I can’t believe people are actually jumping in mirror lake. I was going to but then I became informed of the rankness that consists of that pond. First of all, they measure the pH and temperature before everyone gets in and after. They’re checking to see the level of disgusting. Dead giveaway you shouldn’t be in that water. Second of all, if you were to watch the news like I did, you would be aware that tons of students get ill directly after jumping in that foul water, whether it’s from exposure or the temperature. Third of all, it’s FREEZING outside tonight and jumping in even colder water is just plain unhealthy and unappealing. Lastly, most people get really messed up before they jump in. More than often they are trashed and sloppy. Do you want disorderly icky people to fall all over you when you jump in? Better yet, do you want to get covered in all of the pee and vomit from the drunks, or the trash that has accumulated in the bottom of the lake over the years? This is a college campus; I’m sure some raunchy shit has gone down in that lake. Now this isn’t just a rant, I do understand. It’s fun to participate in a college tradition, especially something that is yearly and full of spirit. In fact, a lot of my friends are all going to jump in tonight. Originally I was too, and I was very excited. The offers of free food, parties, and booze are also enticing reminders of why students should join in. Honestly though, after doing my research, It just seems too icky now. Sorry! Go Buckeyes! Ha-ha.
