HALIFAX, NS— Andy Dryer, a second-year business student, set an unusual new year’s resolution, along with some of his classmates. While many approach the new year with a “new and improved” attitude, Dryer and co. proposed an “old and deteriorating” approach for this year.
The idea is for this term, they will do the absolute worst that they can in their courses and study sessions so they can have the absolute best academic comeback by the time they finish their degrees.
Sources have told The Mackerel that Dryer lacks knowledge of the academic standing and probation terms that Dalhousie University has for students. Dryer looks forward to his next term where he’ll “study for real,” and work on his academic standing, but for now, “winter term is for fun!”
In a statement to The Mackerel, Hunter Dung revealed that not everyone is on board with Dryer’s plan. “I think he really misinterpreted when everyone was saying they would be on the come-up this year. To be honest, I think the only person who was on board was Carson Prentiss, and that’s because his new year’s resolution was to flunk out of university. I don’t know if [Dryer] knows, or if anyone has the heart to tell him,” Dung said.
