SAFETY WARNING: Clark University student Olivia Logan (’19) was found frozen in an icicle under a pile of fleece blankets on the morning of Monday, February 8th. Logan -- originally from Los Angeles, CA -- was gleefully posting on her Facebook page the night before Clark experienced its first major snowfall of second semester. Logan updated her Snapchat (@cali.dreamin) several times over the course of the night. Several grainy black and white pictures surfaced, followed by a video of falling snow accompanied b

y an ear splitting scream for the duration of the video.

Further examination of Logan’s Instagram account (@lagurl96) revealed numerous pictures of expensive North Face products and a pair of Timberland boots, presumably received by Logan for Christmas. This lead The Freudian Slip and Logan’s 3782 followers to believe that the SoCal beach bunny was prepared for a 50 degree temperature difference. However, recent events have shown this not to be the case.

Logan is currently being defrosted at UMass Memorial Hospital. Readers can donate financially via her GoFundMe account (Help Olivia Play At the Beach Again). Physical donations are accepted in the form of a blanket drive outside of room 206, Wright Hall, for Logan’s use when she returns to campus. Virtually, readers can donate by following her Instagram account to improve her follower ratio.

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.."
