Sometimes in life, we have to make the hard decisions to do things we don’t want to do. Sometimes those decisions affect more than just the outcome of your day but also the people around you. And sometimes you just have to be a cunt. This isn’t meant to be inspirational, I just wanted to say that making decisions sucks ass and we’re always faced with the difficult reality that we’re not always going to please everyone around us. 

 

But tell me why Victoria University needs to catch these fucking hands? You too Massey, you’re not immune. 


To be honest, I sat comfy in Kirikiriroa before having my world rocked with two things. 1) Angus Cloud passed away. I mean, fuck. There’s no happiness left in this world now. And 2) Vic Uni and Massey decided to be shit cunts and fuck their students up the ass. Not without warning but it was still kind of weird right? I’m certain that Massive Mag and Salient will cover this. Well, when they’re not fighting complaints about niche topics and mono-centric views of inclusivity. So I won’t do that. We’re also facing a large issue. 11 staff members took voluntary redundancy. 11! The end is coming.

 

This isn’t insensitivity, but a wake-up call for a lot of what’s happening in the world. We’ve now seen the decline of education, a business basically fixing their outflow of money with less students wanting to attend their ‘fine’ institution. But that’s all it is right? A business decision? There’s no other motive at play right?

 

No one is quite sure what any of this means. This editorial included. Though there’s one thing we can all agree on. Students LOVE a fucking march. Not even for the important things. I’m sure if you offered a MARCH212-Intro to protest marching – that’s where you’d recover those costs that you’re oh so precious about. I think that there’s a missing link here, something to tell the University what it is students ACTUALLY want. A missing link not unlike, oh I don’t know, a Students’ Union perhaps?

 

Anyway, this is our take on a political issue. But it’s not political. Not really. Okay kinda. It’s a party fuckface. Have fun bro, shit. Life is not meant to be this serious, and I’m kind of over pretending like it is. Maybe just smoke more weed and chill the fuck out guys.

 

Catch ya dogs,
