Why is this recipe great? What\u2019s its backstory? <\/h5>\n

Mountain Day has been a favorite Mount Holyoke tradition. I liked the concept of climbing
\na mountain and celebrating the accomplishment with a big scoop of ice cream. All
\nstudents anticipate the announcement of Mountain Day by the President of the college
\nwith a huge excitement. During my college years I oftentimes studied late into the evening
\n\u2014 either writing politics or economics papers or solving mathematics problem sets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 I relished conversations with my friends on various topics as we were all burning the
\nmidnight oil feeling the power of education. So when Mountain Day was to be announced
\nearly in the morning as a surprise and classes were cancelled in order for students to go
\nclimb the mountain and have a scoop of ice cream, I would usually relax and sleep in. It
\nwas not until I graduated that I would partake into this common Mount Holyoke tradition.
\nRegardless of my location around the world, I would always try to attend Mountain Day
\nand share this beautiful tradition with other Mount Holyoke alumnae as we learn about
\neach other\u2019s experience moving mountains in life and celebrating each other.<\/p>\n
