Considering that this is a college setting, one might expect April Fools Day to be something the students look forward to.At Houghton, this is not the case.
Here, there is a general air of laziness when it comes to April Fools- a general feeling of "Yeah, I didn't do anything myself but I heard this one dude..." that fills the cafeteria like a bad smell. In general, a few pranks will happen (usually someones clothes will be stolen) but otherwise students prefer to laugh about other people's pranks than participate themselves.
Really, its come to be expected. Houghtians have adopted the slogan of "We work hard and we study hard!".
Playing hard- even just once in a while- doesn't really come into the picture.
For some, of course, this is understandable- not everyone has the time or means. In general though, the majority of students could do something for a change. Even if it's just covering a dormmate's door with with post-it notes or serenading (in a foreign language) some random girl, pranks can- no- must be preformed. Everyone has to pull their weight to make Houghton fun.

ReplyDeleteYeah I think every man needs to serenade a woman in a foreign language every once in awhile. It's healthy and helps prevent cancer!
