Almost without exception, every entry will begin the year with their own quote board.  They are fixtures of the [[common room]] or hall, and most [[Junior Advisor|JA]]'s will ensure one is created.  This leads every year to the phenomenon of nearly empty quote boards, on which one may observe a few quotes scrawled early on the year being the only residents of a far-too-large quote board.  This looks pretty lame, and to some speak poorly of the ingenuity of the inhabitants of that suite.
