TOM VAZQUEZ ’16 CHEERS CHEERS& & JEERS GUY

Believe it or not, the last day of classes is Friday, Dec. 11. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t the slightest idea how we’re already a little more than a week away from completing the fall semester. As we approach the end, try to remind yourselves of three important realities: if you haven’t handed in that paper that was due Sept. 24, you probably shouldn’t worry about that anymore; if your professor still doesn’t know your name, maybe stick your hand in the air once or twice in the final few class meetings you have; and if you haven’t been to class since syllabus day, try showing up with a few plates of food to share with the professor and the class — quality, not quantity.

1 Cheer: 1 Jeer: Mental Discombobulation I’ve had enough. You know that feeling when you’re so far behind with work and deadlines and have been for an entire There’s something oddly satisfying semester and even though you’ve been doing about sitting behind a computer screen in this whole college thing for a few years now sweatpants and a T-shirt, coffee by your side, you still can’t figure out how to manage with 50 tabs open and 13 different carts filled your time and your friends and the entirety with miscellaneous items. You don’t have to of your life, past, present, and future? You worry what you look like, you have access to don’t? Well aren’t you special. all of your Thanksgiving leftovers while you shop, and you don’t have to wait in horribly long lines filled with people who can’t comprehend the concept of patience. ‘Murica.

2 Jeers: Unemployment When I’m in the middle of working 30 hours a week in 2 Cheers: No-Snow November the middle of a semester, I can’t stop thinking about how nice Well, it’s officially December and other than the it would be to not be working. But then I’ll stop working in few isolated, sorry excuses for snowfall in November favor of focusing on other more important things, and after I I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this gorgeous weather. find myself spending $1,000 a week on Chipotle and Panera Nicely done, Syracuse. Just when you finally gain alone, working doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Point is, some attention as one of the snowiest cities you go I’m unemployed, I like to eat, and I’m running out of money. and ruin it. Just kidding. Warm weather for life. (I’m Yay college! writing this on Nov. 30 so I’m banking on no snow this evening).

3 Cheers: BuzzFeed Videos I was told a while back that BuzzFeed videos are hopelessly addictive, and after doing some research on roughly 100 videos between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m., I am willing to corroborate this claim. With finals 3 Jeers: Post-Break Blues week coming up and with paper deadlines inevitably My motivation was on a sharp decline just as we looming, I’m advising you all to stay away from BuzzFeed. arrived at the Thanksgiving break. I told myself this They pack the perfect amount of funny into a reasonably semester was going to be different, that over the break timed video and the focus of the videos are things that I was going to catch up on all of my work and come back make you wonder why you didn’t think to film you and for the final two weeks way ahead of the game. As usual, I your friends doing the same things. did absolutely nothing over the break and have returned with even less motivation and even more work to do. I like the Thanksgiving break, but maybe we should just get Thanksgiving Day off so we can plow through the remaining weeks of the semester without losing any momentum.
