I am a student at Endicott College in Beverly MA, about 10-15 miles north of Boston. Today I checked my student email and recieved this;

I’m not joking when I say this may be the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. I mean Endicott is in Beverly for god sakes! This isn’t some Southern CT school we’re talking about here. This is in the heart of the North Shore. Like what’s the week after that? Painting a fire hydrant to celebrate when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and killed a shitload of Americans? The only possible explanation for this is that this is just a ruse to round up all the Yankee fans in one spot and then exterminate them. That has to be it. Because no Boston school could be dumb right? Not to mention the fact that Endicott isn’t like BU with a ton of New Yorkers. Like I got to believe 97% of Endicott’s students are from MA not that it ever matters though. Bottomline is the students need to riot or something to make this right.
