The HoCo’s message calls for students to “Pull out and iron out all of those job rejection letters and failed midterms wrinkled and inside your trashcan AND/OR think up all of your favorite recent pfail stories,” post them on the wall anonymously or signed, then “Smile & feel accomplished/cleansed” and finally “Read all the other posts and stop feeling like you are all alone...
