  1. Ryan carrying three tables as he helps set up for the Sweethearts' Soiree dance being held this evening.

    He said earnestly, "when I win the World's Strongest Man contest, remember this as my origin story."

  2. One of the things we like about campus is that there's always weird, whimsical shit to see, if only you pay attention. (True of life in general.)

    This one was hard to miss -- a wooden Lorax nailed to a tree stump. Nobody knows where it came from. It just showed up Wednesday morning.

  3. The Campus Life office just sent out a "Word Cloud Analysis" of the feedback forms turned in after today's New Student Orientation.

    As student journalists, we would point out that the results are confusing, and also that Word Clouds are a form of visualization, not proper statistical analysis, Mollie Sawyer.

  4. You know the University's anti-cyberbullying campaign has gone too far when they start referring to regular bullying as "offline cyberbullying."

  5. Our college ran a contest for students to design a new sticker to hand out at events.

    The winning design is brilliant, but this is -- as we understand it -- the runner-up. Wow.

    And it actually has made it into sticker form. Maybe unofficially?

    An art school we ain't.

  6. Happy National Paper Airplane Day!

    Sure, we're three days late (it was celebrated May 26), but here is a Mat-Su Monitor paper airplane -- the Zip Dart from foldandfly.com.

    What the picture can't convey:

    * our misplaced confidence after an easy step 1

    * the profanities said at step 3

    * the pleas to slow down after we switched to video instructions

    * our inordinate pride at finishing a kids' project

    * our shame at our shoddy work

    * our respect for this #holiday

  7. We've finally uploaded the video that we took right after this picture. It shows the frogs of Okeson Pond in Palmer, Alaska making quite a racket!

  8. The bird seed seed bell has finally been joined with the Talis Colberg Bird Seed Seed Bell Commemorative Plaque. #MSCNews

  9. Last night we attended the unveiling of the Talis Colberg Commemorative Bird Seed Seed Bell. It is a tribute to our retiring director -- an avid birder, fine director, and great man.

    The plaque that accompanies the bird seed seed bell was installed near Okeson Pond.

    There is no bird seed seed bell yet. They are proving difficult to find. Rest assured, we overheard staff ordering one during the unveiling ceremony: "Hello, I need the biggest seed bell you have. No... that's too big."

  10. The frogs are pretty loud down Okeskon Pond way on the Mat-Su College Campus in Palmer, #Alaska.

    Soon there will be pollywogs galore!
