confused professors
Welcome to Duke, eager band of high schoolers and helicopter parents! I will be your tour guide this afternoon. We’re so glad you’re visiting in November when exactly 12% of the student population feels something resembling happiness. Take a look around. Underneath every Patagonia jacket you see is the shell of a human, whimpering, Vitamin-D deficient, and in need of Thanksgiving break. Until now, you have been blissfully unaware of this widespread anguish because our spiraling mental health is the one Countdown to Craziness Duke won’t make a hype video for. So follow me, and I’ll give you an honest tour of the Gothic Wonderland.

| All students required to purchase newest edition of textbook, even though it will only be used a few times over the course of the semester.

Every day before work, I go to the Starbucks near my office and purchase a small black coffee. I tell them my name, and every single time without fail I get back my coffee with the name “Saladin” written on it. My name isn’t Saladin, it’s Sam. The first time this happened I wrote it off as a mistake. It is entirely plausible that the barista confused my name with the famed 12th century Arabian sultan Saladin, but the sixth or seventh time it happened I realized something was up.
As November passes us by, the days have grown shorter, the weather colder, and the lattes have turned from pumpkin spice to peppermint. This year is special though. We are lucky enough to witness the emergence above-ground of Trump supporters from their respective frats.
White male professors everywhere have taken the past two weeks to recover from cases of extreme bewilderment. Their debilitating confusion first struck after the sharp increase in absences on the day following the election of a literal fascist.
