<hr />
<div>'''Sex''' is fun for everyone. Except if you're impotent. And yet there seems to be very little sex going on at Knox for a college of its size. This could be due to the lower-than-average level of attractiveness and the astounding ratio of women to men. But studies conducted by [[Heather Hoffman]] indicate that it is actually a result of the [[Knox awkward effect]].<br />
<br />
[[Knox]] is a small college, so if you have sex often, chances are good that [[The web|someone you had sex with has had sex with someone who has had sex with someone you've had sex with.]]<br />
<br />
If you are [[gay]], [[lesbian]] or [[bisexual]] or have had sex with someone who is, you may have had sex with someone who has had sex with someone you've had sex with.<br />

Greetings First-years!!!! Welcome to the longest standing concurrent Knox tradition! Flunk day is an amazing day filled with games, activities, free swag, and all kinds of beautiful people showing off how much they can hold down without throwing up...and then how quick they can recover after throwing up. <br />
<br />
One of the most exciting parts of Flunk Day isn't Flunk Day at all, but the mystery leading up to it! Use this forum to post predictions, comments, and hype about Flunk Day as the time gets closer.

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 101th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />

Getting strong Flunk Vibes from Thursday the 27th<br />
<br />
^I get that, its kinda dramatic...<br />
<br />
rise up event for sexual assault awareness is that day, and i just feel like that would be a !bad thing! to have to cancel<br />
<br />
I also have a strong feeling about Thursday. Lawn was mowed, weather is nice, no tour visits scheduled..<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2023 (Fri)==<br />

Emily Anderson scheduled a "flex" day in her course schedule "just in case flunk day is around here"...suspicious<br />

<br />
Maybe they'll go for 3 Mondays in a row<br />
<br />
Lots of talk on Yik Yak about today. Someone claims to have seen trucks? But no pictures posted yet<br />
<br />
guys i'm scared i don't want another monday fluhnk<br />
<br />
no Monday flunk today. my bets are on Thursday although there is lots of talk of it being a week 8 monday flunk.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'Twas the night before Flunk Day <br />
When good children lay<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2023 (Tue)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
I choose to believe. Lots of rumors for this day.<br />
<br />
Guest speaker coming for history department, very likely not today.<br />
<br />
They gave the guest speaker an additional time on Wednesday? Why else would they do that if not for Flunk<br />
<br />
I feel like there hasn't been a lot of talk about Flunk being today... If the only conflict is the guest speaker... I don't know. Thursday seems a little obvious. Maybe they're trying to catch us off guard. Besides, who knows if they even registered the speaker with the planners.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you mean by “They gave the guest speaker an additional time on Wednesday?” ??? Nothing on the calendar<br />
<br />
no flunk today :(<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2023 (Wed)==<br />
I feel a May 3rd flunk in my bones (I have been informed that this is BBB, my bones were wrong)<br />
<br />
There was an RA meeting scheduled for this day that Amanda postponed without explanation<br />
<br />
Blessing blues and brews is also on this day so no may 3 flunk<br />
<br />
After a significant time suppling ChatGPT with information about flunk day and its history, <br />
one student was successful in getting ChatGPT to make a flunk day prediction. <br />
ChatGPT took data from past years, previous flunk day dates, knowledge of widely accepted <br />
acceptable date parameters, and access to one of the flunk day planner's calendar in order <br />
to make its prediction. May 3rd, 2023 was the Open AI's Flunk Day prediction.<br />
<br />
Listen y'all, it has to be the third, its just too good! Monday is too predictable, Tuesday<br />
and Thursday classes are a pain to reschedule and I feel like the planners are nice and will<br />
consider that (total assumption but listen, okay, it makes sense), and it can't be next week <br />
because rutabaga runs Tuesday --> Friday and following the "it wont be Monday three times in<br />
a row" rule, it has to be the 3rd. The week after rutabaga is way too late and they wouldn't<br />
do that to us twice in a row, would they? No. May 3rd. Mark your calendars!<br />
<br />
^two problems with the may 3 theory: one, blessings blues and brews, which would be a complete pain to reschedule since it's a student-run event in a rented space that is advertised to the Galesburg community (and it's Blessing's primary fundraiser) and the McGadney Community Dinner on the 3rd, which would be horrendous optics to announce and then be forced to reschedule because of flunk (esp since McGadney knows when flunk day is and can schedule his events around it).<br />
<br />
no flunk today ):<br />
<br />
FRIAR SIGN UP EMAIL SENT. <br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Myrissa planner ra hint look at jake calendar... jake calendar say he "out of office" on this day....... sussy....<br />
<br />
May the 4th be with you....Flunk Wars?<br />
<br />
False Flunk email 1st anniversary. Who's taking one for the team this year?<br />
<br />
i feel it in my hearts of hearts... just manifesting<br />
<br />
Because they haven’t released the theme yet, I feel like it’s going to be today and that it’s going to be Flunk Wars: Return of the Flunk in honor of the anniversary of Return of the Jedi<br />
<br />
If it's not May third, it's 100% May 4th. I'll bet my life savings on this I am so confident. Listen, listen, listen, okay, so no next week because rutabaga (and not that Monday because having another Monday flunk is laaaame) and the weeks after are way to late, no way they pull a late flunk on us again. Professors weren't happy with it being so late last year and while, ya know, sucks to suck, the professors also had a point and I doubt they'll do it again.<br />
<br />
Someone I know who is involved in Flunk Day planning was very adamant that it would not be the 3rd or the 4th. It could be a ruse, and I'm hoping it is because I really don't want another week 8 or 9 flunk...<br />
?<br />
<br />
It has to be today I feel it in my bone(r)s.<br />
<br />
On Campus interviews for the Athletic Director are May 4, May 9, and May 10. The Deans knew the date of flunk day when the scheduled these interviews.<br />
<br />
^^any chance some of those dates could be fake? Or how much do you know about the on campus interviews<br />
<br />
^^ I feel the interview sessions are something the school is willing to overlap flunk with<br />
<br />
^ True. If the interviews are taking place in, say, Alumni Hall, interviewees should be able to get here and undergo the interview process without much interruption from Flunk festivities.<br />
<br />
^^ but the staff that is in charge of running flunk is in charge of running the interviews? how they gonna do both?<br />
<br />
^ tis not true. flunk is student development and campus life which would not be who hires for athletics<br />
<br />
is anyone scouting for trucks yet?<br />
<br />
I didn't see any trucks :/<br />
<br />
An Angel revealed to me in a dream that this is flunk day<br />
<br />
this was the perfect day for it, the weathers gonna be trash on monday<br />
<br />
I'm so over this tbh, so so disappointed it wasn't today :/ yeah idk what's wrong with the planners trying to push it as close to finals as humanly possible. It's extremely stressful :/<br />
<br />
☹<br />
<br />
today (may 4) would've been the ideal flunk day. planners seriously fumbled the bag on this one. the only way they can make it better is by doing the unheard of Friday Flunk.... sincerely doubt it and have feeling it'll be Monday of week 8 once a-fucking-gain. why would they do this??? flunk 2024 planners I hope you see this and remember NO ONE WANTS LATE FLUNK. NO ONE WANTS MONDAY FLUNK. WE WANT EARLY FLUNK FOR ONCE SO ITS ACTUALLY A SURPRISE.<br />
<br />
This years graduating class will never have the experience of not having to slog through 4 days of classes (finals prep classes nonetheless) after Flunk Day. I wonder if the motivation behind why this keeps happening lies in wanting people who are going to drink to not drink as much? Regardless, it's taking the fun out of it completely. <br />
<br />
Admin, take notes. We are NOT happy.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2023 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Friday Flunk? Maybe in response to everything else that has gone wrong this year, they'll let us Friday Flunk!<br />
<br />
the aliens opens this night so no but come see the aliens in harbach at 7:30!!<br />
<br />
Horizons also this day, wouldn’t overlap since so many students have to present<br />
<br />
==May 8, 2023 (Mon)==<br />
Week 8<br />
<br />
Myrissa flunk day planner doesnt work RA job may 8th, 9th or 10th<br />
<br />
Hearing a lot of speculation, but I personally find it highly unlikely they will do three Mondays in a row, as well as having it on Monday of week 8 twice in a row.<br />
<br />
If they won't do it on Wed May 3 because of Blessing, Brews, and Blues AND McGadney's thing, AND they can't do it the 4th, 9th, or 10th because of the Athletic Director interviews. This is the ONLY day left that isn't Rootabega or Week 9. Monday Flunk Confirmed.<br />
<br />
Sigh. Beyond sick of the Monday Flunks. This might be the first time in Flunk History it’s on the same day 3 years in a row, and it’s like the worst day to to have it, still got the whole rest of the week to go when it’s over<br />
<br />
Isn't monday the trio banquet tho??<br />
<br />
^ no one from TRIO has actually sent out an rsvp form or an email about the banquet, which they usually do a week before the banquet every year. Pretty sus...<br />
<br />
it’s on their posters and they are advertising to people in meetings, it’s on their calendar<br />
<br />
TRIO banquet rsvp was sent out at the beginning of term to the trio dist list<br />
<br />
it would be so boring if they passed up thursday to do a repeat of last year<br />
<br />
TRIO banquet is not a reason for Flunk Day to not happen on monday<br />
<br />
istg if it is today I will be severely disappointed. Thursday the 4th should've been flunk, the weather is supposed to suck all of week 8<br />
<br />
No other option at this point. What a letdown. Just hoping the storms will hold off, at least.<br />
<br />

Jake McClean claims it is on this day<br />
<br />
^Monday of week NINE? If this is true I think many people would be over it by this point, not to mention already working on final projects/papers so it would be an inconvenience as well. I can't imagine the professors would be happy about it, either. Would there be a rationale behind doing it so late? I know in 2021 it was due to covid, but now it seems like they would be doing it just to be mean.<br />

[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
I choose to believe. Lots of rumors for this day.<br />
<br />
Guest speaker coming for history department, very likely not today.<br />
<br />
They gave the guest speaker an additional time on Wednesday? Why else would they do that if not for Flunk<br />
<br />
I feel like there hasn't been a lot of talk about Flunk being today... If the only conflict is the guest speaker... I don't know. Thursday seems a little obvious. Maybe they're trying to catch us off guard. Besides, who knows if they even registered the speaker with the planners.<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you mean by “They gave the guest speaker an additional time on Wednesday?” ??? Nothing on the calendar<br />
<br />
no flunk today :(<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2023 (Wed)==<br />
I feel a May 3rd flunk in my bones (I have been informed that this is BBB, my bones were wrong)<br />
<br />
There was an RA meeting scheduled for this day that Amanda postponed without explanation<br />
<br />
Blessing blues and brews is also on this day so no may 3 flunk<br />
<br />
After a significant time suppling ChatGPT with information about flunk day and its history, <br />
one student was successful in getting ChatGPT to make a flunk day prediction. <br />
ChatGPT took data from past years, previous flunk day dates, knowledge of widely accepted <br />
acceptable date parameters, and access to one of the flunk day planner's calendar in order <br />
to make its prediction. May 3rd, 2023 was the Open AI's Flunk Day prediction.<br />
<br />
Listen y'all, it has to be the third, its just too good! Monday is too predictable, Tuesday<br />
and Thursday classes are a pain to reschedule and I feel like the planners are nice and will<br />
consider that (total assumption but listen, okay, it makes sense), and it can't be next week <br />
because rutabaga runs Tuesday --> Friday and following the "it wont be Monday three times in<br />
a row" rule, it has to be the 3rd. The week after rutabaga is way too late and they wouldn't<br />
do that to us twice in a row, would they? No. May 3rd. Mark your calendars!<br />
<br />
^two problems with the may 3 theory: one, blessings blues and brews, which would be a complete pain to reschedule since it's a student-run event in a rented space that is advertised to the Galesburg community (and it's Blessing's primary fundraiser) and the McGadney Community Dinner on the 3rd, which would be horrendous optics to announce and then be forced to reschedule because of flunk (esp since McGadney knows when flunk day is and can schedule his events around it).<br />
<br />
no flunk today ):<br />
<br />
friar sign up email just got sent out 👀 seems a bit last minute<br />
<br />
Fac/Staff volunteer email went out today.<br />
<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Myrissa planner ra hint look at jake calendar... jake calendar say he "out of office" on this day....... sussy....<br />
<br />
May the 4th be with you....Flunk Wars?<br />
<br />
False Flunk email 1st anniversary. Who's taking one for the team this year?<br />
<br />
i feel it in my hearts of hearts... just manifesting<br />
<br />
Because they haven’t released the theme yet, I feel like it’s going to be today and that it’s going to be Flunk Wars: Return of the Flunk in honor of the anniversary of Return of the Jedi<br />
<br />
If it's not May third, it's 100% May 4th. I'll bet my life savings on this I am so confident. Listen, listen, listen, okay, so no next week because rutabaga (and not that Monday because having another Monday flunk is laaaame) and the weeks after are way to late, no way they pull a late flunk on us again. Professors weren't happy with it being so late last year and while, ya know, sucks to suck, the professors also had a point and I doubt they'll do it again.<br />
<br />
Someone I know who is involved in Flunk Day planning was very adamant that it would not be the 3rd or the 4th. It could be a ruse, and I'm hoping it is because I really don't want another week 8 or 9 flunk...<br />
?<br />
<br />
It has to be today I feel it in my bone(r)s.<br />
<br />
On Campus interviews for the Athletic Director are May 4, May 9, and May 10. The Deans knew the date of flunk day when the scheduled these interviews.<br />
<br />
^^any chance some of those dates could be fake? Or how much do you know about the on campus interviews<br />
<br />
^^ I feel the interview sessions are something the school is willing to overlap flunk with<br />
<br />
^ True. If the interviews are taking place in, say, Alumni Hall, interviewees should be able to get here and undergo the interview process without much interruption from Flunk festivities.<br />
<br />
^^ but the staff that is in charge of running flunk is in charge of running the interviews? how they gonna do both?<br />
<br />
^ tis not true. flunk is student development and campus life which would not be who hires for athletics<br />
<br />
is anyone scouting for trucks yet?<br />
<br />
I didn't see any trucks :/<br />
<br />
An Angel revealed to me in a dream that this is flunk day<br />
<br />
this was the perfect day for it, the weathers gonna be trash on monday<br />
<br />
I'm so over this tbh, so so disappointed it wasn't today :/ yeah idk what's wrong with the planners trying to push it as close to finals as humanly possible. It's extremely stressful :/<br />
<br />
:(<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2023 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Friday Flunk? Maybe in response to everything else that has gone wrong this year, they'll let us Friday Flunk!<br />
<br />
the aliens opens this night so no but come see the aliens in harbach at 7:30!!<br />
<br />
Horizons also this day, wouldn’t overlap since so many students have to present<br />
<br />
==May 8, 2023 (Mon)==<br />
Week 8<br />
<br />
Myrissa flunk day planner doesnt work RA job may 8th, 9th or 10th<br />
<br />
Hearing a lot of speculation, but I personally find it highly unlikely they will do three Mondays in a row, as well as having it on Monday of week 8 twice in a row.<br />
<br />
If they won't do it on Wed May 3 because of Blessing, Brews, and Blues AND McGadney's thing, AND they can't do it the 4th, 9th, or 10th because of the Athletic Director interviews. This is the ONLY day left that isn't Rootabega or Week 9. Monday Flunk Confirmed.<br />
<br />
Sigh. Beyond sick of the Monday Flunks. This might be the first time in Flunk History it’s on the same day 3 years in a row, and it’s like the worst day to to have it, still got the whole rest of the week to go when it’s over<br />
<br />
Isn't monday the trio banquet tho??<br />
<br />
^ no one from TRIO has actually sent out an rsvp form or an email about the banquet, which they usually do a week before the banquet every year. Pretty sus...<br />
<br />
it’s on their posters and they are advertising to people in meetings, it’s on their calendar<br />
<br />
TRIO banquet rsvp was sent out at the beginning of term to the trio dist list<br />
<br />
it would be so boring if they passed up thursday to do a repeat of last year<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2023 (Tue)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always said Flunk Day would be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers was always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9. May he rest in peace :( <br />

