The Daily’s second good article.

The Iowa State Daily has never been known for its ace reporting, or informed editorials. But every now and then (when the alignment of certain planets is just-so) there is a hillarious opinion column. Today was the second good one I’ve ever seen.

Forget Orientation, this is real freshmen advice.

Some highlights:

If you find that your clothes smell bad for whatever reason pour a half a bottle of Febreze into your laundry hamper and stir it around with a broom handle. That should help.

Nevermind that fabreeze wasn’t invented until my junior year…

Never forget that you are in college to learn. Learning is your biggest priority during your time here at Iowa State, and your thirst for newly acquired knowledge shouldn’t just be quenched by classes. This is a school of discovery, so go out invent elaborate and highly technical dorm room pranks.

Like pouring 40 gallons of water down the elevator from the 9th floor of Towers. Brilliant, guys.

And last but certainly not least:

And by the way, that goddess that sits by you in Chem 177 is high maintenance. Run screaming in the opposite direction.

Amen, brother. Amen.

   dude, febreeze…it’s already saved me like $5 in laundry costs and it’s only the first week of school.

   that WAS an insightful article.
