Where is Outfly?

Where is Outfly?
Wartburg Circuit

It's the magical time of year on Wartburg's campus where Fall Term in in full effect.

This means crunchy leaves, coffees, stressed-out students, and... Outfly predictions.

For those of you that don't know, Outfly is a day picked by the student body president and the president of the college. On that day, Orientation Staff wakes up everybody at like 6 AM to go to the victory bell. And if enough of the student body is there, then it's Outfly!

That means there's no classes on that day. Teacher's serve breakfast, there's games on the lawn, inflatables, a movie, and tons of other activities.

Other things happen too, like lots of naps. And the tattoo parlour has discounts on tattoos (I have 2).

Each year has a theme too. In the past there has been Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Survivor, Marvel,... the list goes on. The team puts out 3 posters that "tease" the theme. This year is really hard and I haven't heard a decent guess yet.

So Outfly is just this amazing things that students always look forward to in the fall. It's a great game to try to guess when it is.

This year, my guess is October 19th. This week has big event, next week is homecoming, and then it must be Outfly because the week after is Fall Break then it's getting to be too late.

No matter when it is, it needs to be soon. You can feel the campus-wide need for it. People are tweeting about it, people are saying it. There's just kinda an Outfly mood on campus.

Really I just want to know the theme, because I really hate not knowing.

So dear Outfly, where are you? We're waiting some-what patiently.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
