The Fresh Fizz: A Biweekly Review

November 8, 2022 by Eigen Escario

Step aside Yik Yak, there’s a new hottie in the villa… Fizz made its debut on campus a couple of weeks ago when they dispatched their ambassadors to give out merch and honey-glazed donuts to advertise the new app that resembles its predecessor, Yik Yak, in its anonymous posting and geographic feed filtering. Fizz was created by Stanford students who launched the project on their campus for proof of concept, convincing 80% of their student body to download and use the app, before scaling to multiple universities after closing a seed funding round.

Okay enough talk, let’s get to the fizz:

Sorry to break it to y’all… but it’s November already. One more month of school then it’s finals season. What is even happening anymore?

Anyways, has anyone been getting a lot of VU Alerts lately? It kinda makes me feel special to know they care until I remember that they send the same emails and voicemails to literally everyone else. But yeah, it’s lowkey giving GTA vibes (not really though, referencing another Fizz iykyk). Robbery at noon (yeah, weird) on 21st on a Thursday. Bizarre. Speaking of 21st, typical “I miss Wesley” post incoming.

The Melodores performed at Sarratt Cinema on Friday night, garnering mixed reviews from the audience. Several conversations have also been brought up about the discrepancy in funding and support for the performing arts groups on campus vs. the athletic teams. And here’s some alleged, unconfirmed goss about some Melo-shenanigans sprinkled in.

Next up: one of the biggest topics of discussion on campus right now is… drum rolls please… registration season! This anxiety-inducing process is upon us now, and everyone is freaking out about making decisions about their future 

Ending on a more positive note: these are your reminders to get out there, touch some grass, and appreciate life. 🙂