Jake McClean claims it is on this day<br />
<br />
^Monday of week NINE? If this is true I think many people would be over it by this point, not to mention already working on final projects/papers so it would be an inconvenience as well. I can't imagine the professors would be happy about it, either. Would there be a rationale behind doing it so late? I know in 2021 it was due to covid, but now it seems like they would be doing it just to be mean.<br />

<br />
Happy first day of spring term everyone! BE ADVISED: Tomorrow is Flunk Day! Get your borgs and corgs (which could either mean cup-borgs or slang for corgi's) ready!<br />

Greetings First-years!!!! Welcome to the longest standing concurrent Knox tradition! Flunk day is an amazing day filled with games, activities, free swag, and all kinds of beautiful people showing off how much they can hold down without throwing up...and then how quick they can recover after throwing up. <br />
<br />
One of the most exciting parts of Flunk Day isn't Flunk Day at all, but the mystery leading up to it! Use this forum to post predictions, comments, and hype about Flunk Day as the time gets closer. Quick reminders: Be nice, be respectful, and it's never on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Admitted Students' Day (yeah I use the Oxford comma, come at me). <br />
<br />
Can't wait to see you all soon! And remember...<br />
<br />
TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY!<br />

Listen y'all, it has to be the third, its just too good! Monday is too predictable, Tuesday<br />
and Thursday classes are a pain to reschedule and I feel like the planners are nice and will<br />
consider that (total assumption but listen, okay, it makes sense), and it can't be next week <br />
because rutabaga runs Tuesday --> Friday and following the "it wont be Monday three times in<br />
a row" rule, it has to be the 3rd. The week after rutabaga is way too late and they wouldn't<br />
do that to us twice in a row, would they? No. May 3rd. Mark your calendars!<br />
<br />
^two problems with the may 3 theory: one, blessings blues and brews, which would be a complete pain to reschedule since it's a student-run event in a rented space that is advertised to the Galesburg community (and it's Blessing's primary fundraiser) and the McGadney Community Dinner on the 3rd, which would be horrendous optics to announce and then be forced to reschedule because of flunk (esp since McGadney knows when flunk day is and can schedule his events around it).<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
<br />
May the 4th be with you....Flunk Wars?<br />
<br />
False Flunk email 1st anniversary. Who's taking one for the team this year?<br />
<br />
i feel it in my hearts of hearts... just manifesting<br />
<br />
Because they haven’t released the theme yet, I feel like it’s going to be today and that it’s going to be Flunk Wars: Return of the Flunk in honor of the anniversary of Return of the Jedi<br />
<br />
If it's not May third, it's 100% May 4th. I'll bet my life savings on this I am so confident. Listen, listen, listen, okay, so no next week because rutabaga (and not that Monday because having another Monday flunk is laaaame) and the weeks after are way to late, no way they pull a late flunk on us again. Professors weren't happy with it being so late last year and while, ya know, sucks to suck, the professors also had a point and I doubt they'll do it again.<br />
<br />
Someone I know who is involved in Flunk Day planning was very adamant that it would not be the 3rd or the 4th. It could be a ruse, and I'm hoping it is because I really don't want another week 8 or 9 flunk...<br />
?<br />
<br />
It has to be today I feel it in my bone(r)s.<br />
<br />
On Campus interviews for the Athletic Director are May 4, May 9, and May 10. The Deans knew the date of flunk day when the scheduled these interviews.<br />
<br />
^^any chance some of those dates could be fake? Or how much do you know about the on campus interviews<br />
<br />
^^ I feel the interview sessions are something the school is willing to overlap flunk with<br />

Week 8<br />
<br />
Myrissa flunk day planner doesnt work RA job may 8th, 9th or 10th<br />
<br />
Hearing a lot of speculation, but I personally find it highly unlikely they will do three Mondays in a row, as well as having it on Monday of week 8 twice in a row.<br />
<br />
If they won't do it on Wed May 3 because of Blessing, Brews, and Blues AND McGadney's thing, AND they can't do it the 4th, 9th, or 10th because of the Athletic Director interviews. This is the ONLY day left that isn't Rootabega or Week 9. Monday Flunk Confirmed.<br />
<br />
Sigh. Beyond sick of the Monday Flunks. This might be the first time in Flunk History it’s on the same day 3 years in a row, and it’s like the worst day to to have it, still got the whole rest of the week to go when it’s over<br />
<br />
Isn't monday the trio banquet tho??<br />

Greetings First-years!!!! Welcome to the longest standing concurrent Knox tradition! Flunk day is an amazing day filled with games, activities, free swag, and all kinds of beautiful people showing off how much they can hold down without throwing up...and then how quick they can recover after throwing up. <br />
<br />
One of the most exciting parts of Flunk Day isn't Flunk Day at all, but the mystery leading up to it! Use this forum to post predictions, comments, and hype about Flunk Day as the time gets closer. Quick reminders: Be nice, be respectful, and it's never on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Admitted Students' Day (yeah I use the Oxford comma, come at me). <br />

Can't wait to see you all soon! And remember...<br />

to make its prediction. May 3rd, 2023 was the Open AI's Flunk Day prediction.<br />

When asked about schedule changes for Flunk Day, Professor Stuart Allison said "Flunk Day we flunk." and by god is he right.<br />
<br />
Happy first day of spring term everyone! BE ADVISED: Tomorrow is Flunk Day! Get your borgs and corgs (which could either mean cup-borgs or slang for corgi's) ready!<br />
<br />
no borgs, Flunk Jugs only<br />
<br />
First Day of Ramadan, will not be 3/22-4/20<br />

Greetings First-years!!!! Welcome to the longest standing concurrent Knox tradition! Flunk day is an amazing day filled with games, activities, free swag, and all kinds of beautiful people showing off how much they can hold down without throwing up...and then how quick they can recover after throwing up. <br />
<br />
One of the most exciting parts of Flunk Day isn't Flunk Day at all, but the mystery leading up to it! Use this forum to post predictions, comments, and hype about Flunk Day as the time gets closer. Quick reminders: Be nice, be respectful, and it's never on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Admitted Students' Day (yeah I use the Oxford comma, come at me). <br />
<br />
Can't wait to see you all soon! And remember...<br />
<br />
TOMORROW IS FLUNK DAY!<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday since 1957 or something will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
===Time Log===<br />
2:10 am - A guy was totally witnessed walking down a street.<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<-----does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<----it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
I feel strongly about today<br />
<br />
person on YikYak (camera icon) claiming to know for sure its today<br />
<br />
no sports listed for this whole week<br />
<br />
The person who did the Incident (see above) was told they have to meet with admin on Monday. Why would they schedule this meeting if that’s the real flunk?<br />
<----OR they INTENTIONALLY scheduled the meeting for flunk day to mess with their plans<br />
<br />
*SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT: MarQuita Barker's (VP of Student Development) Calender has a massive event book ALL day on Monday. I'm not saying Flunk Day confirmed, but...FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED. PROOF: https://imgur.com/a/bMFLsw9<br />
*DUDE, that could be ANYONE'S calendar.<br />
*Has is occurred to you that you could see MarQuita's calendar, yourself, to double check, you clown?<br />
<br />
I'm a Monday May 9th Flunk Truther now.<br />
<br />
There is no way in ~HELL~ it's today<br />
<br />
I heard that it will for sure be this week. Monday seems like the most likely.<br />
<br />
Admission has visitors. Flunk denied<br />
<br />
^^Admissions actually WILL tour prospies on flunk day! They just make the admission counselors do it ;)<br />
<br />
THE BEANS ARE SOAKING<br />
<br />
TRUCKS AT AMERICINN - FLUNK DAY CONFIRMED - the zipline is there ! ! !<br />
<br />
proof: https://i.imgur.com/B588Rdq.jpeg<br />
<br />
^confirmed<br />
<br />
any other trucks? not saying i don't believe you but usually there's more than that - there were more, the usual Penske rental trucks they get. There were 2 of those.<br />
<br />
Isn't that last year's photo?????????<br />
<br />
Someone posted a pic of them in front of the truck!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
There's a fulbright information session on this day, which seems like they wouldn't put Flunk Day here. It's reschedulable, sure, but still seems important ENOUGH to be considered.<br />
^ there was a Fulbright event before and an upcoming one close by.<br />
<br />
Spanish translation class has interviews this day. Would suck if they had to miss Flunk for it.<br />
<br />
There are also interviews for a new director of counseling so it doesn’t seem likely that it’s today…<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
^Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
===Blessings in a Backpack Debate===<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
^^^this. baseball got shafted a couple years back, they were at an away game during Flunk<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
The BiB event is more for upperclassmen and townies (21+) so its not going to change flunk day<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
we have educational consultants coming this day. for sure no flunk<br />
<br />
SUPER doubt it, they want to maintain a respectable image for homecoming and a campus of drunk students is risky...<br />
<br />
if it's a Thursday flunk we need to keep stockpiling. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday party baby!!!!<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />
<br />
cum see Bright Half Life in Studio Theatre! doors open @7, show starts @7:30<br />
<br />
educational consultants visiting, no Flunk<br />
<br />
yeah its not gonna be a homecoming Flunk besties sorry :/<br />
<br />
if its this late I s2g I'm asking for my money back. i don't care if I'm doing 5th year free this would be unforgivable<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />

==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />

This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />

This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />

SOMEONE PRETENDED TO BE DEB SOUTHERN FOR A FAKEOUT FLUNK EMAIL. It is from a Knox Edu google group.<br />
<br />
^<br />
Greatest flunk scare in history, but a flunk scare nonetheless. Well played to whoever did it<br />
<br />
^^ now I actually have to go to my 8am class :(<br />
<br />
Yikyak has said that the culprit has been caught. Any guesses on who did it?<br />
<br />
I heard that it was a freshman working with a couple of CS major seniors???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11:26 PM: NO sign of trucks, climbing walls, or even a raptor. Flunk day is nowhere in sight<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday since 1957 or something will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />

[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<-----does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<----it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
I feel strongly about today<br />
<br />
person on YikYak (camera icon) claiming to know for sure its today<br />
<br />
no sports listed for this whole week<br />
<br />
The person who did the Incident (see above) was told they have to meet with admin on Monday. Why would they schedule this meeting if that’s the real flunk?<br />
<----OR they INTENTIONALLY scheduled the meeting for flunk day to mess with their plans<br />

<br />
I heard that it will for sure be this week. Monday seems like the most likely.<br />
<br />
Admission has visitors. Flunk denied<br />
<br />
^^Admissions actually WILL tour prospies on flunk day! They just make the admission counselors do it ;)<br />
<br />
THE BEANS ARE SOAKING<br />

[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
There's a fulbright information session on this day, which seems like they wouldn't put Flunk Day here. It's reschedulable, sure, but still seems important ENOUGH to be considered.<br />
^ there was a Fulbright event before and an upcoming one close by.<br />
<br />
Spanish translation class has interviews this day. Would suck if they had to miss Flunk for it.<br />
<br />
There are also interviews for a new director of counseling so it doesn’t seem likely that it’s today…<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
^Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
===Blessings in a Backpack Debate===<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
^^^this. baseball got shafted a couple years back, they were at an away game during Flunk<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
The BiB event is more for upperclassmen and townies (21+) so its not going to change flunk day<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
we have educational consultants coming this day. for sure no flunk<br />
<br />
SUPER doubt it, they want to maintain a respectable image for homecoming and a campus of drunk students is risky...<br />
<br />
if it's a Thursday flunk we need to keep stockpiling. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday party baby!!!!<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />
<br />
cum see Bright Half Life in Studio Theatre! doors open @7, show starts @7:30<br />
<br />
educational consultants visiting, no Flunk<br />
<br />
yeah its not gonna be a homecoming Flunk besties sorry :/<br />
<br />
if its this late I s2g I'm asking for my money back. i don't care if I'm doing 5th year free this would be unforgivable<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />

This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />

Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />

^its wayyyy too late for them to be stocking up if its 5/4<br />

=== The Incident ===<br />
<br />
SOMEONE PRETENDED TO BE DEB SOUTHERN FOR A FAKEOUT FLUNK EMAIL. It is from a Knox Edu google group.<br />
<br />
^<br />
Greatest flunk scare in history, but a flunk scare nonetheless. Well played to whoever did it<br />
<br />
^^ now I actually have to go to my 8am class :(<br />
<br />
Yikyak has said that the culprit has been caught. Any guesses on who did it?<br />
<br />
I heard that it was a freshman working with a couple of CS major seniors???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11:26 PM: NO sign of trucks, climbing walls, or even a raptor. Flunk day is nowhere in sight<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />

<br />
not the real president baby<br />

==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<br />
it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
I feel strongly about today<br />
<br />
person on YikYak (camera icon) claiming to know for sure its today<br />
<br />
no sports listed for this whole week<br />
<br />
The person who did the Incident (see above) was told they have to meet with admin on Monday. Why would they schedule this meeting if that’s the real flunk?<br />
<br />
^ OR they INTENTIONALLY scheduled the meeting for flunk day to mess with their plans<br />

<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
^^^this. baseball got shafted a couple years back, they were at an away game during Flunk<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
The BiB event is more for upperclassmen and townies (21+) so its not going to change flunk day<br />

I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
we have educational consultants coming this day. for sure no flunk<br />
<br />
SUPER doubt it, they want to maintain a respectable image for homecoming and a campus of drunk students is risky...<br />

<br />
yeah its not gonna be a homecoming Flunk besties sorry :/<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />
<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />

==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />

I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
^its wayyyy too late for them to be stocking up if its 5/4<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />
^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it<br />

It was Kathryn Allee<br />
<br />
*["The Night After Flunk Day" Poem was put here for some reason.]*<br />

^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
people on yikyak claiming to find trucks but refusing to post pictures lol<br />
<br />
today is the RA new/old training. as I have first hand experience with how hard it is to reschedule stuff I think there is no flunk<br />

