New Year, New SU

It’s a new year, students are back on campus and we’ve all got resolutions we’re already struggling to keep. So, we at Jerk want to share our ins and out for 2024 to help you survive the beginning of the new year.  

In:

Barnes smoothies. It is criminal that they cost $7 but we all deserve a little sweet treat right? And for our South Campus residents, don’t worry, there’s also an Otto’s Juice Box at Goldstein so you don’t have to make the unnecessary trek to campus. 

Self tanner. These Syracuse winters hit hard and the sun doesn’t shine for months. Find a tanner that makes you look golden. Because we all deserve to look good even when it's 20° outside. 

New York Times games. Lectures are long. You need a study break. A little Wordle and Connections will get you through, we promise. 

Google Calendar. 2024 is our year of organization. No more forgetting about club meetings, appointments, or due dates. Put that shit in your calendar. 

Out:

Ice on Einhorn. If we see one more person face plant on their walk to class, we all might as well just apply to transfer. 

Sunday scaries. Remember, this is the year of organization and actually getting some work done before Sunday creeps in on us. 

Marshall Street Chipotle. Now, we love Chipotle as much as the next person, but we’ve all had one too many bad experiences here. It’s time to finally learn our lesson and get food somewhere else. 

Uncomfy shoes. Everyday is leg day walking around to classes on SU’s campus. It’s not worth it to be wearing uncomfortable shoes all day when you’ve got countless hills to climb. 

Happy 2024, we’re wishing you the best year yet.
