Notes from Crew Quarters: Summer Is Here!

We at the Passages North office have officially been on summer break for a few weeks now! To celebrate, we had our editors finish the following statement: "You know it's summer break when _____."

Jacque Boucher, Spoken Word Poetry

The reason you haven't gotten around to reading all those books you said you would gets a little fuzzy. (See: "it's so nice today," or "I'm not wearing pants.")

Hayley Fitz, Associate Fiction Editor

Instead of "busy" meaning "i have 12 books to read and 283472983 papers to grade," it means "well i still have three seasons of Always Sunny to finish and it would take a lot of work to put clothes on at this point."

Matt Weinkam, Managing Editor

Two midgets shitting into a bucket. (Wait, I thought this was a Cards Against Humanity setup. I guess I know it's summer break when I can't distinguish between appropriate/inappropriate, a card game/ reality.)

Ashely Adams, Associate Nonfiction Editor

Black flies.

Robin McCarthy, Managing Editor 

Today I showered for the first time in 8 days. That was my tip-off.

Mike Berry, Associate Fiction Editor

I get random cravings for stadium hot dogs, $9 beers and frozen lemonade and I start hearing phantom loud drunks cursing the White Sox.
