In This Article:

We all see the rotating dish trays in the PIT and SPIT, but do we really understand how they work. In this article, I hope to explain, step by step, how the process of getting that thing to turn works. I hope you leave informed and a little more ~ w o k e ~ about the topic.

1. Buy the aardvarks.

Every year, dining services has to buy aardvarks to run on the wheels under Awakening (https://www.theodysseyonline.com/stop-the-oreo-2018). The wheels have ants in front that the aarvarks think they are running toward.They supply the power, but the power to what?

2. Power the anti-gravity machines under the dining halls.

This is gonna sound weird, but see 3. for context

3. Hire the cyclists.

So basically, we hire cyclists to ride on upside-down spin cycles that are attached to belts. These belts...

4. Turn the treadmill belts.

Yes. The cyclists power the treadmills, this may seem like an unnecessary buffer, but Villanova loves to create jobs for people who are looking! On these treadmills run the chefs. This will make sense later (step 5.)

5. Fill the spray bottles with rotting fruit juice.

Every step the chefs take on the treadmill sprays a little bit of rotting fruit juice on the dish trays on the turnstile.

6. Hire people who hate flies.

As the fruit juice is sprayed, it attracts flies. SO, we have people stand behind the tray turnstiles that can't stand flies, they swat at them and in turn, turn the trays (pun intended).

See, it's not that hard to understand. I hope now, you can look at those trays spinning around and say "wow, I'm so ~ w o k e ~ about those now! Let me know what else you want explanations to, and I will definitely answer with an article explaining it

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
