So, who needs an excuse to attend a dance with their friends? I certainly don\u2019t! When we returned to campus for the spring semester, the Class of 2025 student officers announced that they would be throwing a Winter Formal exclusively for the sophomore class. This was timely because this is the last semester we will all be on campus together because some of us go abroad (me!) or participate in the DC program.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_83\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-83\" style=\"width: 274px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-83\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/alexandraberardelli\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2023\/03\/IMG_9716-274x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-83\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Meg S, Audrey B, Mia B, Alexandra B, Ariana C.

Not to mention that we were the best dressed. (We can \u201cargue\u201d about this at a later date\u2026) The impromptu dance was held in the Hogan Ballroom, so it certainly was an intimate experience for the majority of our class who attended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When we weren\u2019t tearing up the dance floor, we were going around to friends, some we haven\u2019t seen in a while, and others we just met this semester. It was a wonderful experience for all of us to be together, especially during a stressful time in our academic lives. We are grateful to our Student Government for organizing such a fun event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people understand that Holy Cross students are hard-working, but know how to have a good time, inside and outside of the classroom.
