Best week ever: Welcome Freshmen

Looks like everyone's finally back in the great city of Lexheaven USA. And everyone includes the new quarter of our school known as freshmen. Remember that show on Nickelodeon back in the early '90's called "Welcome, Freshmen"? I do, even if you don't, so, to celebrate, this article's going to celebrate the beauty of freshmen life, including a premier cameo from a freshmen boy who will remain generally anonymous.
1. Art in fast food establishments
As I drove up to school, I stopped at a Wendy's, because as far as fast food venues go, Wendy's is pretty high up there. And you know what I noticed as I waited in line? The massive amount of art covering the Wendy's walls. It made me wonder - is it a bad thing if you are the artist who created the Wendy's scenic wall art, or a good thing? I mean, a) it's Wendy's, not MOMA, but b) if art is speaking to the masses, Wendy's is really as top-of-the-line good press as you can get. Chew on that for a bit.
2. The kid who slept on Windfall Hill, outside, on a chair
Word on the street is a freshman boy slept in the great Windfall Hill outdoors after an especially raucous evening this past weekend. Really, that's why they give you a dorm when you go to school here. The raccoons on Windfall get pretty gnarly so I wouldn't recommend sleeping on the hill by yourself outside anymore. So, buddy, I don't really know who you are, but props on making it out of there alive, kind of.
3. Portable Party back in full force
I guess the freshmen and the sophomores haven't really experienced the magic of portable party yet, but you'll know it when you feel it. Or hear it and unwillingly become a victim of it at 3:34 a.m. Portable party is a fun-loving combination of boys and un-sobriety, oftentimes accessorized by a boom box, European techno, loud noises, and cases of beer. Even more exciting than Portable Party is Portable Cable Moochers, a sublet of Portable Party that visits around 6 a.m. (Eastern Time) purely to catch Winnie the Pooh on the Cartoon Network.
