There was an email war?

So, apparently there was an email war during break.

I know I should be informed about this, since it was sent to everyone with a Wabash e-mail, but I didn’t see this. I check my emails regularly, but this email war just didn’t catch my eye (and that’s probably not exclusive to me; it didn’t seem incredibly long, like the last email war). So I got to thinking; what’s so different about this one that no one really wanted to get involved?

Well, it’s break; no one really cares.

Before this comes off as overly cynical, allow me to explain; as I have said before, we go on break so we can spend some time relaxing and recuperating from the previous semester. As such, we begin to detach ourselves from the going ons of Wabash. I assume most of us would rather be spending time with friends and family rather than argue over things. This is supposed to be a happy time of year, not a time of bickering and arguing (refrain from making comments about the government). Now, the last email war was at a time where everyone was on campus, and being so close to Monon Week it had the best chance of getting noticed. This one didn’t have such luck, and I’m happy for that.

Also, while I check my emails regularly, I’m certain that there are those Wabash men who don’t possess such diligence, especially during breaks. This does have to do with the above, as we are more interested in family than school, and thus would be a bit distracted and too lazy to check our emails. This is all in theory, of course, as I am only one person and therefore not a good representation of the actions and beliefs of the campus as a whole (again, refrain from making comments about government, or how Wabash is run).

Perhaps there is a way that we can connect better with one another over breaks. I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure someone will find it eventually.
