HIT/BITCH

RIHANNA'S BIRTHDAY February 20 Why has this day still not been declared a national holiday? On February 20 you better be blasting the entirety of Rhianna’s discography, dancing around in your Fenty X Savage underwear, and praying for the release of her new album.

OSCARS February 9 If Greta Gerwig isn’t nominated for Best Director then what’s the point? We will be boycotting this event until our female directors get the respect and recognition they deserve.

WALLOWS CONCERT February 27 If you listen to Clairo, have a nicotine addiction, frequently wear beanies, or just have an all-around ~chill vibe~, then you will definitely enjoy the Wallows. We’re honestly not sure why they chose to come to Syracuse of all places, but we’re not mad about it. Maybe ditch Lucy’s for one Thursday night and go down to Westcott Theatre instead. HIT

SPRING BREAK March 15-22 I think we all need a break from eating shit on the promenade, blacking out at Harry’s, and Kimmel quesadillas. Whether you’re traveling someplace warmer, to your grandma’s house, or even staying in ‘Cuse, consider this break a detox and try to forget all of the fucked up shit that you did over the first half of this semester.

FEBRUARY-MAY STATE CAUCUSES AND PRIMARIES In case you live under a rock and don’t know shit about politics, the state primaries are HERE and they ARE a big fucking deal. Check and see when your state has their primary election, fill out an absentee ballot, and most importantly, VOTE!!!!

LEAP DAY February 29 First of all, why is Leap day the only day where it’s socially acceptable for a woman to propose to a man?? A woman can propose to whoever she wants to, wherever she wants, whenever she wants to and that’s that on that! Also, we all know that time is just a concept and like Daylight savings, leap days don’t make any sense. VALENTINE'S DAY February 14 We’re just going to state the facts: Valentine's Day is a socially constructed holiday fueled by corporate greed (we’re looking at you, Hallmark), and no matter how much you love and cherish your partner, you’re getting ripped off. Justin Bieber’s album also comes out on Valentine’s Day and after the Yummy catastrophe, we can’t say we’re all that excited for 16 more songs. BITCH

MERCURY IS IN RETROGRADE February 17 - March 10 It really does feel like mercury is always in retrograde these days. We’re really happy that this period of time not only extends through arguably the coldest part of the winter but also through midterms.
