It’s the last day before Spring Break. That’s right, soon you’ll be sitting at home or at a beach or somewhere else relaxing and enjoying your downtime, forgetting about everything at Kenyon, including all that work that your professors assigned over break. That’s right, you won’t be reading that 300-page book for your English class, or that dense 50-page article for Political Science, and you definitely won’t be writing that paper due a few days after you get back from break. I mean, why would you? It’s not like once you get back it will all come crashing down on you like a pile of bricks, crushing your very soul along with your GPA. I’m sure it will be fine. Enjoy your break. You earned it. It’s The Friday Ketchup

Will this be you?

Earlier this week the BFEC released an email via student-info reminding students to be safe during hunting season. While initially this seemed like a reasonable warning–especially for those who lack familiarity with the post-Thanksgiving Bambush (indeed, that is a combination of Bambi and ambush)–some of the suggestions were a bit unusual.

10 o’clock list: Things You Suddenly Think You Need When You Walk Into Walmart

As one of those students who doesn’t have a car despite their parents just getting a new Prius (so now they have four cars c’mon that’s more than fits in our garage please can I have one, Mom), when I find myself on a trip to Walmart, I start scrambling to remember all of the things I need.
