At the time, "swears" were not really in my vocabulary.

remembering how my mind got blown back in the day, a fellow UChicago alum at a party, he said, "Indeed, would you even go so far as to say, 'Fuck the police'?" The thought had never occurred to me. Then he played the song. Nothing was ever the same.

IU collective action 

The administration sent out an email saying that you may become unenrolled if you have a large outstanding balance due to unpaid mandatory fees, an action that's really dire for international students here on education visas. However, they clarified that this only happens after multiple years of unpaid fees in a follow up email.

They have, however, put holds on accounts that are witholding fees to prevent them from registering for the fall, despite official policy.

IU collective action 

The IU graduate workers fee strike is still going on. A thousand of us are still refusing to pay our mandatory fees.
These fees were about 1200 per year with international students paying an additional 600. The fee amounts have dropped somewhat for graduate workers in the college of arts and science but they're still too high for someone making 15,500 per year to pay.

Is it unprofessional to low key say "nice" in lecture when the number 69 comes up?