<br />
SOMEONE PRETENDED TO BE DEB SOUTHERN FOR A FAKEOUT FLUNK EMAIL. It is from a Knox Edu google group.<br />
<br />
^<br />
Greatest flunk scare in history, but a flunk scare nonetheless. Well played to whoever did it<br />
<br />
^^ now I actually have to go to my 8am class :(<br />
<br />
Yikyak has said that the culprit has been caught. Any guesses on who did it?<br />
<br />
I heard that it was a freshman working with a couple of CS major seniors???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11:26 PM: NO sign of trucks, climbing walls, or even a raptor. Flunk day is nowhere in sight<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<br />
it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
I feel strongly about today<br />

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
^^^this. baseball got shafted a couple years back, they were at an away game during Flunk<br />

People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />

<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />

<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
Stout listed on his syllabus for Econ 303 that the Flunk Day window is April 27-May 11, so nothing before this date.<br />

Eid al-Fitr ends this evening<br />

Doubling down, I had a dream last night about Flunk Day being on this day<br />
<br />
i think everyone thinks it’s week 8 but it might actually be week 7 (this week)<br />

Surprise surprise it’s may 3rd flunk<br />
<br />

<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
^its wayyyy too late for them to be stocking up if its 5/4<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />
^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it<br />
<br />
It was Kathryn Allee<br />
<br />
*["The Night After Flunk Day" Poem was put here for some reason.]*<br />
<br />
^^wrong poem??<br />
^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
people on yikyak claiming to find trucks but refusing to post pictures lol<br />
<br />
today is the RA new/old training. as I have first hand experience with how hard it is to reschedule stuff I think there is no flunk<br />
<br />
Flunk Day trucks SPOTTED at Green Oaks Biological Field Station!!!!!!! First groaks flunk??? Could be big..........................................<br />
<br />
<br />
Rock wall spotted near monmouth!!!!!CONFIRMED<br />

=== The Incident ===<br />
<br />
SOMEONE PRETENDED TO BE DEB SOUTHERN FOR A FAKEOUT FLUNK EMAIL. It is from a Knox Edu google group.<br />
<br />
^<br />
Greatest flunk scare in history, but a flunk scare nonetheless. Well played to whoever did it<br />
<br />
^^ now I actually have to go to my 8am class :(<br />
<br />
Yikyak has said that the culprit has been caught. Any guesses on who did it?<br />
<br />
I heard that it was a freshman working with a couple of CS major seniors???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11:26 PM: NO sign of trucks, climbing walls, or even a raptor. Flunk day is nowhere in sight<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<br />
it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
I feel strongly about today<br />

A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim) <lies<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
^^^this. baseball got shafted a couple years back, they were at an away game during Flunk<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
The BiB event is more for upperclassmen and townies (21+) so its not going to change flunk day<br />
<br />

<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
we have educational consultants coming this day. for sure no flunk<br />
<br />
SUPER doubt it, they want to maintain a respectable image for homecoming and a campus of drunk students is risky...<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />
<br />
cum see Bright Half Life in Studio Theatre! doors open @7, show starts @7:30<br />

<br />
yeah its not gonna be a homecoming Flunk besties sorry :/<br />

4/20 flunk blaze it<br />

I think this campus would explode if this happened but I’m here for it<br />
<br />
It's going to be this day because this is the one day I don't want it to happen.<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />

Happy countdown<br />

<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />

<br />
^its wayyyy too late for them to be stocking up if its 5/4<br />

^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />

^<br />
Greatest flunk scare in history, but a flunk scare nonetheless. Well played to whoever did it<br />
<br />
^^ now I actually have to go to my 8am class :(<br />
<br />
Yikyak has said that the culprit has been caught. Any guesses on who did it?<br />
<br />
I heard that it was a freshman working with a couple of CS major seniors???<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11:26 PM: NO sign of trucks, climbing walls, or even a raptor. Flunk day is nowhere in sight<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<br />
it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
I feel strongly about today<br />
<br />
==May 10, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim) <lies<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
The BiB event is more for upperclassmen and townies (21+) so its not going to change flunk day<br />
<br />

<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
we have educational consultants coming this day. for sure no flunk<br />
<br />
SUPER doubt it, they want to maintain a respectable image for homecoming and a campus of drunk students is risky...<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />
<br />
cum see Bright Half Life in Studio Theatre! doors open @7, show starts @7:30<br />
<br />
educational consultants visiting, no Flunk<br />
<br />
yeah its not gonna be a homecoming Flunk besties sorry :/<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

<br />
<br />
11:26 PM: NO sign of trucks, climbing walls, or even a raptor. Flunk day is nowhere in sight<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
hear me out they moved president inauguration to the orpheum so that it’s fine if drunk people trash campus or ruin the stage or something on thursday flunk<br />
<br />
- 12:08 AM: I seriously doubt it's going to be today, but hey, maybe there will be another =incident=.<br />
<br />
- 2:10 PM: yeah, hahaha called it. Although, the lawns are mowed and I have seen it raining a lot, so maybe the first flunk friday will be tomorrow?<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
nothing of importance is scheduled this day, this is the one<br />
<br />
could def be today... after inaguration but still time to recover before homecoming<br />
<br />
God it better be a Monday Wednesday or Friday, I work at 8am those days I don't need a TT flunk making me show up to work hungover<br />
<br />
it's not gonna be friday lol<br />
<br />
i feel strongly about today<br />

A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim) <lies<br />

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />

<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />

<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
^ I asked Charlie if Flunk Day was May 11th and his little tail was extra wiggly. Flunk Day confirmed!<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
The BiB event is more for upperclassmen and townies (21+) so its not going to change flunk day<br />

<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
we have educational consultants coming this day. for sure no flunk<br />
<br />
SUPER doubt it, they want to maintain a respectable image for homecoming and a campus of drunk students is risky...<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />
<br />
cum see Bright Half Life in Studio Theatre! doors open @7, show starts @7:30<br />
<br />
educational consultants visiting, no Flunk<br />
<br />
yeah its not gonna be a homecoming Flunk besties sorry :/<br />
<br />
if its this late I s2g I'm asking for my money back. i don't care if I'm doing 5th year free this would be unforgivable<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />

==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />

This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />

'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
When good children lay<br />
<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />
<br />
feels like a fake out<br />

I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />

Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
^its wayyyy too late for them to be stocking up if its 5/4<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />
^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it<br />
<br />
It was Kathryn Allee<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
Must come to a close<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />
<br />
^^wrong poem??<br />
^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
people on yikyak claiming to find trucks but refusing to post pictures lol<br />
<br />
today is the RA new/old training. as I have first hand experience with how hard it is to reschedule stuff I think there is no flunk<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />

<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
Stout listed on his syllabus for Econ 303 that the Flunk Day window is April 27-May 11, so nothing before this date.<br />

Surprise surprise it’s may 3rd flunk<br />
<br />
Baseball game listed for today<br />
<br />
^^ this is the last weekday sports event for the year<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
When good children lay<br />
<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />
==May 4, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Star Wars Flunk<br />
<br />
Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?<br />
<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />
^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it<br />
<br />
It was Kathryn Allee<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
Must come to a close<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />
<br />
^^wrong poem??<br />
^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
people on yikyak claiming to find trucks but refusing to post pictures lol<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />

<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim)<br />
<br />

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />

I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />

I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />

I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />

'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
When good children lay<br />
<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />

Star Wars Flunk<br />

Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?<br />
<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />
^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it<br />
<br />
It was Kathryn Allee<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
Must come to a close<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />
<br />
^^wrong poem??<br />
^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />

[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />

<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim)<br />
<br />

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />

I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
homecoming does need some set up time, and they can't exactly get started during flunk day<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />

<div>'''Sigma Nu''' is so hot right now. So hot right now, '''Sigma Nu'''. Sigma Nu, the honor fraternity, was founded in 1869 at Virginia Military Institute. For 120 years, the Delta Theta chapter at Knox has been a prominent leader in academics, sports, and community service. Today, Sigma Nu’s mission continues to be to develop ethical and honorable leaders of society through the development of the minds, hearts and characters of its members. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Snu_Coatofarms.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Coat of Arms of Sigma Nu]]<br />
<br />
== History in Galesburg ==<br />
The second oldest chapter of a fraternity at Knox College after Beta Theta Pi (1855), Sigma Nu was originally founded as Delta Theta, a local fraternity at nearby Lombard College in 1867. In 1891, Delta Theta became affiliated with the national fraternity Sigma Nu. The chapter was allowed to keep Delta Theta as its chapter designation despite it being out of sequence with the other national chapters, one of only two Sigma Nu chapters allowed to do so. When Lombard College closed in 1930 and students transferred to Knox, Delta Theta moved to Knox as well, and has been active at Knox ever since. Delta Theta has been continuously active since 1867––two years before the founding of the Sigma Nu national organization in 1869. The longest continuously running chapter of a fraternity at Knox (as Beta was inactive for a number of years), Delta Theta is also the oldest continuously running chapter of Sigma Nu in the world.<br />

<br />
Loved by some, tolerated by others.<br />
<br />
Known to Larp on Campus, instigate great heckling, adorable hijinks, and fantastic group dances. <br />
<br />
Always expect greatness. You will receive it.<br />
<br />
== Chapter House ==<br />
<br />
The Sigma Nu chapter house (or ''''SNouse'''') is located at 556 S. West Street across from the [[Quad]] loading dock. It is the smallest chapter house of any fraternity at Knox by square footage, and has the lowest housing capacity of all fraternity houses at Knox, housing 11 brothers. <br />
<br />
The Sigma Nu house may be scrappy, but the brothers have put a lot of work into it (no, really, they're working on it all the time). It's full of pleasant surprises, and is considered by many to be the most unique of the fraternity houses. Some views of the house are presented on this page. It is unknown how SNu will get a new house, only that it will be epic. <br />

* [[List of Current and Former Sigma Nus]]<br />
<br />
== Parties ==<br />
While Sigma Nu is an important part of members' social lives, Sigma Nus don't tend to rely as much on the fraternity for their social activities, and have more friends outside of Sigma Nu. As a result, there are typically fewer "unofficial" parties at Sigma Nu.<br />
<br />
At registered parties there is often dancing, but the dance floor is seldom packed for the entire party, save for Tunak at midnight - at which point, prepared to get uncomfortably sweaty. The glasses of a Sigma Nu have been known to have accidentally been broken during many a Tunak. Exceptions occur--the 80s dance party of [[2005-06]] and the "James Bond Party" on April 20, 2007 are prime examples of this. <br />
<br />
Parties throughout the year include "[[Sunrise]]" and "[[Sunset]]" at the beginning and end of the year respectively (formerly "Tequila Sunrise" and "-Sunset"), "[[Sigma boo|Sigma Boo]]", a Halloween party, a Valentine's Day party, and many others. Themes in recent years have included "No Sex," "Party With A Heart On," "[[Silly Hats]]," "Snowpocalypse," "Soviet Snunion," "Frat Party," "Teresa Amott Installation After-Party," "Sigma, Like, Whatever," "Post-Meta Party,", [[Government Shutdown Party]],<br />
"10PM-2AM No Alcohol Knox ID Required Music and Dancing Party featuring Music and Dancing."<br />
<br />
SNu parties have two floors open to campus with a dance floor on the first floor and movie and/or video games and snacks on the second floor- cookies, chips, WATER, soda, and/or candy. <br />
<br />
Sigma Nu wants to make sure that people feel comfortable at their parties. Communication is key - if something's up, get hold of someone you identify as a SNu! Jerks will be banished from the party. Being a meanie is not tolerated. You can also ask a SNu for a walk home if you feel unsafe.<br />
<br />
SNu parties are the best parties.<br />
SNu parties are the safest parties.<br />

At some point during a Snu party, now typically at midnight, all members will come to the dance floor to do a ridiculous dance to the equally ridiculous song, "Tunak Tunak Tun," by Daler Mehndi. Thanks go out to Brother Akshat Agarwal for introducing to the chapter another means of making completed arses out of ourselves. Though many have attempted to translate the text, we still don't know what we're dancing to...or even why.<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day]] Sigma Nus do the "Tunak" dance in the middle of West Street in front of their house. However on [[Flunk Day 2007]], a fire truck was in the way, so the SNus and their friends did the Tunak dance for the firemen.<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day 2010]] the Sigma Nus (and assorted guests) attempted their typical Tunak in the street, however, six or more Campus Safety officers approached, so the ritual was moved to the front lawn. [[John Perleberg]] gracefully handled the "situation" and the party continued.<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day 2010]] the Sigma Nus attained roughly 4-5 (that they admit to) campus safety reports, making it truly one epic Flunk Day!!!<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day 2013]] SNu succeeded in dancing "Tunak" three full times on South West Street, at various times in the day, without earning a Campus Safety report (at least not for Tunaking). Campus Safety Director [[John Schlaf]] referred to the third dance as "almost impressive" and gently reminded SNu not to do that anymore.<br />
<br />
In spring 2014, the first ever "sitting Tunak" was performed in the [[Sun Room]]. Like other Tunak dances, it was pretty silly.<br />
<br />
Due to a combination of unseasonably hot weather and the achievement of maximum dance floor capacity, the Tunak of SUNRISE 2014 went down in history as the wettest Tunak ever undertaken.<br />
<br />
Tunak has since been exported to a number of other locations on campus, usually when 3 or more SNu's get together in one place; music is not required. On rare occasions, Tunak also reaches locations beyond the Knox College campus.<br />
<br />
Sometime during 2013-2014 school year, Tunak came full circle (so to speak), as Brother Joe Seidman performed a Tunak with several locals during his internship in India. He received many compliments on his Tunaking skills.<br />
<br />
During winter break 2014, a vacationing Carly Taylor met with [[Emily Passarelli]], several other members of Marine Bio's 2014 research trip, and some random strangers to perform the first documented Belizean Tunak. <br />
<br />
Brothers also Tunak on the front lawn to celebrate special occasions such as the activation of their newest brothers, which is often heartily disapproved of by the Yik Yak community. Brothers also celebrate their senior-year birthdays with "the Twenty-Twonak," a normal Tunak in the house's front room immediately followed by dancing (poorly) to Taylor Swift's "22."<br />
<br />
===Sigma Nu: The Band===<br />
Sigma Nu performed Tenacious D's "Explosivo" at the [[Greek Week No-Talent Show]] in 2007. The band included [[Mike Hahn]] on acoustic guitar, [[Alex Enyart]] on electric, [[Rohel Terrazas]] on bass, and [[David Nolan]] playing a [[Guitar Hero]] controller.<br />
<br />
There was a revival of the Sigma Nu band during the 2011 [[Greek Week No-Talent Show]], when [[Cody Ward]] melted the Greek system's face with a blistering Jazz Sax solo.<br />
<br />
Porch Band was also a thing. It needs to return.<br />
<br />
== Inter-fraternity Beef ==<br />
<br />
Sigma Nu doesn't have any beef or rivalry with any of the other fraternities. This is due to the fact that SNus are generally a pretty innocuous group of nice guys that don't start shit. SNus only hit the Start button.<br />
<br />
[[Sigma Wars]] are an event that oft transpires between the Glorious Sigma Nu's and the not as glorious [[Sigma Chi]]'s. Hijinks, pranks, and shenanigans. On July 4th, 2019, Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi held their first ever joint event, the Sigmapendence Day cookout. A good, wholesome time was had by all.<br />

