Campus Icks – The WSU Elevator 

The WSU building is beautiful outside. It’s welcoming, and just seems like a chill place. And the inside? It’s also a vibe, but there’s a darkness looming there. 

With the Nexus office upstairs, sometimes an early morning or tiring day forces us to use the elevator. And every time, without fail, it’s absolutely terrifying. You know those old elevators that have that creepy carpet-like walls inside which makes it feel like they’re closing in on you? Yeah well, that’s how it is. And it gets WORSE. The doors take forever to open, so you’re stuck in there for nearly a full minute- sixty seconds is a long time, okay?  

Most of the elevators on campus are like this. They may look the same, but they’re all waiting to drag us down to Hell. And every time they shake, it’s like they’re laughing at your expense. Honestly, some good elevator music would make the ride feel less like a perilous journey. 

The only ones that get a free pass are the new elevators that head up to The Pā <3.

Naming Your Kids After Something You Love VS Just Make Sure It Sounds Nice 

Tehana VS My Mum <3 

Naming your children after something you love is the only way to go about it. These little beans are literally a piece of YOU, so shouldn’t you pick a name that reminds you of something that brings you joy just as they do? Now I’m not saying that if you’re a Star Wars nerd and have twins you should name your kids Luke and Leia (do it, you won’t). I just think that getting inspo from things you love is never a terrible idea. Or just go all the way overboard and try to normalise being specific when you name them. Picture something like this: “good night That Scene When Satoru Gojo Looks Over His Shoulder At Jogo After Killing Hanami In Season Two Of JJK”.  

 

VS 

Entrusting a hormonal, highly emotional, mostly irrational, and permanently hangry pregnant woman to choose a name is definitely the worst decision made by the Gods. It’s a scary one too. So instead, choose a name that will ensure baby Gary can wear that suit to his board meeting with integrity, little Mark can proudly run for Prime Minister, and baby girl Anne can be that Chief Prosecutor. Make sure it’s a sensible name that sounds remotely interesting and doesn’t cause you to shove a sharpened pencil in your eyes every time you call out to your precious baby, frustrating teen, or clingy adult child. Choosing a kid’s name cannot be swayed by emotion, otherwise our precious Nexus editor would have been named after a weather condition, a city in Italy, or a Viking Goddess.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be?

I’ve no idea. I’m still tryna figure that out. A lot of people think you have to have it figured out? Like, my parents have done so many things and it was just like, at a certain point I was like like “I don’t want to do any of the things they’ve done, I wanna do something original”. I think that was like, my only goal.

Uh, well, the next question was what are your long term plans?

Great question, no clue! Nah, I wanna work in the Design field, keep illustrating, keep illustrating, keep working with that. Above all else, I am an artist and a designer.

I feel like that should be your tagline.

“Above all else, I am an artist and a designer”? Usually it’s been “Hi i’m shit basterd” on the last few videos

I forgot about that

I wish I could forget.

What’s the last cool movie you watched?

I watched the new Deadpool yesterday, really enjoyed it. I do also have horrendouse taste… oh, do wanna watch the new Beetlejuice movie.

On a scale of one to ten, how confident are you that New Zealand will win more than one medal at the Olympics?

I have no idea, look, I haven’t played a sport since high school?

Well, we have got one, so just pick a random number.

Ah… 3. It’ll be 3.w

What is your favourite song right now?

Sinister Kid by The Black Keys. They also did the Mitre 10 jingle.

Last question, What do you think the point of human existence is? 

I dunno… to live? Vibes? Vibes. Live your truth. Legally. Or like, don’t commit the big ones like murder? Steal from the grocery store.
