In a ‘column’ about college stereotypes, sometimes it’s hard to figure out if statements are completely true. Luckily, the stereotypes at Fairfield are often reality.

Hopefully no FOGs* have been harmed in the writing of this column, or bros, former residents of the Dugout, guidos, chronic ‘where u at’ texters, platonic lunch dates, people who live every day like it’s 4/20 and beach patrollers.

Frankly, becoming the She Said during the last semester of college has allowed me to creatively reflect on the Fairfield experience. That being said, you shouldn’t take these umbrella comments seriously. The Coffee Break section of the paper is a. ridiculous, b. controversial, c. the reason some students read the paper, or d. all of the above.**

So, Mirror editors, keep it that way. I hope next year’s selections can write with the appropriate voice. Though not really ‘journalism,’ it’s fun to read opinions about the disproportionate ratio of hot girls to hot guys here and warnings to underclassmen about FGTGs, or freshmen girl target groups (i.e. the Gator).

It’s challenging to write the She Said when your counterpart columnist hates on college with a peace sign. Light-hearted digs aside, Josh is a good writer and is pretty witty in his own way. Last year’s act was hard to follow and I think that he deserves credit for putting up with a lot of haters. Advice to the successor: If you can’t handle ‘Aren’t you She Said?’ comments, or suspicion that conversations with you will end up in print and original 300+ word articles about somewhat loaded topics, then don’t apply for this position. Otherwise, know the truth makes the best story and have fun with it.’ ‘

If you are currently a freshman, I hate you. On that note, I also hate the sophomores and juniors.’ FYL***; I envy you, and dislike that next year I’ll have to read the Mirror online and think that although Fairfield gets smaller as the years go on, I’d rather do it all again than wait for the reunion.’