<div>'''Sigma Nu''' is so hot right now. So hot right now, '''Sigma Nu'''. Sigma Nu, the honor fraternity, was founded in 1869 at Virginia Military Institute. For 120 years, the Delta Theta chapter at Knox has been a prominent leader in academics, sports, and community service. Today, Sigma Nu’s mission continues to be to develop ethical and honorable leaders of society through the development of the minds, hearts and characters of its members. <br />

<br />
== History in Galesburg ==<br />
The second oldest chapter of a fraternity at Knox College after Beta Theta Pi (1855), Sigma Nu was originally founded as Delta Theta, a local fraternity at nearby Lombard College in 1867. In 1891, Delta Theta became affiliated with the national fraternity Sigma Nu. The chapter was allowed to keep Delta Theta as its chapter designation despite it being out of sequence with the other national chapters, one of only two Sigma Nu chapters allowed to do so. When Lombard College closed in 1930 and students transferred to Knox, Delta Theta moved to Knox as well, and has been active at Knox ever since. Delta Theta has been continuously active since 1867––two years before the founding of the Sigma Nu national organization in 1869. The longest continuously running chapter of a fraternity at Knox (as Beta was inactive for a number of years), Delta Theta is also the oldest continuously running chapter of Sigma Nu in the world.<br />

Loved by some, tolerated by others.<br />
<br />
Known to Larp on Campus, instigate great heckling, adorable hijinks, and fantastic group dances. <br />
<br />
Always expect greatness. You will receive it.<br />
<br />
== Chapter House ==<br />
<br />
The Sigma Nu chapter house (or ''''SNouse'''') is located at 556 S. West Street across from the [[Quad]] loading dock. It is the smallest chapter house of any fraternity at Knox by square footage, and has the lowest housing capacity of all fraternity houses at Knox, housing 11 brothers. <br />
<br />
The Sigma Nu house may be scrappy, but the brothers have put a lot of work into it (no, really, they're working on it all the time). It's full of pleasant surprises, and is considered by many to be the most unique of the fraternity houses. Some views of the house are presented on this page. It is unknown how SNu will get a new house, only that it will be epic. <br />

* [[List of Current and Former Sigma Nus]]<br />
<br />
== Parties ==<br />
While Sigma Nu is an important part of members' social lives, Sigma Nus don't tend to rely as much on the fraternity for their social activities, and have more friends outside of Sigma Nu. As a result, there are typically fewer "unofficial" parties at Sigma Nu.<br />
<br />
At registered parties there is often dancing, but the dance floor is seldom packed for the entire party, save for Tunak at midnight - at which point, prepared to get uncomfortably sweaty. The glasses of a Sigma Nu have been known to have accidentally been broken during many a Tunak. Exceptions occur--the 80s dance party of [[2005-06]] and the "James Bond Party" on April 20, 2007 are prime examples of this. <br />
<br />
Parties throughout the year include "[[Sunrise]]" and "[[Sunset]]" at the beginning and end of the year respectively (formerly "Tequila Sunrise" and "-Sunset"), "[[Sigma boo|Sigma Boo]]", a Halloween party, a Valentine's Day party, and many others. Themes in recent years have included "No Sex," "Party With A Heart On," "[[Silly Hats]]," "Snowpocalypse," "Soviet Snunion," "Frat Party," "Teresa Amott Installation After-Party," "Sigma, Like, Whatever," "Post-Meta Party,", [[Government Shutdown Party]],<br />
"10PM-2AM No Alcohol Knox ID Required Music and Dancing Party featuring Music and Dancing."<br />
<br />
SNu parties have two floors open to campus with a dance floor on the first floor and movie and/or video games and snacks on the second floor- cookies, chips, WATER, soda, and/or candy. <br />
<br />
Sigma Nu wants to make sure that people feel comfortable at their parties. Communication is key - if something's up, get hold of someone you identify as a SNu! Jerks will be banished from the party. Being a meanie is not tolerated. You can also ask a SNu for a walk home if you feel unsafe.<br />
<br />
SNu parties are the best parties.<br />
SNu parties are the safest parties.<br />

<hr />
<div>Founded in the [[Fall term|Fall]] of [[2004-05|2004]], as Kappa Pi Omega, Sigma Chi<ref>[http://web.sigmachi.org/wps/portal Sigma Chi] - official national site</ref> is the newest Fraternity at Knox.<br />
<br />
Despite their overwhelming need to be seen as "the good frat", in the summer of 2020 several current and former Sigma Chi members were accused of, and admitted to, sexual assault. These acts happened both during Sigma Chi events and in their chapter house over the course of the previous several years, and were common knowledge to other Sig Chi brothers. In October of 2020 Sigma Chi announced the creation "working groups" where they consulted members of the community and survivors as to the best path moving forward for the chapter.<br />
<br />
Despite an overwhelming response that the chapter should disband, they announced in the world's worst Twitter post that they will continue to move forward as a chapter. Since then, they have continued to ignore criticism, going so far as suspending 5 new pledges who spoke up about their discomfort with the chapter's refusal to listen to literally anyone who isn't a rabid supporter of theirs. Henceforth, anyone who is a Sig Chi member in the year of our lord 2020 and beyond either lacks basic understanding/empathy, or simply does not give a shit about supporting an organization that knowingly and intentionally covered up their member's acts of abuse for years. As of 2022, they continue to struggle to recruit on this campus.<br />
<br />
Because of this, Sigma Chi will now be declared the "#1 Knox Frat For Rapists"<br />
<br />
== Academics ==<br />
<br />
Sigma Chi has a strong emphasis on academic excellence, and offers tools to help members achieve their academic goals. Their commitment to scholastic achievement is apparent in their history. They require all of brothers to achieve a minimum GPA of 2.90. Sigma Chi posted a group GPA of 3.2, which was the highest GPA for a Greek organization on campus at the time. They support their academic ambitions by holding study sessions and offering tutoring to help fellow brothers realize their potential.<br />
<br />
Despite how smart they are, they still can't figure out what accountability or consent is<br />
<br />
<br />
== Well-rounded lifestyle ==<br />
<br />
They also strongly believe in the importance of a round lifestyle while at Knox, balancing [[academics]] with campus involvement, and taking time to relish the opportunities afforded to us by college life. It is the fusion of all these elements that makes for a complete college experience, and provides each member of the organization with a solid foundation upon which to build a successful life.<br />
<br />
Chapter members participate in many organizations and teams on campus. One of the most strenuous activities members engage in is dodging any and all responsibility for their actions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Parties ==<br />
<br />
Sigma Chi is known for nudism, especially at the annual [[Anything But Clothes]] party, which was held at a fraternity for the first time in [[2006-07|fall 2006]]. Other popular parties were the Nightshift, Mayhem, Pimpin' 'Round the World, Get Funked Up, Pajamarama, and Jock Jams. The previously mentioned parties have happened less and less in recent years. <br />

== Controversy ==<br />
<br />
At the time Sigma Chi was founded (then as KPO), the [[Inter-Fraternity Council]] opposed their petition. IFC contended that the process for establishing a new fraternity had been subverted and expedited for no reason. IFC also felt that allowing a group largely consisting of first years to establish a new fraternity during Fall Term flew in the face of the long established rule that prevents established fraternities from recruiting first-year men until Winter Term. The Administration disregarded the wishes of IFC and allowed Sigma Chi to proceed.<br />
<br />
Sigma Chi's recruitment strategy has also created some controversy. Prior to Sigma Chi's founding, the established Fraternities did not practice "informal" or year-round recruiting, as the [[IFC]] bi-laws were read to be essentially forbidding this practice. As such, the other fraternities only pledged new members at the end of the formal Rush period. However, Sigma Chi took advantage of ambiguous language in the [[IFC]] bi-laws and began recruiting and pledging members year round. As of [[2007]], (thanks to one of the founding brothers, Randy Geary '09 who was elected IFC President for the '07-'08 academic year) [[IFC]] was working to clarify the rules so that all fraternities would be on a level playing field regarding recruitment.<br />
<br />
Also, they're rapists. So.<br />

<hr />
<div>Founded in the [[Fall term|Fall]] of [[2004-05|2004]], as Kappa Pi Omega, Sigma Chi<ref>[http://web.sigmachi.org/wps/portal Sigma Chi] - official national site</ref> is the newest Fraternity at Knox.<br />
<br />
Despite their overwhelming need to be seen as "the good frat", in the summer of 2020 several current and former Sigma Chi members were accused of, and admitted to, sexual assault. These acts happened both during Sigma Chi events and in their chapter house over the course of the previous several years, and were common knowledge to other Sig Chi brothers. In October of 2020 Sigma Chi announced the creation "working groups" where they consulted members of the community and survivors as to the best path moving forward for the chapter.<br />
<br />
Despite an overwhelming response that the chapter should disband, they announced in the world's worst Twitter post that they will continue to move forward as a chapter. Since then, they have continued to ignore criticism, going so far as suspending 5 new pledges who spoke up about their discomfort with the chapter's refusal to listen to literally anyone who isn't a rabid supporter of theirs. Henceforth, anyone who is a Sig Chi member in the year of our lord 2020 and beyond either lacks basic understanding/empathy, or simply does not give a shit about supporting an organization that knowingly and intentionally covered up their member's acts of abuse for years. As of 2022, they continue to struggle to recruit on this campus.<br />
<br />
Because of this, Sigma Chi will now be declared the "#1 Knox Frat For Rapists"<br />
<br />
== Academics ==<br />
<br />
Sigma Chi has a strong emphasis on academic excellence, and offers tools to help members achieve their academic goals. Their commitment to scholastic achievement is apparent in their history. They require all of brothers to achieve a minimum GPA of 2.90. Sigma Chi posted a group GPA of 3.2, which was the highest GPA for a Greek organization on campus at the time. They support their academic ambitions by holding study sessions and offering tutoring to help fellow brothers realize their potential.<br />
<br />
Despite how smart they are, they still can't figure out what accountability or consent is<br />
<br />
<br />
== Well-rounded lifestyle ==<br />
<br />
They also strongly believe in the importance of a round lifestyle while at Knox, balancing [[academics]] with campus involvement, and taking time to relish the opportunities afforded to us by college life. It is the fusion of all these elements that makes for a complete college experience, and provides each member of the organization with a solid foundation upon which to build a successful life.<br />
<br />
Chapter members participate in many organizations and teams on campus. One of the most strenuous activities members engage in is dodging any and all responsibility for their actions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Parties ==<br />
<br />
Sigma Chi is known for nudism, especially at the annual [[Anything But Clothes]] party, which was held at a fraternity for the first time in [[2006-07|fall 2006]]. Other popular parties were the Nightshift, Mayhem, Pimpin' 'Round the World, Get Funked Up, Pajamarama, and Jock Jams. The previously mentioned parties have happened less and less in recent years. <br />

== Controversy ==<br />
<br />
At the time Sigma Chi was founded (then as KPO), the [[Inter-Fraternity Council]] opposed their petition. IFC contended that the process for establishing a new fraternity had been subverted and expedited for no reason. IFC also felt that allowing a group largely consisting of first years to establish a new fraternity during Fall Term flew in the face of the long established rule that prevents established fraternities from recruiting first-year men until Winter Term. The Administration disregarded the wishes of IFC and allowed Sigma Chi to proceed.<br />
<br />
Sigma Chi's recruitment strategy has also created some controversy. Prior to Sigma Chi's founding, the established Fraternities did not practice "informal" or year-round recruiting, as the [[IFC]] bi-laws were read to be essentially forbidding this practice. As such, the other fraternities only pledged new members at the end of the formal Rush period. However, Sigma Chi took advantage of ambiguous language in the [[IFC]] bi-laws and began recruiting and pledging members year round. As of [[2007]], (thanks to one of the founding brothers, Randy Geary '09 who was elected IFC President for the '07-'08 academic year) [[IFC]] was working to clarify the rules so that all fraternities would be on a level playing field regarding recruitment.<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />

<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />
<br />

Surprise surprise it’s may 3rd flunk<br />
<br />
Baseball game listed for today<br />
<br />
^^ this is the last weekday sports event for the year<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
When good children lay<br />
<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />

Star Wars Flunk<br />
<br />
Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?<br />
<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
^omg....I'm my own independent human being separate from kathryn/the rest of the committee....thats crazy dude<br />
^if i (maggie garrett) am dead tomorrow yall know who did it<br />
<br />
It was Kathryn Allee<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
Must come to a close<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />
<br />
^^wrong poem??<br />
^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
==May 10, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim)<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />

I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
Stout listed on his syllabus for Econ 303 that the Flunk Day window is April 27-May 11, so nothing before this date.<br />

Eid al-Fitr ends this evening<br />
<br />
Doubling down, I had a dream last night about Flunk Day being on this day<br />
<br />
i think everyone thinks it’s week 8 but it might actually be week 7 (this week)<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Surprise surprise it’s may 3rd flunk<br />
<br />
Baseball game listed for today<br />
<br />
^^ this is the last weekday sports event for the year<br />

Star Wars Flunk<br />
<br />
Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?<br />
<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />
<br />
Baseball game mysteriously canceled???<br />
<br />
Trucks in walmart - There are always trucks at Walmart. The flunk day trucks will be at the hotels.<br />
<br />
Its tomorrow i feel it in my balls…<br />
<br />
Flunk day planners spotted at walmart buying major carts of snacks AND JUGS at 9 pm!!!<br />
<br />
I was with sarah wallenfelsz at 9PM exactly she was on campus<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
Must come to a close<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />
<br />
^^wrong poem??<br />
^i like the idea this presents of flunk day having already happened and everybody just missed it somehow<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
please for the love of god let it not be on this day<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
Holi Festival postponed this week until next weekend, week 7 flunk?<br />
<br />
Statistically this is definitely it. Idk my tarot said so.<br />
<br />
==May 10, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim)<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />

<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />

Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />

This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
Baseball plays Augustana this day. But here's the catch it is on our schedule online without a time. It's not on Augustana's team schedule. The only game on their schedule is the one on the 3rd. <br />
<br />
This is also the only sunny day this week<br />
<br />
Physio does presentations every friday, however, this week is the only one in the schedule we don't have one. Does Nick Gidmark know when flunk is?????<br />

[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />

<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />

Also Lilly Winter's birthday...and I know she wants Flunk Day for her birthday! (Real And Legitimate Claim)<br />

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />

I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />

With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />

==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />
<br />

<br />
==April 5, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />
<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />
<br />
^^^<br />
Happy countdown<br />

==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
Stout listed on his syllabus for Econ 303 that the Flunk Day window is April 27-May 11, so nothing before this date.<br />

Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?<br />
<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
==May 10, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />

