Hello, and welcome back to another installment of “Whitebear Sez!” Expect more of these this semester, as well as more groin-grabbingly interesting topics, as well.This bi-week, we’re going to be talking about something that has confused me the second I walked into the nifty new student center: that fireplace. I mean, come on. A fireplace? Really? That seems like an odd thing to put in the new student center, at least that’s what I thought. Wouldn’t there be something better to put in that spot, like a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 machine? I don’t think Skyline is THAT cold that we need a fireplace. We’re getting hit with fog and cold wind, not blizzards.As much as I love ripping on things however, I have to admit that the fireplace is something of an attraction, too. Everyday I see people chillin’ right on those couches, chatting it up in front of the fire. It’s nice, I’ll admit. When I walk into the student center, my eyes are immediately drawn to the fire, whether I want to look at it or not. So in a way, I suppose that the fireplace is doing it’s job, because everytime I look at that fire, I wanna just lay right in front of the flames. But not too close that I burn myself, you know?So in closing, I believe that the fireplace really is a dumb idea, but it does its job in bringing people towards it, like a moth toward a….well, you get the idea, don’t you?
