Shadow Tag

It's that time of year. If I had a dime for every time I've heard that in the last week I think I'd have 5 dimes. The time of year to which I'm referring is that of the Shadow Tag. It's a great game where you stay in the sun as long as necessary. It's perfect to play at this time of year because it's so cold outside and that makes you sad. When you walk inside the heater makes you warm. But when you can feel the sun it warms your heart.

So. Basically. This is how you play: While walking around campus you avoid people's shadows. You can pass through shadows from buildings and trees and you can pass through people's shadows when they are on top of the building/tree shadows but you can't touch other people's shadow's otherwise. This is to maximize your time in the sun and the warmth in your heart.

Warnings: If you take this game seriously then you will end up walking at the oddest speed intervals and in the most zig zag motion depending on where the sun is and which way the shadows are going on your path. You may end up walking on the left side instead of the right, or suddenly stopping or speeding up, or suddenly pivoting. But. All for the sake of staying in the sun. It's worth it.