Dean McLean's babies turn one on this day - birthday flunk for the twins?<br />
<br />
I heard Andy Gibbons talking about how much setup he needed to do for an event on this day…could it be?<br />
<br />
This day could be too close to inauguration activities to work<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
Don't quote me on this but this seems like a good day for flunk day idk. The vibes are good for a may 5th flunk methinks<br />
<br />
they just sent out an email with a million things happening thursday for inaguration i feel like it is not today<br />
<br />
==May 6, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
Friday Flunk is so unlikely but we can dream<br />
<br />
President inauguration. No Flunk lol<br />
<br />
^^ poly sci majors would riot<br />
<br />
not the real president baby<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2022 (Mon)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, obviously Flunk Day will be May 9.<br />
<br />
This is such a solid day actually jpow might be right<br />
<br />
Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />
<br />
^ does FSL week really matter that much? I don't think it'll be on Monday but I'm willing to bet that it's this week<br />
<br />
I don't think we're going to have two Monday Flunks in a row<br />
<br />
==May 10, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2016]]<br />
<br />
MY BET IS THIS DAY CALLING IT NOW<br />
<br />
A Flunk day on Maddie's b-day? Best way to celebrate is always with the whole school ;)<br />
<br />
A birthday Flunk for Maddie? Yes I'm down for this one<br />
<br />
Tuesday flunk plz - this post was made by the TT 2s 5s gang<br />
<br />
Not today flunk pls - this post was made by the MWF 2, 3, 4 gang<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />
they don't know lol they're fucking with you<br />
<br />
^ i'm pretty sure they know the date<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Planner here. We know the date. Maddie has known the date for months.<br />
<br />
Ask Charlie Tucker, he knows and is willing to share.<br />
<br />
Blessings Blues & Brews is on this day. It is a huge event for Union Board and Blessings. I'm sure they wouldn't plan this event the same day as flunk day.<br />
<br />
Blessings in a Backpack and UB don’t know the date though 👀 theoretically any event could be ok Flunk Day, admin only considers really big college wide events when they set the schedule<br />
<br />
People can submit events to be considered though when they decide Flunk Day and Joel Estes said that they asked in advance since it's such a big event for them<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
I called this one in late Fall term :)<br />
<br />
I refuse to see another year of Thursday truthers<br />
<br />
I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />
<br />
No way it's entering the next week though<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2022 (Fri)==<br />
<br />
Homecoming weekend so it might be this day or is definitely not<br />
<br />
Cum see Bright Half Life in Studio Theatre this night! doors open @7, show starts @7:30<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />
<br />

Flunk day is tomorrow...like probably not but not enough people are saying it these days and i need that fix in my life<br />
<br />
With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />

Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />

Who’s excited for Flunkposium this year?! Does anyone know who’s organizing it??<br />
<br />
Posters that say "Flunk Day is tomorrow ... or is it?" have been put all around campus, saying that there's something coming this Friday?<br />

There once was a Flunk that put to rest<br />
<br />
All previous Flunks of twenty years past<br />
<br />
The tales flew wild, the term dipped down<br />
<br />
Oh drink, my Knoxians, drink (hey)<br />
<br />
<br />
Soon may the 100th Flunk come<br />
<br />
To bring us vodka, PBRs and rum<br />
<br />
One day, when the Flunking is done<br />
<br />
We'll take our shirts and go!<br />

Happy countdown<br />

==April 26, 2022 (Tue)==<br />
Given how late flunk day was last year, I'm guessing we're going earlier this year to compensate. This day seems like a decent guess. Don't @ me.<br />
<br />
This is Day of Dialogue - not flunk day<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2022 (Wed)==<br />

<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinator is senior Maddie Tucker. Deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, Sarah Wallenfelsz, and junior Myrissa Le. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />
<br />
heard kathryn and tori talking in the smc atrium today about food...i wonder if a plan is already underway?<br />
<br />
Overheard that Maddie is in the Campus Life office this afternoon, is she finalizing details for a Monday (03/28) Flunk?<br />
<br />
FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP FOLLOW UP: I saw Maddie and Dean McLean leaving a meeting with Dr. Barker at approximately 4 PM. What if this year's Flunk IS super early?<br />
<br />
Btw folks - friar scares will NOT be a thing this year! Confirmed both in talking with Maddie and Sarah making a statement in senate last term<br />
<br />

With all of this rain are we ready for another mud pit<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2022 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

since we're getting closer and closer it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the Flunk Day planning committee are just people with full plates and an entire schedule to worry about and aggravating them with questions like "when's Flunk Day?" and "why did you plan it for a rainy day??" every other day is super exhausting and not helpful at all. We cannot have a repeat of the tormenting they got last year, Maddie and everyone else on the team (sorry I don't remember everyone on there) deserve better so fckn give them that!<br />

Apparently this is the week of FSL week so maybe not this week? Hopefully earlier<br />

This was the first Flunk (1922) so high possibility of it being this day<br />
<br />
^^ second this<br />
<br />
^^ i third this, this seems like something maddie would do<br />
^^^ i love this idea -- but idk bc admin picks the day and we know they're not always thoughtful...<br />
<br />
I'm so confident about this date, I'll etch it onto my gravestone right now.<br />
<br />
they were looking at flunk day stuff in the archives in the winter i wouldn’t be surprised if it was on this day!<br />
<br />
I've heard through the grapevine that this day is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
^ can confirm! I asked Maddie about this day and she seemed very suspicious when she answered with "maybe ... maybe not"<br />
<br />

I genuinely think this makes the most sense. This is the 100th and so I'm predicting that they'll want lots of alumni engagement and what better time to do it than the beginning of homecoming weekend????<br />
<br />
absolutely 5/12. pls i wanna see the alumni visiting for homecoming drunk off their asses<br />
<br />
no. this is our flunk day. get the alumni out of here.<br />

Putting this under the first day. If it's your first flunk day then here are some fun facts!<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is never on a Friday because they don't want to give us a 3 day weekend. This is why every event in late spring term pre flunk day is always Friday. <br />
<br />
- When looking at flunk day data, disregard 2020.<br />
<br />
- If there is a big academic event that is already planned (ex: senior awards, capstone presentation events, etc.) flunk day will most likely not happen then. Faculty can submit days they don't want flunk day to be, and these big events are already taken into consideration when planning. Do note as well there can be big faculty meeting/events on some days that students are just simply not aware of that can affect what day flunk day could be.<br />
<br />
- Flunk day is always tomorrow<br />
<br />
==March 24, 2022 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
I have confirmed the Flunk Day planning committee. Flunk Day coordinador is senior Maddie Tucker. Planners are seniors Kathryn Allee, John Brent, Tori Johnson, and Sarah Wallenfelsz. Keep a close eye on them.<br />
<br />
Sarah Wallenfelsz is one of the planners??? This is gonna be a great flunk day!<br />

His involvement in the chapter includes his work as Tech Chair in 2017, and his election to the position of Treasurer for the 2017-2018 school year. One of his largest impacts on the Delta Theta Chapter is his work to reinvigorate the [[Sun Room]]. Through his efforts, this utility of this space has been rekindled.<br />
<br />
Apart from his fraternal contributions, Hope is known for his involvement in the meme communities worldwide. He considers himself a citizen of Kekistan and swears fealty to the God Emperor. Hope distributes a variety of politically and religiously charged memes, sometimes to the chagrin of his compatriots.<br />

<div>'''Sigma Nu''' is so hot right now. So hot right now, '''Sigma Nu'''. Sigma Nu, the honor fraternity, was founded in 1869 at Virginia Military Institute. For 120 years, the Delta Theta chapter at Knox has been a prominent leader in academics, sports, and community service. Today, Sigma Nu’s mission continues to be to develop ethical and honorable leaders of society through the development of the minds, hearts and characters of its members. <br />

== History in Galesburg ==<br />
The second oldest chapter of a fraternity at Knox College after Beta Theta Pi (1855), Sigma Nu was originally founded as Delta Theta, a local fraternity at nearby Lombard College in 1867. In 1891, Delta Theta became affiliated with the national fraternity Sigma Nu. The chapter was allowed to keep Delta Theta as its chapter designation despite it being out of sequence with the other national chapters, one of only two Sigma Nu chapters allowed to do so. When Lombard College closed in 1930 and students transferred to Knox, Delta Theta moved to Knox as well, and has been active at Knox ever since. Delta Theta has been continuously active since 1867––two years before the founding of the Sigma Nu national organization in 1869. The longest continuously running chapter of a fraternity at Knox (as Beta was inactive for a number of years), Delta Theta is also the oldest continuously running chapter of Sigma Nu in the world.<br />

<br />
== Chapter House ==<br />
<br />
The Sigma Nu chapter house (or ''''SNouse'''') is located at 556 S. West Street across from the [[Quad]] loading dock. It is the smallest chapter house of any fraternity at Knox by square footage, and has the lowest housing capacity of all fraternity houses at Knox, housing 11 brothers. <br />
<br />
The Sigma Nu house may be scrappy, but the brothers have put a lot of work into it (no, really, they're working on it all the time). It's full of pleasant surprises, and is considered by many to be the most unique of the fraternity houses. Some views of the house are presented on this page. It is unknown how SNu will get a new house, only that it will be epic. <br />

* [[List of Current and Former Sigma Nus]]<br />
<br />
== Parties ==<br />
While Sigma Nu is an important part of members' social lives, Sigma Nus don't tend to rely as much on the fraternity for their social activities, and have more friends outside of Sigma Nu. As a result, there are typically fewer "unofficial" parties at Sigma Nu.<br />
<br />
At registered parties there is often dancing, but the dance floor is seldom packed for the entire party, save for Tunak at midnight - at which point, prepared to get uncomfortably sweaty. The glasses of a Sigma Nu have been known to have accidentally been broken during many a Tunak. Exceptions occur--the 80s dance party of [[2005-06]] and the "James Bond Party" on April 20, 2007 are prime examples of this. <br />
<br />
Parties throughout the year include "[[Sunrise]]" and "[[Sunset]]" at the beginning and end of the year respectively (formerly "Tequila Sunrise" and "-Sunset"), "[[Sigma boo|Sigma Boo]]", a Halloween party, a Valentine's Day party, and many others. Themes in recent years have included "No Sex," "Party With A Heart On," "[[Silly Hats]]," "Snowpocalypse," "Soviet Snunion," "Frat Party," "Teresa Amott Installation After-Party," "Sigma, Like, Whatever," "Post-Meta Party,", [[Government Shutdown Party]],<br />
"10PM-2AM No Alcohol Knox ID Required Music and Dancing Party featuring Music and Dancing."<br />
<br />
SNu parties have two floors open to campus with a dance floor on the first floor and movie and/or video games and snacks on the second floor- cookies, chips, WATER, soda, and/or candy. <br />
<br />
Sigma Nu wants to make sure that people feel comfortable at their parties. Communication is key - if something's up, get hold of someone you identify as a SNu! Jerks will be banished from the party. Being a meanie is not tolerated. You can also ask a SNu for a walk home if you feel unsafe.<br />
<br />
SNu parties are the best parties.<br />
SNu parties are the safest parties.<br />
<br />
==[[Shenanigans]] (Snuanigans)==<br />
=== Tunak ===<br />
[[Image:TunakFlunkDay2007.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Sigma Nu and friends do the Tunak Dance on Flunk Day 2007]]<br />
<br />
At some point during a Snu party, now typically at midnight, all members will come to the dance floor to do a ridiculous dance to the equally ridiculous song, "Tunak Tunak Tun," by Daler Mehndi. Thanks go out to Brother Akshat Agarwal for introducing to the chapter another means of making completed arses out of ourselves. Though many have attempted to translate the text, we still don't know what we're dancing to...or even why.<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day]] Sigma Nus do the "Tunak" dance in the middle of West Street in front of their house. However on [[Flunk Day 2007]], a fire truck was in the way, so the SNus and their friends did the Tunak dance for the firemen.<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day 2010]] the Sigma Nus (and assorted guests) attempted their typical Tunak in the street, however, six or more Campus Safety officers approached, so the ritual was moved to the front lawn. [[John Perleberg]] gracefully handled the "situation" and the party continued.<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day 2010]] the Sigma Nus attained roughly 4-5 (that they admit to) campus safety reports, making it truly one epic Flunk Day!!!<br />
<br />
On [[Flunk Day 2013]] SNu succeeded in dancing "Tunak" three full times on South West Street, at various times in the day, without earning a Campus Safety report (at least not for Tunaking). Campus Safety Director [[John Schlaf]] referred to the third dance as "almost impressive" and gently reminded SNu not to do that anymore.<br />
<br />
In spring 2014, the first ever "sitting Tunak" was performed in the [[Sun Room]]. Like other Tunak dances, it was pretty silly.<br />
<br />
Due to a combination of unseasonably hot weather and the achievement of maximum dance floor capacity, the Tunak of SUNRISE 2014 went down in history as the wettest Tunak ever undertaken.<br />
<br />
Tunak has since been exported to a number of other locations on campus, usually when 3 or more SNu's get together in one place; music is not required. On rare occasions, Tunak also reaches locations beyond the Knox College campus.<br />
<br />
Sometime during 2013-2014 school year, Tunak came full circle (so to speak), as Brother Joe Seidman performed a Tunak with several locals during his internship in India. He received many compliments on his Tunaking skills.<br />
<br />
During winter break 2014, a vacationing Carly Taylor met with [[Emily Passarelli]], several other members of Marine Bio's 2014 research trip, and some random strangers to perform the first documented Belizean Tunak. <br />
<br />
Brothers also Tunak on the front lawn to celebrate special occasions such as the activation of their newest brothers, which is often heartily disapproved of by the Yik Yak community. Brothers also celebrate their senior-year birthdays with "the Twenty-Twonak," a normal Tunak in the house's front room immediately followed by dancing (poorly) to Taylor Swift's "22."<br />
<br />
===Sigma Nu: The Band===<br />
Sigma Nu performed Tenacious D's "Explosivo" at the [[Greek Week No-Talent Show]] in 2007. The band included [[Mike Hahn]] on acoustic guitar, [[Alex Enyart]] on electric, [[Rohel Terrazas]] on bass, and [[David Nolan]] playing a [[Guitar Hero]] controller.<br />
<br />
There was a revival of the Sigma Nu band during the 2011 [[Greek Week No-Talent Show]], when [[Cody Ward]] melted the Greek system's face with a blistering Jazz Sax solo.<br />
<br />
Porch Band was also a thing. It needs to return.<br />
<br />
== Inter-fraternity Beef ==<br />
<br />
Sigma Nu doesn't have any beef or rivalry with any of the other fraternities. This is due to the fact that SNus are generally a pretty innocuous group of nice guys that don't start shit. SNus only hit the Start button.<br />
<br />
[[Sigma Wars]] are an event that oft transpires between the Glorious Sigma Nu's and the not as glorious [[Sigma Chi]]'s. Hijinks, pranks, and shenanigans. On July 4th, 2019, Sigma Nu and Sigma Chi held their first ever joint event, the Sigmapendence Day cookout. A good, wholesome time was had by all.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />
<br />
^ H U G E<br />

<br />
Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />
==April 13, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />
<br />
==April 26, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />
<br />
<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Today the facstaff list got an email titled "Uphold the Flunk Day Winning Streak!" Huge Flunk news!! Flunk day next week??<br />
<br />
The How and the Why was great btw<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

