Did anyone notice that all the wespeaks in the last issue of the Argus were about the recent dining-options hubbub? I for one have heard enough from both sides of the issue, and at this point have become completely apathetic. Someone needs to write about something else. Autumn, for example. Or the weather. Even though I am partially colorblind, I can still appreciate the beauty of that tree in front of North College. You know the one. Its red-orange boughs extending to all sides of campus, it does not care one bit about dining options. It only cares about stretching towards the dwindling sunlight of late afternoons.
Sure, it’s great to take a stand. But isn’t it tiring sometimes? Sometimes we all need to just sit in the sun, play catch, drink lemonade, and watch the trees. Sometimes we need to be children again, able to sleep unworried in the backseats of our parents’ cars and forget about unions, politics, battery eggs, and whatever else might be troubling our consciences. It is a beautiful day outside, so be like the autumn trees and just go lie in the sun. I am.
