Ode to the Mather Raccoon

In case you thought we don’t have creative range, you thought wrong. Welcome to The Thrill sonnet corner.

Simulated Kenyon: The New Library, Part I

Even though we’ve seen the Kenyon 2020 Plans online, on fences, and in our dreams, many still wonder exactly what the new library should and will look like. Because I will have graduated and received a restraining order from Kenyon by the time the library is completed, I decided to answer these questions by creating the new Kenyon library in the most realistic computer game known to man: the Sims 2. I’ve spoken to a lot of Kenyon simulation truthers, and we can all agree that life at Kenyon is sometimes so odd that we must live in either a corrupted cartoon universe or a simulation created by Graham Gund. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a “strategic life simulation video game” from 2004 is the best way to predict our future. Also, the Thrill already has a surprising amount of Sims content for an blog about Kenyon College, so you signed up for this!

PSA to the Raccoon Who Keeps Chewing Through the Power Lines

Please stop. I get it: there aren’t a lot of things for a city fella like you to do in this village. I feel the same way. And I understand how tired you probably are of the repetition of Papa Johns and Keystone in the campus trashcans. Variance is important for a diet like yours.

Uh Oh Gamers! DCat’s Been Replaced!

Hello everyone it is I, the News Goblin, and I come bringing great and terrible news. The terrible news is that our beloved Sean Decatur, will be stepping down as President of Kenyon.
