Hello, I was thinking it would be cool to stare at the stars for a bit Saturday night. We’ll meet on the corner of Echols and mosey on up to Ohill observatory, if there’s too much light there we can walk down to a clearing I know of and hopefully get a tree-free view. The end time isn’t a hard …

Hello hello! Before I get any further into this trip description, I am forcing you to read this stargazing joke that I think is funny.

Ok so now we can talk about this trip. It’s just …
I don’t know about you, but I think my two weeks of solitude have showed me life’s true values: laughing with a real live human, bathing ourselves in the sun’s first rays, and moving through the air in a vertical motion. And Thursday morning is shaping up to be the PERFECT time to engage in these fundamental pursuits. Come join …
Let’s try this again!!!! As the experienced third semester zoom school student that I am, I have found that the pinnacle to my success starts with early mornings in which my face is enlightened by the sun the second it creeps over the horizon line. Whether this be in the form of a run, wandering around my room to water …

before we begin, i’m going to ask you to take a moment and relive one of our generation’s shared traumas. for just a second, imagine you are back in that Chuck-E-Cheese adventure tube, looking down at your parental figure/older sibling/babysitter as they completely ignore your cries from help in the slide where you genuinely believe you are stuck. it’s okay, …
So last week I claimed that I wouldn’t run out of slackline puns. As the typical disappointment that I am, I am sad to report that I have already met my threshold of slackline puns. I would like to formally apologize to each member of the club for the lies I told and for the mediocre slacklining trip names that …
What better way to slack off of our dear Zoom university than near some trees, at sunset and with some good company? None. School is hard, being outside makes us happy, so let’s go slacklining. I need some people to make me keep slackin’ and doing headstands so let’s just keep doing slackline trips until I run out of slack …
