Love is in The Air?
Wrong! 344 AQI!
If there’s something that everybody on this campus can bond over, it’s hunger and urgency, especially when it's hard to see a foot in front of you! Luckily enough for you, dear reader, Kalinga’s got your back! We have compiled a non-exhaustive list of everything you can do while waiting in line for mess food. Here it is, in no particular order:
(Up) Standing, Low-Effort Activism
- If there’s one skill that every Ashokan cannot leave without developing, whether by choice or not, it’s this: emailing the entire student body! But dedicated drafting time is hard to find, because even when it’s not nearing finals, the average Ashokan schedule is packed as tightly as the plastic covering the mess puts on delivered food. So get ready to unleash your perfect “sincere request to the administration to move classes online” to students [at] ashoka [dot] edu [dot] in!
Critically Analyse Your Hinge Matches
- Whether you’re feeling as touch starved as the snack papayas or still looking for ways to recover from the Guy who Ruined Your Life at 19, it’s safe to say that, regardless of whatever conclusion you came to in your Mind and Behaviour midterm essay, we’re all in a sizeable state of want. Why not speed up the process of finding your soulmate in your vicinity and at the same time, refine your critical judgement skills as well? Make it a group activity! Outsource your labour (of love)!
Just Do Your Readings
We all know the experience of a class without having done the reading. Cold calling is increasing in popularity, and nobody is immune to the dreaded public humiliation of those 10:10 fumbles. Bad decisions are always encouraged in collegiate environments but do you really want to miss out on the public display of your own academic weaponry?
Shower (Notes App) Thoughts
Often, a college day can feel like it’s going to slip away before it’s even begun. Things open. Things shut. Things are temporary. Things go wrong. (The sprinkler timings may not always be conducive to one’s Main Character Moments™.) One might need Thing at specific point of time. How to combat this? The classic! Make List. Edit List. Plan out Day. So even if said Day goes wrong, it might not feel that way.
Speed Friending
- There’s nothing like finding solace over relatability. (Why did YOU click on this article?) And what’s more relatable than the pursuit of inexpensive, readily available, hot food? One can easily engage in the art of friend- making, new (old) mess table arrangement be damned. Start a conversation with the person in front of you! Starters can include anything from Oh Are You The Guy In My 4:40 DS to the classic How Does That Taste? Benefits include Harassing Seniors for Information Privilege (don’t you want those clubs and societies?) and Harassing Juniors for Gossip Privilege! Enjoy responsibly. Or not, we’re just here for the drama.
