Yeah. Squirrels are balla.

Happy October!

It’s the first day of a new month, a time to start over, to rejuvenate after the drag of psets and papers, awkward social encounters, and abundant HarvardFML submissions.  It’s a time to look ahead and be cheerful (even if midterms are coming up).

To get into the spirit of things, we here at Noice would like to draw your attention to some of the more exotic ways people celebrate the month of trick-or-treating, Head of the Charles, and apple cider.

Just for your information and personal enjoyment, October is also known as:

• Church Safety and Security Month: Because criminals exist everywhere, even in the pew behind you and as we learned from the robes, even your priest knows how to be naughty.
• Month of Free Thought: Take a page from Tom Cruise’s book and don’t be constrained by society’s rules. But we wouldn’t suggest doing so on your midterms.
• National Sarcastic Awareness Month: If you need help with this one, see any of the posts below.
• Sausage Month: For some of us, this means Oktoberfest. For the rest of us … well … no explanation necessary.
• Squirrel Awareness Month: Even though they’re scary and creepy, squirrels need some lovin’ too. (And for those of us in James Wood’s class, this will have especially deep significance.)

And finally, Noice would like to instate its own signification for October:

We hereby announce National Wei Gu Awareness Month because everybody needs a little crazy in their inbox.
