most of a myspace mesage to raychel, and a little bit added

in pretty sweet news, psi u has been totally destroyed by a vengeful school. they took away our house, probably will take away our charter, and are making most of us take drug and alcohol classes (hopefully i will evade this via being overseas at the time the decision was handed down). and my good friend ben might be going to jail for a while.

i think we both agree that old psiu was far from perfect (maybe even being actively mediocre). however, i think you neglect the fact that we were progressively changing it with an infusion of a lot of new people and attitudes with them. consider, for instance, that we were discussing a philanthropy with the meridian. just as that would never have happened with old psiu, so some stuff that happened then, such as the bag of trash, could never happen now (or rather in the immediate past, obviously nothing of any kind can happen now).

I think this discussion should be made friends-only simply because the admin reads this shit and it ain't the forum for discussing drug use.

Old Psi U was all about being nerd rockstars.

New Psi U seems to have forgotten the "nerd" part (i.e. get drunk AND do your homework) and just fast-forwarded to the part in the "Behind the Music" where the soundtrack turns somber and they discuss the "dark times". Old Psi U also had a house on the row, and thus the critical mass of rockstardom, balanced out by people like Lance and Ostrum and people like Evan who pulled Phi Beta Kappa.

You can be a rockstar (drugs and booze included) without being a total fuckup.

wow thats really funny and sad and true. (except, really, what rock star is not a fuckup?) answer: make a movie about the rise and fall of psi u that inspires someone to... jeeze, i dont even know. it would probably only validate admin, nay, american collegiate master plans to make all college students cogs in the great outsourcing machine! i think the only solution is probably hampshire college, mars, or bolivia.
