An Obituary
John Lallo

John Lallo, 21, died on January 11, 2017 painfully of old age, despite having requested euthanasia every year since his eleventh birthday. He was surrounded by his family member and loved one who accompanied him via facetime in his final moments. John was born on the 8th of August, 1995. He is survived by his younger brother and his own ghost, which can be seen roaming the aisles of abandoned Blockbusters Monday through Thursday. His spirit is temporarily bound to this plain due to ongoing litigation regarding an overdue copy of Microwave Ramen for Dummies.

He worked as a failed writer, providing for no one other than himself, and contributing nothing of value in his time. He is most notably remembered for coining the phrase ‘I’d rather not’, which were coincidentally also his final words, said in response to being asked if he would like to be quoted for final words. Among his favorite hobbies were watching footage of people taking long walks on the beach and practicing his laugh in the mirror. In May of 2009 he suffered a sprained optic nerve after rolling his eyes too hard.

Family and friend are invited to attend Inkwell Coffeehouse in Long Branch NJ, where his ashes will be ‘scattered among the hippies’, as per his last request. He also asked that a mariachi band play during this moment or, alternatively, that anyone with broken English and/or a severe speech impediment attempt to sing ‘The Sound of Silence’.

His will, as has been made public, leaves the control of his remaining social media accounts to the Johnnie Walker estate for their many contributions to his career. His wardrobe is to be auctioned off and ‘burned before it ever goes to Goodwill’. The hot sauce, book, and record collections he amassed in his last years are to be destroyed along with his remains. Scorned lovers are encouraged to join.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
