A 10-page essay? College is supposed to be fun (!) and similar sentiments were heard echoing throughout the Union this past Friday. Apparently for Kristy Krean ‘28, her entire first semester at Davidson had been such a breeze, she wasn’t aware that classes were even supposed to have assignments. “If I have trivia on Wednesday, I’m getting kicked out of Brickhouse for having a fake ID on Thursday, spending all night at F on Friday, and then Pit Party on Saturday, I just don’t understand how professors expect us to have time to do homework. I’m not paying $90,000 a year to have to go to school.” Krean informed us that her first semester included classes such as ART 120: Intro to Crochet, COM 208: How to Look Cool on Instagram, and SOC 113: Taylor Swift and Society. Now that she is moving on to harder classes like WRI 101: Analysis of “The Backyardigans,” she is surprised at the harder workload. 

Krean’s sentiments were shared by fellow first-year Duncan D’nut ‘28. “Everyone knows spring is rushing season. I’m secretly pledging 3 separate frats, and it’s all getting really overwhelming. Obviously, professors should know better than to give stupid assignments. Like, do they know what college is even for?” When asked to comment on D’nut’s performance in class, one of his professors claimed D’nut has already missed enough classes to constitute a failing grade, but she has not told him in the hopes that he continues to attend some class and learn something.
