May Day Hay Day




Ok. May 1st in Oxford is the biggest event of the year. It is a tradition going back a few hundred years, the city center shuts down from 11 at night to 11 am and all of the towns folk and college kids go to their version of prom and go out all night. The Maudlin Bridge is closed and the young boys choir sings over the whole city from 5-6am, and tradition goes that students jump off the bridge into the water to leave their stress from all their years at university and "dive" into the real world. However, I opted to live to see another day. SUCH A FUN NIGHT! America needs traditions like this, I should write a letter.
