Good to see you, First_Name.
Welcome back, Macaulay!!! ✏️📚
Did you miss us? You don't have to answer that—we know you did! Welcome back to another glorious (subjective) school year! Tis' nothing sweeter than September: the month where you're able to hear the dulcet tunes of blaring 5 a.m. alarms, smell the roses on the way to your pleasant (euphemism) 8 a.m. classes, and discover just how much coffee a human can consume before morphing into a sentient espresso bean. Ah yes, the crisp autumn air, the fresh pages of notebooks, and the gentle reminder that your social life is about to be as lively as the library at midnight. But hey, who needs sleep when you've got syllabi to read, and deadlines to pretend don’t exist? So, dust off those backpacks, sharpen those pencils (or find that one pen you haven’t lost yet), and let’s make this semester one for the books—literally because there will be books. Lots of them. We'd tell you to take it easy and that B's get degrees, but you're in Macaulay, so we don't want to confuse you with foreign dialogue just yet...Now, welcome back, and remember: caffeine is your friend, and so are we… probably.
From 67th, with love,
MSC ;)
