13 Questions We Have For Colgate University

13 Questions We Have For Colgate University
Colgate

As the deliberate, professional journalists that are so characteristic of Odyssey, elite members of the Colgate Odyssquad, Julia Cooper and Patrick Toohey have been commissioned to ask Colgate University the tough questions. Thirteen of them, to be exact -- no particular reasoning accompanies that quantity, it was simply the number of questions they had.

Their hope is that the university administration will respond to these pressing inquiries with urgency and honesty (perhaps inviting our brilliant Creators to partake in another campus improvement committee) so that we can all feel more informed and comfortable taking on the 2017 Spring Semester.

1. Does a University-wide dress code exist?

I was never informed of one, but it seems a vast majority of the students are wearing slight variations of the same 3 outfits.

2. Where’s the honey mustard?

The world needs to know. Or at least this Twitter account.

3. Why does no one west of Virginia or south of the Mason-Dixon line know this school exists?

I got about 50 mail ads about Colgate University in high school, so why do all my friends still think I went to work at a toothpaste factory instead of attend a college?

4. What ethnicity is the Raider?

Wikipedia says he used to be Native American, and now he’s…undead?

5. Do any real, human people work at ResLife?

Perhaps the zombies that infected Raider have taken up residence underneath Drake Hall.


6. How much was Paul Rudolph paid for the design of the Dana Arts Center?

Are we sure it wasn't designed by M. C. Escher?

If it was any more than $0, you need to reevaluate your architecture budget.

7. Have we isolated the virus that causes regular outbreaks of the Colgate plague?

Finding a vaccine should be a top priority of the health center.

8. How much of the annual budget is allocated to hush money for The Jug?

Can the “Student Activity Fee” be paid in increments of $5?


9. Is the Colgate Hello an urban legend?

It seems about as commonly sighted as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.


10. How many students get frostbite annually?

Based on the administration’s refusal to cancel classes and the regular barrage of emails warning us against the dangers of exposing our skin to the elements, I’d guess roughly “a lot.”


11. Where do you keep the monkey that writes the 500 daily Career Services emails?

Is it receiving proper care? #CareerServicesDidHarambe

12. Has a Cruiser® driver ever assaulted a passenger?

Was this photo taken in Andrews on a Monday night or what?

They don’t seem too fond of all the inebriated teenagers scream-singing The Chainsmokers. Heaven knows why.

13. Is the campus officially sponsored by Keystone Light?

Because based on this swill's prevalence across our keg-less campus, that must be an incredibly lucrative endorsement.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
