that the mandated 6-8 hours of homework outside of each of their four classes is not enough, adding a touch of academic pressure to the mix.

The latest news on Fizz includes updates about the club lacrosse team, Aspen (Colorado), and Sunday Scaries. An anonymous first-year commented that the noise in their dorm building is so bad that it affects their ability to focus.

The acceptance rate for the Class of '28 at Holy Cross is a shocking 18%, with the deciding factor being how many Pitbull songs prospective students can rehearse from memory. There is even speculation that some UCONN boys might have been involved in the Brooks dorm quarantine incident.

Julianna's role extends beyond the Eggplant, as she is also the Editor-in-Chief of all Official Fizz Reports. Despite the challenges and controversies, Julianna's first year at Holy Cross has been a memorable one, filled with growth, discovery, and impactful journalism.
