The Thrill
Like every year (and every week), 2013 had its ups and downs. There were new cities, new faces, new heartaches, and new friends. Some of it was good and some of it was bad. It’s like what that one famous writer wrote: “Good things are good and bad things are bad.” I like to think that being exposed to this random mixture of good and bad things from the past year has made me a wiser, stronger, person. So in tonight’s list, I’d like to force you all listen to my discoveries of 2013. Or not. The choice is yours.
Finals week blues.
Uphill: Holiday Spirit — Isn’t it nice? Caroling, candy canes, cookies, a Christmas Story on TV. Just kidding, I cannot see past this Finals Week.
You are Bob Ross, and the Internet is your palette.
Today’s edition of Kenyon Kraftz goes out to all the stressed, creatively challenged Internet nerds out there (better-known around the Thrill offices as “our target demographic.”) This create-your-own-GIF website can help you express your inner finals-week turmoil; no, it’s not a particularly kreative Kenyon kraft, but it’s quick, easy and should bring you much unproductive joy. Good luck ever writing a paper again.

“Now everyone will know to come to my senior thesis show!”
You may be one of the roughly 1,600 Kenyon students who receives a daily barrage of emails with the heading “Student-Info” in the subject line. I know, I know, who authorized the school to send us spam? But don’t panic; the Thrill is here to explain the meaning of these constant communications. And just so you know, our information is legit. Everything reported below comes straight from Ron Griggs, VP of LBIS and overlord of your email.
A Brief(ish) History
Long, long ago, when email was spelled with a hyphen (the early 90’s), it wasn’t so easy to shoot an email to your professor to beg for a paper extension. Email accounts weren’t for everyone. Usually they were only given to students in the natural sciences, because they were most likely to be using computer software for their work. But early on, Kenyon decided to give all of its students email accounts. And as soon as Kenyon students received email accounts, they began to use them constantly. (To this day, Kenyon uses email more than its peer institutions).
