The Water Cooler
27.01.10
Ladies and gentleman, I’ve got three words for you — Happy New Year. I hope everybody out there who actually wastes a moment of their life reading this had a great one.
Mine was okay, but the rumors circulating around the Ocean campus about whether the Cooler was coming back caused me to develop a case of insomnia. With a full load of classes, being sleep deprived is not one of my goals.
After having many heated discussions on whether the Water Cooler should return to The Guardsman, I finally bribed newly appointed editor-in-chief Alex Emslie into giving me five more months of fame.
Although I didn’t put this on my list of New Year resolutions, the Cooler has been filled with the coldest water yet to be served. I’ll be here with you all for the next five months, going through the stress of exams as well as watching the beautiful flowers blossom this spring.
Oh yeah, and I’ll continue to talk about that thing we call sports. I’ll try my best to quench your thirst this semester.