<br />
My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />
<br />
^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />
^ there will be a table to pick up shirts all day!<br />

==May 12, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Two weeks after vaccination clinic... Good opportunity to facilitate reckless bacchanalia.<br />
Will you kiss your Pfizer Papi's, Moderna Mami's and Johnson & Johnson Baddies?<br />
<br />
Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

Maddie is seen frantically running around Seymour. Tomorrow HAS to be the day<br />

Craig Johnson sends email about missing speaker needing to be returned urgently! does this mean flunk is tomorrow and they need it for the performance??????<br />
^thats what I was thinking<br />
<br />
Maddie posted a snap to her story this afternoon which shows deputy coordinator Charlie wearing his very own "co-coordinator" shirt (so cute) which has the logo intentionally blurred out. Flunk Day is near<br />
<br />
campus wide four day flunk day bender????<br />
<br />
^LETS FUCKING GOOO<br />
<br />
dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />
<br />
<br />
The way the lawns were mowed today when they were just mowed on Monday 🤭 also the suite cleaners came today instead Thursday FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
a few trucks sitting outside WalMart 👀👀<br />
<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdhFT7aqoXk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
Me posting the copypasta for first time, on the wrong day lol, my bad <br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
^ stop doing the copypasta! you are always so confident yet so wrong!<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
*frantically refreshing email plz plz plz*<br />
<br />
Get to class, guys. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
... :(((((((((<br />
<br />
don't worry guys it'll be thursday once they send us back in time for the flunk day time loop<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
It’s going to be Friday I mean we are in uncharted territory at this point anyway<br />
<br />
Friday flunk!!!!! Friday flunk!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Devastated it wasn’t Thursday... a friday flunk would be the only salvation...<br />
<br />
Confirmed no trucks at Monmouth hotel.<br />
<br />
Vovis Center sent out email about an event on this day... is this a cover up for Friday Flunk?<br />
<br />
^^It more than likely means that it won't be Friday oh well.<br />
<br />
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but a Friday flunk would lowkey be LEGENDARY ...<br />
<br />
It was not today. This year. One day in the future it will come, a legendary Friday Flunk. This prophecy will be fulfilled.<br />
<br />

This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />
<br />
You couldn't live with your failure. Where did it bring you? Back to me!!!!<br />
<br />
I'll be at a funeral, better not be monday. I'm giving yall bad vibes for monday<br />
<br />
Normally if you miss your week for covid test they send you a message saying to sign up for Monday. This week the text said “sign up for next week”. Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
Wiki has been quiet this weekend. Is this an omen of no flunk?<br />
<br />
Will somebody please give me some evidence it’s today? Need motivation to finish this paper.<br />

CAITLIN JUST WENT LIVE ON INSTA DYING HER HAIR<br />
<br />
Students for Sustainability meeting (that Caitlin is president of) is not on the calendar for Monday night where it usually is...<br />
<br />
'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
<br />
When good children lay<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Confirmed!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
<br />
Must come to a close<br />
<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />

The beginning of [[Flunk Term 2020|Flunk Week 2020]]<br />
<br />
i just think it's gonna be late, and i'm getting goooood energy from this day. no reason, just vibes.<br />
<br />
<br />
^ i second the vibes of this day feeling right<br />
<br />
<br />
^^ I second that too its my birthday lol taurus szn<br />
<br />
<br />
More weird copy paste shit was deleted.<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 39% chance as of 5/12<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
^^^Caitlin said she made up that fact for the Deb email to throw us off... maybe they want us to think it's Monday instead of today?<br />
<br />
^^^^ there are statistics for flunk day at the top of this page. monday is literally the second most common day for flunk (at least in the past 20 years)<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
UB sent out that email about the comedy carnival... hint hint?<br />
<br />
Alumni laughing here. They are waiting until last possible week because of vaccination rates and lower transmission for as normal a Flunk day as possible.<br />
<br />
can't be this day, email was just sent out about the robinson lecture being today at 4. 11:30pm is a weird time to send out an email.... maybe it was sent late so that people wouldn't have time to speculate.... MONDAY FLUNK CONFIRMED????<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />
<br />
^^^I sure hope it's not this date, but also my predicto-pen said that it would be.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

^ H U G E<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />
==April 13, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />
<br />
<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Today the facstaff list got an email titled "Uphold the Flunk Day Winning Streak!" Huge Flunk news!! Flunk day next week??<br />
<br />
The How and the Why was great btw<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />
<br />
^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />
^ there will be a table to pick up shirts all day!<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Two weeks after vaccination clinic... Good opportunity to facilitate reckless bacchanalia.<br />
Will you kiss your Pfizer Papi's, Moderna Mami's and Johnson & Johnson Baddies?<br />
<br />
Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK<br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
y'all, caitlin posted on snap that she's dying her hair last night and when asked if she was doing the rest tonight she laughed maniacally. Flunk confirmed<br />
<br />
Raina in campus life looking stressed!!<br />
<br />
Big boxes delivered to UB office yesterday!!!<br />
<br />
Maddie is seen frantically running around Seymour. Tomorrow HAS to be the day<br />
<br />
Craig Johnson sends email about missing speaker needing to be returned urgently! does this mean flunk is tomorrow and they need it for the performance??????<br />
^thats what I was thinking<br />
<br />
Maddie posted a snap to her story this afternoon which shows deputy coordinator Charlie wearing his very own "co-coordinator" shirt (so cute) which has the logo intentionally blurred out. Flunk Day is near<br />
<br />
campus wide four day flunk day bender????<br />
<br />
^LETS FUCKING GOOO<br />
<br />
dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />
<br />
<br />
The way the lawns were mowed today when they were just mowed on Monday 🤭 also the suite cleaners came today instead Thursday FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
a few trucks sitting outside WalMart 👀👀<br />
<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdhFT7aqoXk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
Me posting the copypasta for first time, on the wrong day lol, my bad <br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
^ stop doing the copypasta! you are always so confident yet so wrong!<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
*frantically refreshing email plz plz plz*<br />
<br />
Get to class, guys. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
... :(((((((((<br />
<br />
don't worry guys it'll be thursday once they send us back in time for the flunk day time loop<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
It’s going to be Friday I mean we are in uncharted territory at this point anyway<br />
<br />
Friday flunk!!!!! Friday flunk!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Devastated it wasn’t Thursday... a friday flunk would be the only salvation...<br />
<br />
Confirmed no trucks at Monmouth hotel.<br />
<br />
Vovis Center sent out email about an event on this day... is this a cover up for Friday Flunk?<br />
<br />
^^It more than likely means that it won't be Friday oh well.<br />
<br />
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but a Friday flunk would lowkey be LEGENDARY ...<br />
<br />
It was not today. This year. One day in the future it will come, a legendary Friday Flunk. This prophecy will be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
==May 17, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />
<br />
You couldn't live with your failure. Where did it bring you? Back to me!!!!<br />
<br />
I'll be at a funeral, better not be monday. I'm giving yall bad vibes for monday<br />
<br />
Normally if you miss your week for covid test they send you a message saying to sign up for Monday. This week the text said “sign up for next week”. Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
Wiki has been quiet this weekend. Is this an omen of no flunk?<br />
<br />
Will somebody please give me some evidence it’s today? Need motivation to finish this paper.<br />
<br />

CAITLIN JUST WENT LIVE ON INSTA DYING HER HAIR<br />
<br />
Students for Sustainability meeting (that Caitlin is president of) is not on the calendar for Monday night where it usually is...<br />
<br />
'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
<br />
When good children lay<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Confirmed!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Twas the night after Flunk Day<br />
And despite the good times,<br />
The bubbles and presidents<br />
And slightly forced rhymes<br />
<br />
The long-waited festivities<br />
Must come to a close<br />
Doors locked and drinks finished<br />
And a return to repose<br />
<br />
With eyes that were drooping<br />
And legs that were sore<br />
Flunk Day was over<br />
But perhaps… a bit more?<br />
<br />
For the spirit of Flunking<br />
Lives on o’r the year<br />
In the moments we cherise<br />
And the friends we hold dear<br />
<br />
So return to your classes<br />
Orgs, meetings, and teams<br />
But forget not the lessons<br />
Flunk Day always brings<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
^ i second the vibes of this day feeling right<br />
<br />
<br />
^^ I second that too its my birthday lol taurus szn<br />
<br />
<br />
More weird copy paste shit was deleted.<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 39% chance as of 5/12<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
^^^Caitlin said she made up that fact for the Deb email to throw us off... maybe they want us to think it's Monday instead of today?<br />
<br />
^^^^ there are statistics for flunk day at the top of this page. monday is literally the second most common day for flunk (at least in the past 20 years)<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
UB sent out that email about the comedy carnival... hint hint?<br />
<br />
Alumni laughing here. They are waiting until last possible week because of vaccination rates and lower transmission for as normal a Flunk day as possible.<br />
<br />
can't be this day, email was just sent out about the robinson lecture being today at 4. 11:30pm is a weird time to send out an email.... maybe it was sent late so that people wouldn't have time to speculate.... MONDAY FLUNK CONFIRMED????<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />
<br />
^^^I sure hope it's not this date, but also my predicto-pen said that it would be.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />

... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />

First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />

Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />

My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />

Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />

Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
Me posting the copypasta for first time, on the wrong day lol, my bad <br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
^ stop doing the copypasta! you are always so confident yet so wrong!<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
*frantically refreshing email plz plz plz*<br />
<br />
Get to class, guys. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
... :(((((((((<br />
<br />
don't worry guys it'll be thursday once they send us back in time for the flunk day time loop<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
It’s going to be Friday I mean we are in uncharted territory at this point anyway<br />
<br />
Friday flunk!!!!! Friday flunk!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Devastated it wasn’t Thursday... a friday flunk would be the only salvation...<br />
<br />
Confirmed no trucks at Monmouth hotel.<br />
<br />
Vovis Center sent out email about an event on this day... is this a cover up for Friday Flunk?<br />
<br />
^^It more than likely means that it won't be Friday oh well.<br />
<br />
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but a Friday flunk would lowkey be LEGENDARY ...<br />
<br />
It was not today. This year. One day in the future it will come, a legendary Friday Flunk. This prophecy will be fulfilled.<br />

This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />
<br />
You couldn't live with your failure. Where did it bring you? Back to me!!!!<br />
<br />
I'll be at a funeral, better not be monday. I'm giving yall bad vibes for monday<br />
<br />
Normally if you miss your week for covid test they send you a message saying to sign up for Monday. This week the text said “sign up for next week”. Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
Wiki has been quiet this weekend. Is this an omen of no flunk?<br />
<br />
Will somebody please give me some evidence it’s today? Need motivation to finish this paper.<br />
<br />
TRUCKS AT THE AMERICINN BY THE TARGET!! PIC INCOMING<br />
<br />
^ SORRY BLURRY GUY TOLD US TO LEAVE https://imgur.com/gallery/HF0jEXw<br />
<br />
FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH FUCK YEAH<br />

CAITLIN JUST WENT LIVE ON INSTA DYING HER HAIR<br />
<br />
Students for Sustainability meeting (that Caitlin is president of) is not on the calendar for Monday night where it usually is...<br />
<br />
'Twas the TRUE night before Flunk Day <br />
<br />
When good children lay<br />
awaiting the bedlam<br />
of pots and pans,<br />
from friars who sing<br />
of the good tidings they bring:<br />
<br />
News of booze<br />
Stories of glory<br />
A broadcast! At long last!<br />
<br />
The day has arrived<br />
and the students have survived<br />
a full year of college.<br />
Thus, UB has acknowledged<br />
that this is cause for celebration,<br />
for excessive laughter and jubilation.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead, go wild!<br />
Run around like a child!<br />
Make friends with strangers,<br />
keep one another out of danger.<br />
Relax and tan on the lawn,<br />
or party 'til the new dawn.<br />
And maybe get just a little drunk<br />
because today, my friends, is a day to flunk!<br />
<br />
Flunk Day Confirmed!!!<br />
<br />
==May 18, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
The beginning of [[Flunk Term 2020|Flunk Week 2020]]<br />
<br />
i just think it's gonna be late, and i'm getting goooood energy from this day. no reason, just vibes.<br />
<br />
<br />
^ i second the vibes of this day feeling right<br />
<br />
<br />
^^ I second that too its my birthday lol taurus szn<br />
<br />
<br />
More weird copy paste shit was deleted.<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 39% chance as of 5/12<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
^^^Caitlin said she made up that fact for the Deb email to throw us off... maybe they want us to think it's Monday instead of today?<br />
<br />
^^^^ there are statistics for flunk day at the top of this page. monday is literally the second most common day for flunk (at least in the past 20 years)<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
UB sent out that email about the comedy carnival... hint hint?<br />
<br />
Alumni laughing here. They are waiting until last possible week because of vaccination rates and lower transmission for as normal a Flunk day as possible.<br />
<br />
can't be this day, email was just sent out about the robinson lecture being today at 4. 11:30pm is a weird time to send out an email.... maybe it was sent late so that people wouldn't have time to speculate.... MONDAY FLUNK CONFIRMED????<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />
<br />
^^^I sure hope it's not this date, but also my predicto-pen said that it would be.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />
==April 13, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />

<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />

Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />
<br />
^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />
^ there will be a table to pick up shirts all day!<br />
<br />
==May 12, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Two weeks after vaccination clinic... Good opportunity to facilitate reckless bacchanalia.<br />
Will you kiss your Pfizer Papi's, Moderna Mami's and Johnson & Johnson Baddies?<br />
<br />
Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK<br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
y'all, caitlin posted on snap that she's dying her hair last night and when asked if she was doing the rest tonight she laughed maniacally. Flunk confirmed<br />
<br />
Raina in campus life looking stressed!!<br />
<br />
Big boxes delivered to UB office yesterday!!!<br />
<br />
Maddie is seen frantically running around Seymour. Tomorrow HAS to be the day<br />
<br />
Craig Johnson sends email about missing speaker needing to be returned urgently! does this mean flunk is tomorrow and they need it for the performance??????<br />
^thats what I was thinking<br />
<br />
Maddie posted a snap to her story this afternoon which shows deputy coordinator Charlie wearing his very own "co-coordinator" shirt (so cute) which has the logo intentionally blurred out. Flunk Day is near<br />
<br />
campus wide four day flunk day bender????<br />
<br />
^LETS FUCKING GOOO<br />
<br />
dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />
<br />
<br />
The way the lawns were mowed today when they were just mowed on Monday 🤭 also the suite cleaners came today instead Thursday FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
a few trucks sitting outside WalMart 👀👀<br />
<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdhFT7aqoXk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
Me posting the copypasta for first time, on the wrong day lol, my bad <br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
^ stop doing the copypasta! you are always so confident yet so wrong!<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
*frantically refreshing email plz plz plz*<br />
<br />
Get to class, guys. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
... :(((((((((<br />
<br />
don't worry guys it'll be thursday once they send us back in time for the flunk day time loop<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
It’s going to be Friday I mean we are in uncharted territory at this point anyway<br />
<br />
Friday flunk!!!!! Friday flunk!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Devastated it wasn’t Thursday... a friday flunk would be the only salvation...<br />
<br />
Confirmed no trucks at Monmouth hotel.<br />
<br />
Vovis Center sent out email about an event on this day... is this a cover up for Friday Flunk?<br />
<br />
^^It more than likely means that it won't be Friday oh well.<br />
<br />
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but a Friday flunk would lowkey be LEGENDARY ...<br />
<br />
It was not today. This year. One day in the future it will come, a legendary Friday Flunk. This prophecy will be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
==May 17, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />
<br />
You couldn't live with your failure. Where did it bring you? Back to me!!!!<br />
<br />
I'll be at a funeral, better not be monday. I'm giving yall bad vibes for monday<br />
<br />
Normally if you miss your week for covid test they send you a message saying to sign up for Monday. This week the text said “sign up for next week”. Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
Wiki has been quiet this weekend. Is this an omen of no flunk?<br />
<br />
Will somebody please give me some evidence it’s today? Need motivation to finish this paper.<br />

