How to be an Alumnus/Alumna
Thursday, May 6th, 2010Don’t use the word alumni as a singular noun
So you’re a member of the alumni association. That’s cool, but there’s only one of you, almost like some sort of magical snow flake. But guess what, snow flake, alumni is a plural noun, so you’re an alumnus or an alumna. Pick one of those two and stick to it.
Fight Ohio State Students
So the professional world is legally required to say they “frown upon pugilism.” Of course, the real world doesn’t know what “pugilism” means, so you need to get shithoused and kick the shit out of every one of those Ohio State Alumni. In the work place. While drunk.
Eat Pizza at 3 A.M.
I know, I know, it’s not quite Canyon and for that I’m eternally sorry. But medical science has proven that pizza is the one and only thing that can prevent a hangover. Anything less and your headaches will be splitting and your vomit will be everywhere.
Visit, Dammit
Those tickets on Craigslist are $300 for a reason. Because you throw way too much money to see our quarterback throw the ball to the wrong team. However, that money is necessary for Phroth to buy our books (beer) so please keep buying those tickets.
Shout “WE ARE!”
Part of you is probably saying, “But this isn’t Beaver Canyon, no one will know what I’m talking about.” Another part of you is already shaping your lips to cry out the “we.” We’re pretty sure we have a psychobiology major on staff, and he or she says the first part of your brain is insane. I mean come on, the “b” sound and the “w” sound aren’t even close together. Your rational brain needs to get with it.
Get a job
Just kidding. Graduate school is your best bet.
