College-The slow death of the 'BUNK'

This is the freak theory which I am going to prove today with the TSI. To begin with, Lets picture the glory days in retrospect -the school days-days when our school was a fortress with remote sensing teachers, the not-so-forgiving principal add to that some back-biting students, the jam packed classes………….oh pardon me……….the excruciaaaaaatingly and painfully boring and looong jam packed classes and with all theses odds stacked against us we would still snatch what we respectfully call “The elusive BUNK”. Wow! What a feeling it was-the king-of-the world-feeling of beating the odds and winning over fate, of freeing your soul and attaining nirvana, of joining the elite league of the revered wall jumpers and the gate crashers. Wow!!.........................................But when I look back now I wonder would all these feelings be still there if my principal hadn’t wasted all his time in stacking the odds I mentioned earlier in this article. The point I am trying to make is that it is this “Cheap Thrill” (excuse me for the pun) which is the driving force behind every successful bunker. (Successful as in contemporary bunking terms and nerds who think missing a class which was never actually there is a bunk rightfully excluded). What I Mean is that it is the odds that are against it that make a Bunk sweet and here is where a college looses out to the school . When an inherent bunker steps foot in a college, he looks for greater challenges, greater heights to strive for, more “Glory” but unfortunately all he gets is rules that don’t exist, and those which exist have already broken innumerable times by those before him but inspite of all this, being the fighter that he is, he still bunks a lot in his early days in college just to prove a point to his mates that he is the last word in the world of bunking. He pretty much bunks everything that moves (what ever this means). But as time matures, the spirits drop, the motivation is no longer there, his mates ignore him and so do the teachers whose classes he bunked and to add insult to injury they even give him all his attendance back at the slightest request and that my dear readers I must tell you no self respecting bunker can ever tolerate. After a few months the inevitable strikes………………… the bunker community loses a brother. Many argue joining a society or a club can help save a bunker in addition to providing him some leverage for bunking classes in college but let me remind you societies are constructive and creative people and a leading bunker on condition of anonymity was quoted as saying,” Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!” to the following suggestion. He said,” Joining a society will be a blot on my efficient time-wasting legacy”. And we must respect that. Thus looking at all the arguments and theories presently circulating on this topic, we have come to the most certain conclusion that –College is indeed where the ‘Bunk’ meets its slow death and most often (as recent examples have shown) never resurfaces again…………………………………..
