Pathetic Student Eats Alone

Emotionally exhausted from a morning of forced socializing and AlcoholEdu workshops, first-year student Calvin Young (’19) decided to eat lunch by himself.

Young told The Freudian Slip, “I just needed some alone time. I thought it would be nice to listen to my iPod and read the next few chapters of my book.”

Unfortunately for Young, he failed to realize just how absolutely pathetic he looked without a lunch buddy.

Young’s roommate and self-proclaimed ‘bro,’ Ty Johnson (’19), expressed concern for Young’s social reputation. “Calvin is a really cool guy, but people would never know by the way he’s eating. I asked him if he wanted to join my buddies and me for lunch, but he politely declined. Doesn’t he know he’s embarrassing himself?”

Johnson promptly returned to eating lunch at the two large round tables that he and his friends pushed together, because they are so gosh darn cool.

When asked to comment, Young replied, “I guess I don’t see what the big deal is. Is it a crime to eat one meal alone?”

University Police later confirmed that it is a crime to eat one meal alone due to its unlawfully pathetic nature. Officer Densky told The Freudian Slip, “Studies have shown that eating one meal alone is a gateway to lying by yourself on the green in broad daylight and having no friends whatsoever.”

Young is currently facing psychiatric arrest. If found guilty, he may be charged with a $200 fine and up to two years in a student club he couldn’t give two shits about.

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.."
