The Dirt Guide for the Class of 2027

(04/07/23 4:00am)

Oh look. It's the perfect opportunity to join the most amazing cult—I mean, community—ever to exist on this wonderful campus. So what's stopping ya?! Welcome to Duke, my Fresh Piles of Dirt! There are many reasons why I shouldn’t like spring. My nose tickles with the sharp acidity of processed manure, commonly known as MiracleGro. I’ve practically gained a five-head from the way my midterms have stretched my silly little brain. And my sleep debt has accumulated so much that if I don’t pay special attention, I start drooling a bit from the corner of my mouth. But despite all this, spring is my favorite season of the year. You wanna know why? Because YOU all just got accepted to the BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!!!!! Heaven is where the Blue Devils roam. And I’m literally peeing my pants with sheer excitement to meet you all. <3

It’s my fourth year at Duke and one thing’s stayed the same: my dorm walls are bare. My dorm has changed three times; my walls have always been bare. And in the corner where two walls kiss, my laundry basket is full—laundry basket as in dirty pile, full as in towering. I’ve never minded, not until recently at least. I’ve never understood the point of domestic work. Why do people make beds? Well, for the same reason people wipe their ass after they shit, is what I’ve been told. But I wipe my ass after I shit because if I don’t, then my asscrack itches. I don’t itch if I don’t make my bed. In fact, I can roll under the mess of crumpled sheets and right into tomorrow without a pause. And I often did.
