Forget Prep Year

I’ve recently had the pleasure of a resurfacing spree on Facebook. For those of you that are unaware of what that means (or those of you that have a heart), “resurfacing” is what your friends do when they like a status or photo from your deep, dark past. At Exeter, a common goldmine is anything from prep year. This includes (but is not limited to) black and white photobooth selfies, “Like my status,” posts and anything that ends in #onlyatexeter pre-Facebook hashtags.

Because we at the Humor Page love our readers (Hi, Mom), we’ve decided to pull some of the best Facebook statuses from The Exonian’s editors. 

From fellow Humor Editor/Old Person Ben Hogoboom on November 20, 2011: “Since when do people have twitters?” 

An honest observation from our Editor-in-Chief, Katie Liptak, on September 29, 2011: “I’m hot.” I’m sure it’s that kind of attitude that got her to where she is today. 

This is not a Facebook post, but something that was said yesterday at The Exonian office by the one and only Jay Lee: “My body is in 2014, but my soul is in 2009,” as he played Sean Kingston.

Seeking the blessing of his 1,035 closest friends, OpEd Editor Sol Chase posted on September 6, 2011: “This is the last post before I head on my way to the big E!!!!!!! Pls like and wish me luck.” Here’s hoping you’ve had good luck at the big E, Sol. 

Exonians, heed this warning. Preps, it’s not too late for you to delete statuses that you may find embarrassing when you’re no longer in the blissful bubble of prep life. Non-preps, have mercy on your friends. Or go crazy on their old posts and avoid your responsibilities.
