Cornell Slope Day Bingo: Where the Center Square is “Paying $25 to Never Stop Drinking”
Cornell Slope Day is a-comin’! Are your 40s and your barf bags ready? A Cornell student blog gives us the heads-up on precisely what to expect, in handy bingo form!: “Tik Tok” played constantly, “awkward encounters” (oh, gee, I hardly think this is specific to Slope Day — can the era of using “awkward encounters” to signify “college events” pass, already?), “some guy named ‘Trent’ or ‘Chip.’” As that last one signifies, this mainly seems like it could have been written by someone outside Cornell — are the stereotypes we believe about Cornell believed even by Cornell students? Could they even be true?
Then again, some of these are so impenetrable that we find ourselves wishing we could go to Slope Day, just to figure out this bingo-themed charticle on a blog. “You hear someone yell ‘I hate these fucking caterpillars!’” Huh? Ithaca has caterpillars? Maybe we’re just as happy not to!
