HARBIN – Preliminary reports indicate that Georgetown student Tim Hopkins (COL ’17), is, for some reason, really excited about staying on campus over Thanksgiving break.

In contrast to the vast majority of Hoyas who will be returning home for Thanksgiving to spend time with family and friends, Hopkins will reportedly be spending the entirety of his break at Georgetown. However, sources indicate that Hopkins seems weirdly excited by this prospect, remarking that it will provide him with an opportunity to catch up on his “me time.”

“Yeah, I mean, it’ll be weird being the only kid left on Harbin 4, but I’m going to make the most of it,” Hopkins said, barely concealing a nervous grin.

In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, Hopkins has repeatedly pestered his roommate, Evan Sanders (MSB ’17), with unsettlingly specific questions about his Thanksgiving travel itinerary. In particular, Hopkins has demonstrated a notable fixation with confirming that Sanders is sure that he will be gone for the entirety of the break.

“So you’ll be coming back at, what, on Sunday, then?” Hopkins asked Sanders on Tuesday night. “Like when specifically? Are we talking like around midnight, or sometime in the afternoon? I just…I need to know, man,” he continued.

In addition to querying Sanders, Hopkins has also questioned residents of neighboring rooms as to when they be leaving and arriving back on campus.

“It’s just, you know, the walls in Harbin are kinda thin, and I don’t want to…disturb anyone,” Hopkins explained defensively.

When questioned as to how, exactly, he plans on occupying himself over the course of the four-day break, Hopkins was noticeably evasive, remarking only that, “I’ve got some pretty cool stuff planned.”

At press time, Hopkins was seen wheeling a stack of unmarked cardboard boxes into his room and covering his windows with black curtains.
