Brothers and Sisters, gather around, I shall be brief. Turn down your summer songs of celebration and join me in angry fist pumping punk rock.

OCL
Issue 1:
I’m a legit junior at the time of housing selection for next year. I was put in the Sophmore lottery. WHAT THE FUCK! I can’t share a room with my lifestyle of loud music, late nights, and smoking. I got stuck in the last available single on campus. This means that some fucking sophmore who caught the luck of the draw has legit gotten a better room than I have. And that just ain’t fair. I’ll be kicking off the second half of my junior year and the beginning of my senior year in the same dorm I lived in the previous year. Not too mention that this summer I’m also living in the same room I’ve lived in for the past two semesters. A little upgrade or change of living conditions would have been nice. Especially since I went down to Trish’s office to ask about maybe getting this taken care of. But as we all know, OCL is useless in assisting students. Trish was too busy assigning rooms to summer residents to talk to a summer resident. So useless, that it brings me to my next point.

why does this school spam everyone so much? we get 15-25 emails a day, and like 95% of the time, its either from benny belvin the intern idiot, or from some organization you dont belong to. what do you think schools do when they have 25,000 students and over 500 clubs and organizations? THEY CONSOLDATE ANNOUNCEMENTS! all you need is for one person on SGA (perhaps vp of communications or whatever) to have all the emails and announcements sent to at the beginning of the week. They make an email with all the shit thats goin down that week, and people can check their section to see if anythings happening. this would take about 45 minutes out of the VP’s week, and we wouldnt have to sit here and wear down the delete key from finger blasting the shit out of it.

was on campus one Saturday night as part of our “Spring Weekend” (a few weeks ago.)  I was quite pleased with the performance. (If I had to choose the top two fun Babson events, I’d say comedians and the BDE performances. If I was allowed to choose three fun events, well, it might take me a while to think of a third…)

So yes, one good thing about Babson on here.

But what I wanted to mention is one of Kyle’s jokes on college life. It went something like this…

Colleges tell you not to drink, do drugs, or have sex. Then they put the college in some random town that’s not near anything… What do they expect? “What should I do tonight? My choices are Wal-Mart, or Susie…”

Yeah, that reminded me of Babson. What’s worse is that there isn’t even a Wal-Mart in Wellesley to go screw around in. So it looks like drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having sex, and all that good stuff is it…

As you probably read in an earlier entry, there was a funny comment on our myspace page from a grad student who is missing out on all the fun ugrad activities.

I also want to let you in on a nice message I received from an alum who likes Babson:

First off I want to applaud you for your entrepreneurial spririt. You can “Crap” on Babson all you want, however, it has given you the tools to create your little business. Also, as a proud Alum I would tell you that I did NOT go to Babson to have fun (although I had more than enough). I chose Babson because of its strong academic/real world experience core to help prepare me for the rigors of the real cut throat business world. It did exactly that and I would challenge you to focus your energy on those individuals who have obtained a complete tool box of methodologies, principals and insights into how to achieve success in business and in life.

Although I do appreciate your efforts and the spirit that is behind them, I cannot accept your invitation to be your friend. Opinions are exactly that and I will not have my name attached to Babson in any other way than that which sheds a positive light and exemplifies the prestige of the school. I feel your intentions are to discredit not only Babson, but the institution of higher education portraying to potential students that College in about having fun and not preparing for the future.

And I responded, of course…
