THESISPARTY 2016: Time to Get Drvnk!!

View post on imgur.com

It’s all over, and I’m soaked with Andre. All theses are now turned in as of 4PM, and we’re fucking stoked. The sun came out right as thesis writers and friends gathered on the steps of Olin. Thesis writers are probs making any excuse to drink, and after doing 9 sets of THESISCRAZY interviews we’re tryna as well tbh.

Adhering to tradition, seniors on the steps counted down until the 4PM deadline, supported by 100 or so other folks watching below. Bottles were popped, the fight song was sung, you wish you were there, Wes is lit.

Congrats to all the thesis writers! See some pics from the day’s festivities:

THESISCRAZY 2016 (Part 9): Welcome to the Afterlife

“So I imagine that day on the steps to be white-washed with the sun, and everybody that you ever cared about or loved, gathered, so it’d be like heaven, reuniting with your dead grandma kind of feeling. … Kind of, it’s like entry into the afterlife, the afterlife of Wesleyan.”

sheep and horse Welcome to the final installment of THESISCRAZY 2016, the series where we interview seniors who have spent a wild amount of time working on extremely specific topics. All of these interviews were conducted between March 31st and April 2nd, but aren’t getting posted until now, after theses are due, because I, hopefully unlike most thesis writers, left things to the very last minute. Let’s hope this is not an indication of how the thesis I may or may not write will play out. Check out read parts one through eight of this year’s installment here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. And THESISCRAZY archives are here. And be on the look out for pictures from the Olin steps soon!

THESISCRAZY 2016 (Part 7): I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside

“This morning I woke up and put toothpaste on the wrong side of my toothbrush, and continued brushing with that wrong side of the toothbrush.”

My my, this is our 7th THESISCRAZY 2016 feature (#RECORD). Here’s the gist y’all: Every year we interview humans who sometimes populate the (ethereal?) space of 4th floor Olin, writing theses and such. We ask thesis writers about poops and other things. Catch this part, this part, this part, this part, this part, and this part, and all the old ones from previous years.

Part 7, here we come. Prepare yeselves for top-spinning masters, incorrect toothbrushing, and the Lonely Island’s fave champagne:

Hello, hello and welcome to the first installment of THESISCRAZY 2016.