More weird copy paste shit was deleted.<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 39% chance as of 5/12<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
^^^Caitlin said she made up that fact for the Deb email to throw us off... maybe they want us to think it's Monday instead of today?<br />
<br />
^^^^ there are statistics for flunk day at the top of this page. monday is literally the second most common day for flunk (at least in the past 20 years)<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
UB sent out that email about the comedy carnival... hint hint?<br />
<br />
Alumni laughing here. They are waiting until last possible week because of vaccination rates and lower transmission for as normal a Flunk day as possible.<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />
<br />
^^^I sure hope it's not this date, but also my predicto-pen said that it would be.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

^ H U G E<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />

I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />

Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />
<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />
<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />

<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Today the facstaff list got an email titled "Uphold the Flunk Day Winning Streak!" Huge Flunk news!! Flunk day next week??<br />
<br />
The How and the Why was great btw<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />
<br />
^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />
^ there will be a table to pick up shirts all day!<br />

Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

^thats what I was thinking<br />

<br />

dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />

The way the lawns were mowed today when they were just mowed on Monday 🤭 also the suite cleaners came today instead Thursday FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />

a few trucks sitting outside WalMart 👀👀<br />
<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdhFT7aqoXk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
Me posting the copypasta for first time, on the wrong day lol, my bad <br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
^ stop doing the copypasta! you are always so confident yet so wrong!<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
*frantically refreshing email plz plz plz*<br />
<br />
Get to class, guys. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
... :(((((((((<br />
<br />
don't worry guys it'll be thursday once they send us back in time for the flunk day time loop<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
It’s going to be Friday I mean we are in uncharted territory at this point anyway<br />
<br />
Friday flunk!!!!! Friday flunk!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Devastated it wasn’t Thursday... a friday flunk would be the only salvation...<br />
<br />
Confirmed no trucks at Monmouth hotel.<br />
<br />
Vovis Center sent out email about an event on this day... is this a cover up for Friday Flunk?<br />
<br />
^^It more than likely means that it won't be Friday oh well.<br />
<br />
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but a Friday flunk would lowkey be LEGENDARY ...<br />
<br />
It was not today. This year. One day in the future it will come, a legendary Friday Flunk. This prophecy will be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
==May 17, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />

<br />
Normally if you miss your week for covid test they send you a message saying to sign up for Monday. This week the text said “sign up for next week”. Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
Wiki has been quiet this weekend. Is this an omen of no flunk?<br />
<br />
Will somebody please give me some evidence it’s today? Need motivation to finish this paper.<br />

More weird copy paste shit was deleted.<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 39% chance as of 5/12<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
^^^Caitlin said she made up that fact for the Deb email to throw us off... maybe they want us to think it's Monday instead of today?<br />
<br />
^^^^ there are statistics for flunk day at the top of this page. monday is literally the second most common day for flunk (at least in the past 20 years)<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
UB sent out that email about the comedy carnival... hint hint?<br />
<br />
Alumni laughing here. They are waiting until last possible week because of vaccination rates and lower transmission for as normal a Flunk day as possible.<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />
<br />
^^^I sure hope it's not this date, but also my predicto-pen said that it would be.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />

First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />

[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />

Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
y'all, caitlin posted on snap that she's dying her hair last night and when asked if she was doing the rest tonight she laughed maniacally. Flunk confirmed<br />
<br />
Raina in campus life looking stressed!!<br />
<br />
Big boxes delivered to UB office yesterday!!!<br />
<br />
Maddie is seen frantically running around Seymour. Tomorrow HAS to be the day<br />
<br />
Craig Johnson sends email about missing speaker needing to be returned urgently! does this mean flunk is tomorrow and they need it for the performance??????<br />
^thats what I was thinking<br />
<br />
Maddie posted a snap to her story this afternoon which shows deputy coordinator Charlie wearing his very own "co-coordinator" shirt (so cute) which has the logo intentionally blurred out. Flunk Day is near<br />
<br />
campus wide four day flunk day bender????<br />
<br />
^LETS FUCKING GOOO<br />
<br />
dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />
<br />
<br />
The way the lawns were mowed today when they were just mowed on Monday 🤭 also the suite cleaners came today instead Thursday FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
a few trucks sitting outside WalMart 👀👀<br />
<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdhFT7aqoXk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
Me posting the copypasta for first time, on the wrong day lol, my bad <br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
^ stop doing the copypasta! you are always so confident yet so wrong!<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
*frantically refreshing email plz plz plz*<br />
<br />
Get to class, guys. It isn't today.<br />
<br />
... :(((((((((<br />
<br />
don't worry guys it'll be thursday once they send us back in time for the flunk day time loop<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
It’s going to be Friday I mean we are in uncharted territory at this point anyway<br />
<br />
Friday flunk!!!!! Friday flunk!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!! FRIDAY FLUNK!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Devastated it wasn’t Thursday... a friday flunk would be the only salvation...<br />
<br />
Confirmed no trucks at Monmouth hotel.<br />
<br />
Vovis Center sent out email about an event on this day... is this a cover up for Friday Flunk?<br />
<br />
^^It more than likely means that it won't be Friday oh well.<br />
<br />
I don’t wanna get my hopes up but a Friday flunk would lowkey be LEGENDARY ...<br />
<br />
It was not today. This year. One day in the future it will come, a legendary Friday Flunk. This prophecy will be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
==May 17, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />
<br />
You couldn't live with your failure. Where did it bring you? Back to me!!!!<br />
<br />
I'll be at a funeral, better not be monday. I'm giving yall bad vibes for monday<br />
<br />
Normally if you miss your week for covid test they send you a message saying to sign up for Monday. This week the text said “sign up for next week”. Flunk day confirmed???<br />
<br />
Wiki has been quiet this weekend. Is this an omen of no flunk?<br />
<br />
Will somebody please give me some evidence it’s today? Need motivation to finish this paper.<br />
<br />

More weird copy paste shit was deleted.<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 39% chance as of 5/12<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
^^^Caitlin said she made up that fact for the Deb email to throw us off... maybe they want us to think it's Monday instead of today?<br />
<br />
^^^^ there are statistics for flunk day at the top of this page. monday is literally the second most common day for flunk (at least in the past 20 years)<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
UB sent out that email about the comedy carnival... hint hint?<br />
<br />
Alumni laughing here. They are waiting until last possible week because of vaccination rates and lower transmission for as normal a Flunk day as possible.<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />
<br />
^^^I sure hope it's not this date, but also my predicto-pen said that it would be.<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />

Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />

Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />

[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />

No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />

==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />

Today the facstaff list got an email titled "Uphold the Flunk Day Winning Streak!" Huge Flunk news!! Flunk day next week??<br />
<br />
The How and the Why was great btw<br />

[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />

^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />

Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />

Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />

campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />

Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />

cant be this day, track has a meet<br />

<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />

Flunk Day is always tomorrow btw, if you have an assignment due tomorrow, don't worry about it cause tomorrow is Flunk Day<br />
<br />
==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />
<br />
^ H U G E<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />
==April 13, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />
<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />

<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK <br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />
<br />
==May 6 2021 (Thu)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />
<br />
==May 7, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Today the facstaff list got an email titled "Uphold the Flunk Day Winning Streak!" Huge Flunk news!! Flunk day next week??<br />
<br />
The How and the Why was great btw<br />
<br />
==May 9, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

<br />
My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />
<br />
^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />
^ there will be a table to pick up shirts all day!<br />

==May 12, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Two weeks after vaccination clinic... Good opportunity to facilitate reckless bacchanalia.<br />
Will you kiss your Pfizer Papi's, Moderna Mami's and Johnson & Johnson Baddies?<br />
<br />
Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

Maddie is seen frantically running around Seymour. Tomorrow HAS to be the day<br />
<br />
Craig Johnson sends email about missing speaker needing to be returned urgently! does this mean flunk is tomorrow and they need it for the performance??????<br />
^thats what I was thinking<br />
<br />
Maddie posted a snap to her story this afternoon which shows deputy coordinator Charlie wearing his very own "co-coordinator" shirt (so cute) which has the logo intentionally blurred out. Flunk Day is near<br />
<br />
campus wide four day flunk day bender????<br />
<br />
^LETS FUCKING GOOO<br />
<br />
dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />
<br />
<br />
The way the lawns were mowed today when they were just mowed on Monday 🤭 also the suite cleaners came today instead Thursday FLUNK CONFIRMED<br />
<br />
<br />
a few trucks sitting outside WalMart 👀👀<br />
<br />
<br />
The Knox College twitter posted "will flunk day be tomorrow? Maybe! Knox students are you excited for the friars to wake you up early with their shouts announcing the big day? It's going to be huge." ..... This seems pretty bold move :/ maybe evidence for Monday flunk?<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />

<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK<br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!<br />
<br />
^^this implies that friday is the flunk???<br />
<br />
<br />
campus is quiet... too quiet???<br />
<br />
i’ve heard this thought from a few different people: just because there’s in person components to flunk doesn’t mean they’ll be the ones we’re used to. will inflatables and the like be a part of this years flunk? they’d be difficult to sanitize... maybe we can’t find trucks because there are no trucks at all </3<br />
<br />
^ nahhh<br />
<br />
friars were much less enthusiastic than last scare, not looking good for our week 8 flunk<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />
<br />
==May 17, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />

<br />
I'm feeling this day if it's not Thursday. Monday flunks don't happen and hopefully weather will clear by now<br />
<br />
Monday flunks are extremely common??<br />
<br />
Let's fucking gooooooooo<br />
<br />
==May 19, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Senior Seminar for Literature Majors, it won't be this day. Also it's probably too late :p<br />
<br />
^^ in class on May 12, emily anderson said "it better not be the 19th" with a menacing, murderous look in her eyes so if anything this is just a warning<br />

==Theme Guessing==<br />
<br />
We won't know officially until the day of, but Flunk Day planners have been dropping theme hints on social media. Lot of mid-2000s TV shows?? Keep theme guessing here!<br />
<br />
I think it's gotta be 90's or 00's themed. Lots of childhood imagery floating around and I am HERE for it!<br />
<br />
ThrowbackThursday?? 👀<br />

Flunk Day Coordinator is Maddie Tucker, deputy coordinator is Charlie Tucker. Planners are Kathryn Allee and Caitlin Edelmuth. Keep an eye on them.<br />
<br />
Wait, to clarify: Charlie Tucker the dog?<br />
<br />
^ Yes, Charlie Tucker the dog, i.e. the goodest boy with the wiggliest tail. Keep an eye on him! He's super friendly and likely to spill a secret to somebody!<br />
<br />
^ Link pic?<br />
<br />
^ Charlie's Instagram secured: https://www.instagram.com/charlietheaquarius/<br />
<br />
^ you're the goat thank you - cute ass dog<br />
<br />
^^^ Wait who is the faculty advisor for Flunk Day this year? Isn't Andrew gone?<br />
<br />
Raina Johnson is this year's faculty advisor! She works in Campus Life some days and at home during others, so keep a close eye out for her<br />
<br />
==March 30, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
Larry Welch says no promises have been made with regards to avoiding lab days, but notes that Flunk Days planners tend to pick days based on their majors: STEM MWF, Humanities TTh. Much to consider!<br />

Heard from Caitlin that the Flunk Day theme this year is not going to be revealed until Flunk Day itself- and then saw her carrying around a sign that said "What the Flunk" which IS FOR FLUNK DAY PREDICTIONS! CAITLIN WILL BE IN THE GIZ AT TIMES, TAKING BETS ON WHEN FLUNK DAY WILL BE FOR CHARITY! Also overheard that performers may already be booked? And that Megan Thee Stallion is out of our price range. Unfortunate.<br />
Or is that misleading? Maybe she is already on her way???<br />
<br />
News is circulating that Maddie is leaving Knox for the weekend. Could this just be an Easter trip? Or could it be a secret Flunk Day mission?<br />
<br />
==April 5, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
GUYS!!!! I was snooping on Spotify and found a Flunk Day playlist on Caitlin's account!!! Who do you think the performer is??<br />
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2FFmCQB5lDTLHUBJogRpiY?si=HcWnn64iQ2OVqzDzS9rlaQ<br />
<br />
^DEAR GOD PLEASE HIRE TINY MEAT GANG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE<br />
<br />
^THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING ARTIST ON THIS PLAYLIST! MGK, HALSEY, TATE MCRAE.... UMM YES PLEASE!<br />
<br />
Just taking this moment to say - EVERYONE PLEASE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES! Maddie has confirmed that the planners have all met with Abby Putnam and Anne Ehrlich and if the quarandorms are already looking full when Flunk Day comes around, the guidelines of the day itself will be much stricter than they have to be! Do your part, wear your mask, get the Fauci Ouchie when you can, and keep each other healthy! <-which all y'all should be eligible now, so get yer mf jab STAT. We all want those sweet sweet antibodies coursing through our veins for The Flunk<br />
<br />
^!!!<br />
<br />
Friar email sent out to senior dist list today. Could this be a sign that Flunk is coming even sooner than we think? Tomorrow perhaps?<br />
<br />
==April 6, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Y'ALL Maddie just confirmed that bookings are already in the works!!! Does this mean that we're looking at a late April/first week of May Flunk? Who is the headlining artist? Will there be traditional inflatable games for the in-person component? So many questions<br />
<br />
^ they're gonna need a lot of disinfectant wipes to clean that shit lol<br />
<br />
==April 7, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
<br />
... did anyone else notice that the story highlights posted about Maddie, Kathryn, Caitlyn, and Charlie on the UB instagram each have a sort of 90's themed backdrop? Am I reading into things or could this be H U G E?<br />

