SU Colleges as a Bones or No Bones Day

Graphic by Catie Haugen

If you had told us pre-pandemic that a pug was going to determine how our days were supposedly going to go, we would have told you that you were crazy. But alas. Here we are, 2021, and we say hail to Noodle the Pug. We already have Punxsutawney Phil who blesses us with his sacred presence every Groundhog Day, but over the past month, Noodles has won his way into the hearts of many, including SU students. Some days, Noodle feels more in tune with students’ energy than our lovable mascot, Otto, and certain students definitely epitomize Noodle’s various — yet all equally adorable — moods. Without further ado...here are the SU colleges as Bones or No Bones Days with explanations to wake you up (or not).

Whitman School of Management

Bones Day. Barely. Whitman kids are the kind of Bones Day that has Noodle shaking one second and collapsing the next. Sit down, kids. We know you have some kind of kick in you, so save that for business-casual Fridays. That’s when you’ll have to wear your “hard pants.”

College of Arts and Sciences

Cemented to their bed. Noodle was asleep, and it could not be verified whether or not it would be a Bones Day. Looks like you’ll have to keep wishing someone will remember to check on you later.

Newhouse School

BIG. BONES. DAY. Noodle is ready for a walk. Not only is he ready to rumble, the whole world is going to have to know about it as well. A Newhouse Bones Day requires everyone to hear about how great of a day it’s going to be at seven in the morning. Sharp. 

College of Visual and Performing Arts

No Bones today, no siree. All the VPA kids are too tired from their four-hour studio sessions to have any bones left. But they’ll wear some incredible Noodle merch that can only be found from their best friend’s small business that just requested to follow you on Instagram. 

College of Architecture

Sturdy Bones Day! Kind of. Noodle’s tongue was sticking out, and he looked a little dazed and confused. He was standing though, so that’s all that counts. Probably because he forgot that he could lay back down, just like architecture students over winter break. 

School of Education 

No Bones. Nothing to be found. In fact, nobody remembered to check for bones despite the fact that Noodle was awake. Everybody forgets that the School of Education exists, and after a full day of working with screaming children, education majors wish they could too. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Falk College of Sports and Human Dynamics

It’s a Bones Day for Falk students. Falk is the epitome of Noodle when he was younger: a little unaware of everything going on but excited to potentially be something one day. And guess what? Noodle sure as hell made it.

Bones or no bones, treat yourself. It’s what Noodle would want for us all.
