Merry Winter
December 23, 2014
First semester has ended and all the finals are finished, so I’m going to make this column short.
As you anxiously await the scores to hit Infinite Campus, remember to enjoy the holiday season. But to do so, you have to be a decent person.
Try not to offend hoards of people and say “Merry Winter” instead of “Merry Christmas” or something of the like.
Help your parents prepare for family events.
Don’t avoid your friends to get an extra hour of sleep.
Don’t punch any family members while you open gifts.
Stop screaming at people at customer service and instead thank them for working during that stressful time in retail.
Give people “holiday high-fives” rather than death glares.
Tip your barista who is working Christmas Eve (hint hint: that’s me.)
And most importantly, change your twitter icon to a picture of Baby Grinch to help Troy Ikeda with his #BabyGrinchMovement.
So Merry Winter everybody. See you next semester.
