VCW – In a rare occurrence this semester, freshman pre-med student Joe Chang (COL ’18) took a break from his studies to leave his Village C West dorm room.

According to floor-mates who were “stunned” from the shock of seeing him in a context other than studying for the first time, Chang stepped out from his must-filled dorm room at 7:43 pm.

Typically, Pre-Med students are an elusive type, preferring nocturnal tendencies and habitats comprised of piles of books and self-imposed academic solitude. To witness one outside of its native habitat happens once in a blue moon (as their migratory cycles have evolved to coincide with lunar events).

Upon hearing of this, researchers commented that they “have only seen one in person two or three times” and that, “this was as big as the surprise microbiology quiz of ‘06”.

According to Chang, he had been planning this outing for a few days.

“I’ve decided that some social time would benefit me greatly. Twenty minutes at Epicurean’s sounds like more than enough interaction with others”, said Chang to a Heckler reporter.

Consulting scientists comment that while he is not technically wrong, such behavior will lead to compulsive tendencies, 167 hour work weeks, and the inability to hold discussions not related to the difficulty of his classes.

One of his neighbors, Sue Randleman (COL ’18), commented that, “he was complaining about the brightness of the sun, and kept hunching over and shielding his eyes with a stack of stoichiometry notes”.

His roommate stated he has seen Chang stare at his monitor for hours at a time, only moving to absentmindedly wipe the drool off his chin.

Current sources have reported that he is now back in his room, fervently reviewing the digestive cycle for the third time saying that he had “had enough socializing for a semester.”
