I did not ride in this fancy car, it was probably a Prius or something, I don’t know for sure.
And we’re back, folks. This is the last time (I promise) that I will tell this story, the story of my travels as a weary first year from South Campus to the lovely Lewis or Norton parking lot.

So, if you’re like me and you try to get breakfast occasionally, there is the morning trek to Peirce. The sun is blinding even on a rainy day, and once you get to the doors they are somehow stuck again. This is the problem we face at Kenyon: how do we capture the emotions of a particular experience? The feeling of walking in the fresh air from the first year quad to Peirce and the immediate drowsiness of the dim yellow light of the entrance? The sudden entrance into the liminal, timeless and clock-less space that is the servery? Well, boy do I have the playlist for you.
This is a four minute (actually, a bit longer than that) lecture with the campus chaplain, Rachel Kessler, a graduate of Kenyon herself! Here is she discussing The Good Place, a show airing on NBC that is currently available in full on Hulu. There will be spoilers!!! Featuring random noises from me and my friend Ceci eating Oreos and fruit snacks and agreeing with what Rachel is saying.
Remember the wonderful event that everyone yelled at me for doing last semester? Well, this time it was for a Good Cause, not just because I was cold. I’m not that much of a continuous dumbass.
