The Academic World Is a Taco...

If you would like a taste of what Mount Aloysius College is all about, I've created an interesting analogy for you.

Students are the meat of the institution. And let's face it, without the meat, the taco is just a glorified Dorito. The lettuce represents nature and the cheese represents...cheese...because everybody likes cheese. The sour cream is the snow that is cool and refreshing. The fire sauce adds the kick that gives it that zesty south-of the-border sense of danger. Finally, the campus is the taco shell. It holds all the elements together in harmony. But, we all know what happens when we jam too much of the taco meat into that confined space. The taco shell gets soggy and breaks. Then the whole experience is ruined and nobody can enjoy the taco.

Hello, I'm Adam DePiro, and that was complete nonsense. But, in a way my metaphor also applies to the the small school atmosphere. There's a lot of us here, but not so many that you can't find a moment of peace, let alone get any studying done. I was at a larger school and trust me, the constant noise gets to you. The Mount Aloysius taco is also flavored with a perfect student/teacher ratio and an expanding curriculum, so it's like a never-ending taco platter. Shove too many students in the shell, and it will collapse and the meat will scatter everywhere.

Sorry, guys. I've been reading poetry for Lit class, and I think my brain got stuck. The analogy is my mental playground. See, there I go again.

That's all I have. I just kinda wanted to mess with you guys a little bit. I'll give you another entry really soon. Later on.

You should probably go get some tacos...I'll bet I made you hungry.
DePiro Rules!
