Spring Break
Yeas & Nays
Issue date: 1/9/09 Section: Forum
Yea to winter term. We can't really think about anything good to say about the time between fall and spring, but we figure it should probably be saluted anyway. Okay, maybe not.
Nay to snow over winter break. Apparently our climate needs to get it straight and snow while we're at school, thus giving us time off while we're actually living within walking distance of all our friends. We missed you, December.
Yea to the entertainment snow provides to people in Portland. Live near a hill? Just sit back, grab a beer, and watch as poor souls try to drive up, down, sideways, off of, and into other stuff. YouTube it if you don't believe us. Hilarious.
Nay to people talking about the weather. We'd much rather hear about that time you walked in on your parents on New Years Eve.
Nay to laughing at the misfortune of others.
Yea to lying. Of course we laugh at others' misfortunes. What else would we write this for?
Nay to New Years Resolutions. Isn't it great to find that in the course of one day, your friends have suddenly dropped their most enjoyable bad habits? Want to go out to the bars? Nope. Want to go eat some greasy dinner? Nope. Want to pick up some nasty hotties? Nope. Where has all the sin gone?
Yea to community service and healthy living? Crap, who are we kidding here …
Nay to syllabi. When will professors learn that going over them in class after telling us to read them before hand is only going to bore everyone to tears, and not make them actually attend in the future?
Yea to multitasking while not listening to your professor go over the syllabus. It's very important to size up the top three hottest girls in your class. Unless of course you're in Milam, in which case you might as well just get out your laptop and start watching a movie. Good luck with that.
Nay to people who are annoying with their laptops. We all know who we're talking about: that lone soul that refuses to turn down the brightness when the lights are turned off, giving everyone behind them a nasty headache. Will someone please give them the flu?
Yea to getting sick. One man in Colorado probably did after a freak accident left him dangling upside down from a chairlift with his pants and underwear at his feet. His nine-year-old child was reportedly with him. All we can picture is a kid screaming in horror: "Daddy! You're dangling!" Ew.
Nay to finding out that every class you signed up for is filled with group projects, exams and finals.
Yea to all the super attractive and smart students that are in your groups. Now we don't have to take film class to stimulate our minds and our eyes.
