Describing her own crippling dependence on heating and cooling systems, Stacy Cohen, mother of incoming first-year, Bryan Cohen (‘19), expressed deep-rooted concern for her son’s microfridge delivery.

“When will it come? Is it coming soon? Do we have to pick it up? Is it a full microwave and a full fridge or a half-and-half sort of deal? It’s a half-and-half sort of deal, isn’t it? That’s ridiculous. That just won’t work.”

The Office of Residential Life and Housing has assured Cohen that her son’s microfridge needs will be accommodated. Still, Cohen continues to voice her concerns.

“Will the microfridge provide ample storage for both frozen and non-frozen items? If he were to purchase a frozen pizza, or the ingredients for choucroute garnie, rosbif a l’alsacienne, kig ha farz, gratin dauphinois, or tater tot hotdish, would he have enough room?”

The Office of Residential Life and Housing proceeded to refer Cohen to RateMyMicrofridge.com. Cohen told The Freudian Slip that, upon further research, she plans to order two different microfridge models and a spillover cooler, just in case.

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.."
