The Time: June 5, 3pm
The Purpose: school supply shopping
As a sketchy alum of New College of Florida, my experience with school spirit is limited to an intellectual superiority complex that waxes and wanes depending on the day.
Our mascot being nothing but [ ] and nothing more, symbols of New College run few and far between with the use of the four winds symbol being the closes thing we have to a true mascot.
The majority of the bookstore like most college campus bookstore's is full of university paraphernalia. Burnt orange overwhelms the senses. Intensity that is difficult for me to comprehend considering my own college experience.
Also, Burnt orange is an unattractive color on everyone. Just sayin'.
I get it. It is a nice thing, a nice feeling to take pride in one's dwelling in one's alma mater. I really do.
We all have various symbols to represent various aspects of our identities. The star of david for example is the unmistakable symbol for the Jewish people.
I find the use of a color, to represent a group of people or an identity interesting. Why is it that when a new baby is born blue is used for a baby boy, and why is it that when it is a girl pink is used?
Why is burnt orange the color for the university of texas?
