Following weeks of anticipation and countless event notifications, first-year student Lindsey Carter confirmed that International Gala 2015 blew her away. “Wow. That’s all I can say, wow. Wow,” said Carter.

An intended International Development and Social Change major from Cheshire, Connecticut, Carter claims to be one of the select few that truly appreciate the cultural fusion that is International Gala. “I think it’s like super amazing how Mexico and the United States were able to overcome their border issues and just dance about it,” Carter told The Freudian Slip. “Still, if my one IDSC class has taught me anything, it’s that we need to change things locally in order to change things globally.” She poses the question, “How can we truly fix the Middle East if New York still has beef with New Jersey?”

Carter is currently in the process of starting a National Students Association on campus. She will pursue her idea for ‘National Gala’ once the club receives funding, noting the invaluable benefits it will bring to the Clark community and beyond.

When asked to comment, Ellie Madoula, a member of International Students Association, told The Freudian Slip, “I don’t know where this bitch thinks she’s going to get all this money. We literally have all of it.”

Carter claims that National Gala could be even bigger and better and longer than International Gala, with representation from all 50 states and U.S. territories. “Even Delaware can perform, I guess.”

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
