Are you feeling lost and confused? Is something just a bit off and you don't know why?
Something about Spring Term just ain't right? You're not alone. The following are some of the peculiarities of Spring Term 2K5.
Fashion:
Lilly, Seersucker, Madras, OH MY!!! If you want to look like a candy-coated six-year-old, that mommy dressed for a summer wedding, venture at your risk. Contrary to normal spring term fashion guides, this is not an issue of designer labels; it's an issue of public decency. This means you, in the tube top and skirt, sitting with your legs spread is looking like a skank on the hill an HV? It should be. You're in class, so are we, it's casual Friday not clubbing-hopping Friday. If you want to wear a tube-topped item, put on a sweater, save the fun bags for late night.
Similarly, just because it's hot outside and you want to have the best tan this side of East Lex, it doesn't mean you can bear all on the Colonnade. Last time we checked, Girls Gone Wild doesn't come to W&L. Lying out is understandable, lying out on the Colonnade sans top, not okay. If you have to wear a coat and tie to get inside of Lee Chapel, you should at least keep your shirt on in front of it.
Lies of Spring Term:
Someone once told us the following things...
1.) Spring Term is always hot and sunny
2.) Spring Term classes are super easy
3.) Spring Term has parties every night
All of these statements are untrue.
The Truth of Spring Term:
1.) Spring Term is usually chilly with sprinkles of sunlight to tempt and tease.
2.) Spring Term classes are hard, you get 1 (if any) skips, and require far more work than anyone ever signed on for. Midterms during the 2nd week? Not okay.
3.) Spring Term parties? Rumors fly around campus about these supposed parties, but when 10pm rolls around, "Oh no, not here!"
PS-If you thought you never had allergies before...you do now. Pollen, dust, and dander, are a go-go. Spring Term 2K5 has dominated your sinuses like Thomas Worthy dominated his braces. Way to go Thomas! Braces off...hotness ON!
