Following the Admitted Student Open House on April 12th, Nancy Richardson, the mother of a prospective student from New Britain, CT, posted a Facebook status claiming that she fully understands what LEEP is. The status, which was posted right when Mrs. Richardson got home, read as follows:

Mrs. Richardson attended both information sessions about LEEP led by Michelle Bata, Director of the LEEP center. Bata confirmed that both information sessions are identical in content and are only duplicated for ease of scheduling in the busy day. When asked why she attended both sessions, Mrs. Richardson replied, “It was just so fascinating, and now I’m really confident I’ve figured it out.” Mrs. Richardson’s daughter, Chelsea, a senior at a New Britain High School, told The Freudian Slip, “I really still have no idea what the [expletive] LEEP is.” When asked to explain what she believes LEEP to be, Mrs. Richardson declined to comment.

It is not yet known how Mrs. Richardson came to this understanding of LEEP. It is suspected that Cindy Nelson (the top commenter, also of New Britain, CT) is a co-conspirator. The matter is being investigated by University Police.

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.."
