@LvilleDecisions23
V Formers at Lawrenceville are under constant pressure, weighed down by stress, and forced to meet high expectations in the grueling college admissions process. Underformers love to find out where seniors are embarking on their next adventure and continuing their education. Hampton Sanders ’23, one of the account’s featured seniors, says “I think it’s fun for the community to try and bring light to where people decide to go!” LvilleDecisions23 is the perfect place to check out where our V formers are heading next fall and how they plan to spend their time. Did they commit for athletics or decide their major yet? Check out this unofficial account to find out and do not forget to drop a comment congratulating these awesome V Formers!

@LvilleSustainability 
Trashion show photos, Sustainuary information, and the VILLEage Green website are all composed into one Instagram page—could Lawrentians be any luckier? Follow Lawrenceville’s very own Sustainability Council, the account including all things sustainability-related. LvilleSustainability is a resource often overlooked when in the face of a recycling dilemma, so the next time you struggle to discard your paper cups, cardboard, or certain types of plastic, be sure to check out Pittman Alley’s ’24 recycling video! Thank you, Sus Council, for holding Lawrenceville accountable and responsible for our environmentally-friendly endeavors. 

@LvilleBlacrosse
With Spring Term in full swing, Lawrenceville’s most active account, LvilleBlacrosse, deserves a major shoutout. With an amassed 5,000+ followers, this account constantly posts stories, reels, and highlight videos to showcase their most talented players, especially during the busiest season of interscholastic competitions. Weber Emery ’23 notes that the account is “pivotal for outreach, important for recruiting purposes, keeping our student body in tuned with the team’s success as well as intimating our competitors!” LvilleBlacrosse posts the date and time for each of their games in advance, so no one is ever left wondering how to spend their Wednesday afternoon. Whether it be Fall Ball, an ugly sweater holiday party, or the college commitment season in general, following this account will express support for the fourth national Boys’ Lacrosse Team in action! 

@Epic_Trees_And_Stuff_at_Lville
Epic_Trees_Stuff_At_Lville has been an overnight sensation on Instagram, taking the Lawrenceville community by storm  by “spreading love and peace through epic trees and stuff.” The account takes student submission photos of unique trees, sunsets, and landscapes at Lawrenceville. What better time than now to get involved with this student-interactive account? The owners recommend Lawrentians send their favorite naturesque photos over to this account, as they never fail to credit their photographers. Until this article, the names and faces behind the account have been kept secret, but they are excited to officially reveal their identity by announcing that this account is managed by Max Blecher ’23 and Jack Patel ’23. Students appreciate their admirable mission, hoping to see more of this account, lovingly nicknamed“The Lorax,” on campus this Spring Term! 

@Lville_GSA
The brand new GSA council has worked harder than ever to produce the 2023 Pride Week. The account uses organized infographics and colorful visuals to introduce their upper council, and, as of more recently, their daily Pride Week events. Cassie Dillard ’23, the club’s president, explains that “the account is easy to run because we have council positions dedicated to managing the account’s posts.” She adds how she “loves utilizing the account as a tool in sharing important information with, and even beyond the club.” Lawrentians cannot wait to see photos from this Pride Week of the various happenings organized by the GSA. Show support for the Lville_GSA this week at their daily celebrations and celebrate Pride Week!

@Lville_Bathhouse
As the majority of Lawrentians believe, the Bathhouse is Lawrenceville’s go-to for social life, tasty treats, and most importantly, Deb. The Bathhouse is the only place on campus where the chaos of scrambling students, friends sharing laughs, and plates of sushi can coexist in one building. Whenever students are too distracted by the building’s hustle and bustle, it is not an uncommon occurrence for belongings to be left behind. For anyone who has left something behind—airpods, jewelry, water bottles, or even a retainer—Deb makes sure to hold it and either send out an email or a post to find the item’s rightful owner. In the future, anyone who has misplaced their dental insert or cannot seem to figure out where they can indulge on a flatbread pizza, do not hesitate to search up LvilleBathhouse on Instagram!
