HOSTING AN ANNUAL PUN BATTLE JUDGED BY PROFESSORS.
Follow us for more dives into campus lore!
Remember the electric tension in that common room? The hushed anticipation before a particularly daring pun was delivered, then the explosive laughter or the collective groan. And who could forget the professors, usually dissecting Plato or quantum physics, meticulously judging each wordplay with the gravitas of a Supreme Court justice? This wasn't just a fun evening; it was our annual pun battle, a quintessential part of the quirky, often absurd, club, dorm, and departmental rituals that defined our time.
From the infamous Primal Scream that (briefly) emptied libraries during finals week, to the more obscure initiation rites of certain societies, our campuses were mosaics of these unique traditions. They were the unofficial curriculum, shaping our friendships and our understanding of community. Sometimes these rituals were intensely loved, bringing us together in shared silliness or profound connection. Other times, they were endured with a mix of bemusement and obligation, perhaps even a touch of "hated" dread. Yet, whether we embraced them wholeheartedly or secretly rolled our eyes, they formed the indelible backdrop to our academic pursuits. These small, often strange, moments woven into the fabric of daily life are what truly stick, creating memories that are distinctively ours, long after the lectures have faded.
