‘Class crushes’ and ‘bus crushes’ can be more than just eye candy

The first day of class can be a real struggle. When looking for a seat, trying to a find familiar face is an awkward and difficult task. But, if you think like me and you don’t see anyone you know, you don’t panic. Instead, you give everyone in the class a quick, stealthy once-over and confidently sit down next to the hottest guy (or gal) you can find. Now, this may sound shallow, but let me What’s my year again? explain to you why this could very well be the best decision you’ll make all semester. If you sit down next to someone with potential, then you are more inclined to develop a “class crush.” ‘Super seniors’ are more common than ever, and degrees take too long What’s a class crush? It’s exactly what it sounds like — it’s that special someone you can’t help but admire because they’re so much more appealing than whatever class you’re enrolled in. I know it sounds nerve-wracking and ridiculous to spontaneously pick your seat based on looks and first impressions, but I assure you, a class crush is actually an awesome thing to have. Not only do they keep you preoccupied Blair Rosen / The Breeze during class time, but they actually motivate you to go class.

The 40th season premiere of ‘Saturday Night Live’ disappoints, loses its spark

SNL’s executive producer Lorne Michaels has talked about the show being in a “transition period” for years now, and after Saturday’s 40th season premiere, it’s clear they still haven’t made any headway. It wasn’t all bad, though. Some sketches stood out among the weak and cheap ideas. A notable example was guest host Chris Pratt and Aidy Bryant attempting to flirt, but instead rapping Nicki Minaj and Drake- inspired lyrics. It started to border on that cheap feel, but Aidy Bryant practically screaming “My BIG FAT ASS” to the tune of “Anaconda” still got a laugh out of me. I’m only human, after all. I’m also proud to see them poking fun at the NFL’s terrible handling of the domestic abuse controversy. They featured an NFL player lineup where each of them mentioned their criminal offenses instead of their colleges. Candidly (and successfully) taking on topical issues is what’s made this show such a classic. Aside from the awful — and I do mean terrible — sketches that included toys (Pratt and Taran Killam) coming to life and learning that touching their crotches “feels good,” the beloved Weekend Update segment has officially been thrown to the dogs. Michael Che (who?) has replaced Cecily Strong, and I already miss her presence as an anchor. Her comedic timing was untouchable, and while she left voluntarily, the male duo of Che and Colin Jost (again, who?) aren’t funny. Apart from almost every joke touching on race — because adding two black cast members for the first time in years apparently calls for endless racial humor — it’s also incredibly offensive. “Comedian” Pete Davidson (“Guy Code”) has already, out the gate, made his first on-screen appearance a homophobic rant, where he explained how much money it PHOTOS BY MARK OWEN / THE BREEZE would take for him to “go down on a guy.” There was a bright side to this fallen star of On Wednesday, local vendors from the Harrisonburg Farmers Market gathered on the Warren Patio from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to sell their goods a segment, though.

in the NFL lineup as, “The wife who hit him back,” and in one line, made the whole sketch worthwhile. It makes me wonder: why is she behind the scenes? Her perspective as a female woman of color would be a bonus, especially since featured player and University of Virginia alumna Sasheer Zamata has yet to prove herself on air. Overall I fear for the segment, and really the whole show in general. But why is this happening? When did we go from a solid cast of geniuses to a weekday Laugh Factory lineup? One glaring issue is casting. Swapping out a third of the players after each season doesn’t seem like a foolproof plan to me, but then again, who am I? I’m only one of the show’s few remaining followers in the millennial generation, a.k.a. the driving force for modern television. But that’s fine, don’t listen to me. Or anyone for that matter. The biggest issue, however, is the lack of character in recent casts. Huge eras of personality stand out to anyone who’s at least mildly familiar with the franchise. Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin became comedy gods and goddesses when they ushered in the show’s first few seasons. Most comedians today reference them as inspirations, and many of their sketches are still relevant 40 years later. Who doesn’t know Aykroyd and Martin’s “two wild and craaaaazy guys?” Casts in the ’80s that included Mike Myers, Chris Farley, David Spade and Julia Louis-Dreyfus brought SNL into the mainstream, making it an “American Idol” of its time — something that friends and family got together to enjoy. Skits like “Living in a VAN down by the RIVER” are beyond iconic, and others, like “Wayne’s World,” became successful feature films. Then came the ladies. Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, JAMES CHUNG / THE BREEZE Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch and countless others solidified this show’s place in history.
