Class of 2016 Facebook Group

Some of yall may remember my 2014 and 2015 attempts at cyberbullying the incoming classes of freshmen First Years.  These posts were 'enjoyed' by many, and caused others to disparage the good name of Tom Seahawk, via it was kinda cyberbullying.

Times have changed.  Now to 'join' the class facebook groups you gotta be 'approved' by people like Tricia Realbuto and Sola,  I ~guess~ they are just tryna do their jobs...but it makes it hard for me to mine, via blogging.  It also kinda sounds like they are restricting freedom of speech...kinda sounds likes TERRORISM to me...

But worry not, dear readers.  Both administrative emails AND facebook postings can be leaked to the outside world for our ~amusement~.  Take a seat, and take a gander at the newest members of our "Honors" college~

Monica I'm pretty sure you are going to need to pick up Shakespeare's original manuscripts for your intro to English Lit class.  This seems like a silly question, is it ultimately just a stealth brag, a way to show off her 'fancy' Kindle?  Wonder if it's a plebian Kindle or a master-race Kindle Fire? [EDITOR'S NOTE:  This was a paid advertisement]

Micaela you certainly don't have to wear shoes, if you enjoy having massive gashes on your feet.  IDK maybe she is a masochist?  Maybe she read 50 Shades of Grey and realized she is into pain?

I like her analysis that swimming with shoes would be "sorta weird in the deeper parts".  Cause, I guess swimming with shoes is pretty natural in the shallow areas.

Well.  I honestly refuse to believe that Isabel here is not trying to troll us.  There is no way this is real.  I really have nothing else to say.  It speaks for itself.  ~so beautiful~ ~so brave~

Danny you are only allowed to bring 40oz containers of malt liquor, not fish tanks [EDITOR'S NOTE:  My favorite 'joke' in this post].  But she is pretty smart and shows her "Honors" college credentials by attempting to bring two separate 20 gallon tanks.  Also I like how there are specific regulations as to the size of the tanks in To the Point.  And that they had an extended discussion about fish tanks.

This one was interesting.  Rather than anyone attempt to answer her question everyone jumped on the "look at me, I'm an ally, I don't hate gay people" bandwagon and bogged down her discussion.  Which I guess is preferable to anti-gay responses.  Can't really articulate my thoughts on this one exactly but it struck me as an annoying/stereotypical response.

That's all for now.  If my analysis of that last one is incorrect/dumb feel free to call me out on it.  luv yall~ <3 br="br">

Two Recent Student Creations

Two recent student made things to bring to yalls attention.  First is a video from Relay for Life.  It's pretty cute and well done, and Danny Patrick Thomas Ruthenberg- Marshall made it.  EDIT:  Apparently Shannon Vandever made it.  Sorry!

Other than the A capella it's p cool.

Next is an opinion piece in the terrorist newspaper (that joke literally never gets old) about making the campus living wage a reality, which I was paid one (1) beer to blog about.  You can find it here.  I thought it was really well written.

Volcano Terrorism Cockblocks Oxford Kids

The volcanic terrorism that erupted in Iceland a few days ago has caused flights from merry ole England to be cancelled, which is pretty lame because the volcano coincided with the end of the semester for Oxford study abroad students. Coincidence? I think not.

What's important though is that the Office of International Education has failed to contact these stranded kids (as of Sunday morning) to figure out if they are okay/homeless/turning tricks on the street (lets hope so).

Kids over there started emailing dudes over here about this (I think someone's mom emailed Dean Bayless even), and I think that some have gotten their flights rescheduled and are on track to come back to the Americas.

Either way, hopefully the Office of International Education will make a greater effort in the future to ensure the safety of its students in the event of volcanic terrorism.

Also, Insert Lost reference/joke here (stuck on island, etc.).

UPDATE: Seems like a fair amount of people have had issues with Office of IE. I wonder if they are understaffed or just incompetent, probably the former.