Vaccine eligibility expands to everyone in Illinois. If all students got vaccinated on this day (IF) Knox would be fully immunized by May 24! Vaccination is important to consider in flunk plans.<br />
<br />
^ notably, a lot of people were able to get vaccinated earlier because of working for the college (or going to Peoria since the rules are less strict there I guess?), so hopefully we'll be able to get a lot of campus vaccinated ASAP!<br />
<br />
==April 13, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
First day of Ramadan, this will probably not be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
==April 14, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Day of Dialogue. Probably not Flunk Day.<br />
<br />
I heard whispers through the grape vine that they were trying to get a dunk tank again. If this is true will be obvious when Flunk day is.<br />
<br />
==April 15, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
Maddie seen chatting with Dean McLean outside of his office at approximately 3:05 PM. Seems like some flunky business might be going on<br />
<br />
==April 19, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
Flunk before today statistically and realistically very unlikely. Pre-18th flunks are rare, plus COVID.<br />
<br />
A notable Flunk-related staff person (forgot who lol) is out this coming week, so probably no flunk. Unless they're messing with us??<br />
<br />
I believe this to be a fucking lie. Do not trust Caitlin.<br />
<br />
Dude c'mon<br />
<br />
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT FLUNK DAY IS CONDIMENT THEMED! CONFIRMED BY MADDIE AT UB EXEC MEETING.<br />
<br />
what no<br />
<br />
^^ Maddie here. Let it be known that this condiment theme was a joke brought about by UB exec antics. Or is it?? I'm thinking we should scrap everything we've got going so far and start anew with some relish themed attractions. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Spotted Maddie and Caitlin walking into Seymour at around 10pm.. sneaky sneaky<br />

Caitlin's been telling everyone "flunk day is tomorrow" recently. Could it be sooner than we think?<br />
<br />
==April 22, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
“I heard it was April 22nd, but it was from a drunk sophomore”<br />
<br />
Honestly,<br />
The weather is much better this week and specifically Thursday.<br />
So flunk day is on earth day!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
flunk email sent!! HUGE<br />
<br />
they even linked this page....I'm finally famous...<br />
<br />
Biggest new info: THE FESTIVITIES START AT SEVEN!! I better not see any 6AM updates like "oh it isn't today :(". Don't wake up early / stay up late unnecessarily.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flunk Day Hotline is up!!! If you call (309) 341-8008, a message will be played telling you whether it is Flunk Day or not!! Check everyday, maybe hints will be dropped?!? <br />
<br />
Woah, bringing this back??? Radddd<br />
<br />
8008 like boob ahaha<br />

Senator and Friar Andrew Liput thinks it'll be before the 13th. What does he know? DOES he know ANYTHING?? At all????<br />
<br />
^i love senator and friar and ex-snu president andrew liput but I don't think he knows anything in this specific case<br />
<br />
Caitlin DYED HER HAIR this weekend, just like she told me she would do in preparation for Flunk Day! I still think she was lying though<br />
<br />
First Flunk Day Scare... here comes the flunk.<br />
<br />
Additionally, preregistration starts today. This doesn't really matter to Flunk (it's happened during pre-registration in the past) but be sure to register for classes!!<br />
<br />
==April 27, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
<br />
Maddie got a SHIT TON of packages both today and yesterday - this has to be a sign that Flunk is right around the corner<br />
<br />
^ Those same packages had to be delivered to the UB office in Seymour! Flunk Day has to be next week and these are all the final orders for it, I'm calling that right now<br />
<br />
==April 28, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
Big ole Moderna on-campus vaccine clinic. The first Moderna vaccine shot has decent effectiveness after two weeks... May the 12th??<br />
<br />
Most likely not this day because of the clinic. Probably not before as they want to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated. That's my take. But I'm a first year so my opinion means little.<br />
<br />
^it's okay first year!!! your opinion doesn't mean much but it totally will not be on the clinic (unless they spike people's alcohol with the vaccine...)<br />
<br />
new question on symptom tracker, asking how vaccinated we are<br />
<br />
==April 29, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
<br />
The college is really assertively marketing this day as #KnoxProud day. Could this be a cover-up for Flunk?<br />
<br />
Flunk Day is this day confirmed!!!!<br />
<br />
I hope that its this day because I have school work...<br />
<br />
==April 30, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2019]]<br />
<br />
Personally, I'm betting we won't have an April flunk this year- with Caitlin basically running all the Earth Month events, I think (if only for her sanity) we'll probably have a May flunk.<br />
<br />
Caitlin has gone insane, maybe this year's Flunk is a part of Earth Month? What's more sustainable than a 99 year long tradition?<br />
<br />
Can confirm that Caitlin is extra stressed lately, maybe its earth day planning or maybe it's other shenanigans coming up soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
Has anyone noticed Caitlin's IG story says "Feelin' Flunky" ???? and the question is about childhood movies?? Is this a hint????<br />
<br />
^ Maddie posted on her IG story asking for childhood aesthetics too!!<br />
<br />
==May 2, 2021 (Sun)==<br />
[[Flunk Day 2018]]<br />
<br />
No April Flunk. I think most of us can agree on that much.<br />
<br />
==May 3, 2021 (Mon)==<br />
<br />
The last faculty meeting of the year falls on May 3rd, so the odds of the flunk falling on this day aren't looking good. But perhaps the 4th fill be with us!<br />
<br />
they mowing the grass!!!! huuugghe news<br />

[[Flunk Day 2017]]<br />
<br />
Would very much like this day, as is my birthday. I need a w.<br />
<br />
here's my take: if it's not the 4th, it's the 13th. Also it's star wars day (May the fourth be with you).<br />
<br />
maybe this day bc of the weird freezer that’s been sitting in a parking lot recently, feels like the contents need to be dealt with soon<br />
<br />
^the freezer is just cause a cooler went down in dining :/<br />
<br />
There's the friars.... one minute left to see if it's real.<br />
<br />
Alright, go to class. Lot of misplaced confidence on this one lol<br />
<br />
Maddie has two packages sitting in WAC right now- at least one is from Dick Blick. Art Flunk real?<br />
<br />
^ Maddie is DEF not an art student so this is extra weird<br />
<br />
According to Caitlin: sports will not be spared. Theatre will not be spared. There was a fish at Green Oaks today.<br />
<br />
==May 5, 2021 (Wed)==<br />
According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
When asking Maddie about Cinco de Flunko, she just laughed. This has to be the day.<br />
<br />
I honestly don't think it will be much later than this date. The reasons for a later date irt COVID-19 vaccines make sense, but given that the Flunk date was more than likely chosen before the vaccine rollout was well-established in Illinois, I don't think it is as much of a determining factor as people think.<br />
<br />
^ I would agree with this, but Caitlin has claimed (perhaps a lie) that Admin had to reschedule Flunk because of an interference with an "important day". I don't know what that means, but if true, the date for Flunk Day has probably changed recently enough that they are able to consider vaccine stuff.<br />
<br />
is it a lie? I'll never tell, XOXO Gossip Girl<br />
<br />
It's going to be nice and sunny on the 5th...yes no one could know this in advance IN THEORY, but we did get a rainy day during the "under the sea" year, so who can say?<br />
<br />
Jeff Grace has made Wednesday a no-class day without any explanation for Beginning Acting...does he know something we don't?<br />
<br />
Amanda Dermer probably have an idea of when flunk day is. Would she schedule FSL week during flunk day?<br />
<br />
^^^^ yes because they only planned it like 3 weeks ago<br />
<br />
^^ also im pretty sure she doesn’t know the day. I know Raina and Jake do but Amanda isn’t specifically told unless one of them leaked it<br />
<br />
Caitlins Instagram story Thats so Raven and another image from an early 2000’s show both saying hint in the corner. Would they continue to tease the theme this late in the game?<br />

According to Deana Nichols, May 5th through 9th will not be Flunk Day. On a related note, come see The How and the Why on these dates!<br />
<br />
Why have we not speculated about this day. Is the hype for Cinco de Flunko too big.<br />
<br />
Overheard a group of upperclassmen planning for Flunk on the 6th. Which probably means nothing, what do they know. But it could mean everything.<br />
<br />
They friared falsely again this morning...<br />
<br />
Speaking of Friars they got an email today about what to do the day of, and about shirts. Flunk Day is imminent.<br />

Today the facstaff list got an email titled "Uphold the Flunk Day Winning Streak!" Huge Flunk news!! Flunk day next week??<br />
<br />
The How and the Why was great btw<br />

[[Jonathan Powers]] always says Flunk Day will be May 9th, and since Jonathan Powers is always right, why not a Sunday Flunk Day for a change?<br />

My first bet as a senior was this day, later flunk to put more distance on Covid, and a Monday cause Monday flunks are the dream. -Matt Cagle<br />
<br />
^ I would be pro-Monday flunk but I want Sherwood to be able to have his playwriting/screenwriting workshop. Like I'm sure it's not in the calculation, but if Sherwood is wronged, I will cry. -Sarah W<br />
<br />
^^ if Monday flunk happens we should all zoom into class just wasted and read plays -Morghan<br />
<br />
4/5 WVKC staff meeting today, we think flunk will be this week. No intel, just passion.<br />
<br />
Okay so I have a theory. This date also happens to be Maddie's 21st - could the team be planning a big birthday bash of a Flunk? To even further add to the greatness of a Monday Flunk???<br />
<br />
This is my birthday so I think it’s gonna be flunk day because I want it to be<br />
<br />
Gotta be this week.<br />
<br />
If you saw the deleted revision, someone copy-pasted a bunch of stuff from 2018. Fuck knows why.<br />
<br />
A lot of Campus Safety were walking around according to dining workers. Did someone get their dates mixed up? Is campus safety the new friars?<br />
<br />
7 AM came and went without either an email from Deb or a final scare from the friars. My long-standing theory of a birthday flunk is, alas, not true. But still go wish Maddie a happy birthday today!<br />
<br />
==May 11, 2021 (Tue)==<br />
i think flunk day is either today or tomorrow because everyone who went to the farm bureau for the knox vaccine days are getting their second vaccine on April 29th and May 11th and 12th are pretty close to the 2 week mark after the vaccine<br />
<br />
A big metal contraption was posted on Cox Knollege...is this proof that flunk day is today? Who is to say.<br />
<br />
I dreamt that today was Flunk Day which means it must be<br />
<br />
UB members signed up for their flunk day shifts today!! Flunk day is fast approaching<br />
<br />
^for the uninformed where can we get shirts day of?<br />
^ there will be a table to pick up shirts all day!<br />

Two weeks after vaccination clinic... Good opportunity to facilitate reckless bacchanalia.<br />
Will you kiss your Pfizer Papi's, Moderna Mami's and Johnson & Johnson Baddies?<br />
<br />
Ya’ll aren’t hyping up Wednesday flunk enough. I think we all might actually wake and be surprised that flunk day is today! Also the Ramadaan fasting has ended? That’s what I heard and it’s Eid today<br />

<br />
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE FLUNK<br />
<br />
Twas the night before flunk day<br />
<br />
when all throughout Knox,<br />
<br />
not a creature was staring, not even the Fox.<br />
<br />
The Wiki and Facebook both opened with care,<br />
<br />
in the hopes that flunk day news would soon be there.<br />
<br />
The friars were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />
<br />
while visions of flunk day danced in their heads.<br />
<br />
Roommate with booze, an i with my stash,<br />
<br />
were all buckled in for this crazy ol' bash.<br />
<br />
When out in the Quads arose such a clatter,<br />
<br />
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />
<br />
Away to the window i flew in a flash,<br />
<br />
where someone there shouted, "Get off your ass!".<br />
<br />
The sun on top of newly made mud,<br />
<br />
gave excitement and awe to the first years and their buds.<br />
<br />
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />
<br />
but a big group of seniors, with a whole lot of cheer!<br />
<br />
With a check to my inbox, to see what they say,<br />
<br />
i knew in a moment it must be Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
More rapid than eagles, the friars they came,<br />
<br />
they whistled and shouted, and called out by name:<br />
<br />
"Now Conger! Now Neal! Now Elder and Four name!"<br />
<br />
oh, Post!, Furrow, and Sherwin, don't dare be lame!<br />
<br />
To the porches with parties! To the lawn of old main!<br />
<br />
now drink away! drink away!<br />
<br />
Lets all go insane!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
y'all, caitlin posted on snap that she's dying her hair last night and when asked if she was doing the rest tonight she laughed maniacally. Flunk confirmed<br />
<br />
Raina in campus life looking stressed!!<br />
<br />
Big boxes delivered to UB office yesterday!!!<br />
<br />
Maddie is seen frantically running around Seymour. Tomorrow HAS to be the day<br />
<br />
Craig Johnson sends email about missing speaker needing to be returned urgently! does this mean flunk is tomorrow and they need it for the performance??????<br />
^thats what I was thinking<br />
<br />
Maddie posted a snap to her story this afternoon which shows deputy coordinator Charlie wearing his very own "co-coordinator" shirt (so cute) which has the logo intentionally blurred out. Flunk Day is near<br />
<br />
campus wide four day flunk day bender????<br />
<br />
^LETS FUCKING GOOO<br />
<br />
dont know why we’re all still talking about this ?? im pretty sure flunk day already happened and nobody noticed<br />
<br />
==May 13, 2021 (Thu)==<br />
Ramadan is over on May 12, this would be a great day for Flunk Day!<br />
<br />
According to Sarah Wallenfelsz's math, a flunk hasn't been during Ramadan during any of the dates we know of, but it also hasn't had many opportunities to.<br />
<br />
This is the safe bet, its right after Ramadan, and its week 8 so most people will be vaccinated. Bet on this day.<br />
<br />
Of note, Eid ends on the evening of the 13th.<br />
<br />
A later flunk day to make sure everyone has at least one vaccine is probably very likely. Due to no flunks on fridays, there is a good possibility for May 13th to be the day. Just hope it doesn't rain or something.<br />
<br />
WE ALL KNOW IT'S MAY 13TH BECAUSE MADDIE SAID IT ISN'T NOT MAY 13TH AND MADDIE KNOWS EVERYTHING<br />
<br />
baseball has an away game this day<br />
<br />
omg guys thanks for planning a may 13 flunk how'd you know this was my birthday chahaha *bites lip* -anna m<br />
<br />
During a dress rehearsal for "The How and the Why", Craig Choma said very confidently that the 13th was Flunk Day, so that's as good as gospel really...<br />
<br />
^Craig has been around for a long time but do we know how many times he has predicted it right?<br />
<br />
Typing this to place my wish for a Thursday flunk (classes after flunk day usually get cancelled... hello 4 day weekend babyyy!)<br />
<br />
Matthew Jones-Rhodes thinks Flunk is this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
^ Heather Hoffmann ALSO thinks it's this day ... hmmm...<br />
^^ Emily Anderson ALSO thinks it's this day... hmmm...<br />
<br />
I’m not sure that they would do flunk day on a covid testing day...<---I think they would, but that's just me. Don't have any evidence, I just feel like it's probable.<br />
<br />
Stuart Allison reaaalllly thinks today is the day. "Faculty will be grumpy"<br />
He also mentioned that faculty have a kind of deal that it won’t be after week seven. Obviously not applicable this year, but good to know for the future!<br />
<br />
Mentally willing it to be this day because it would be convenient for me personally.<br />
<br />
Whats This?! A video I made instead of doing school work talking about why today is probably flunk day!! Check it out to validate your own hopes for this day. -Matt Cagle<br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdhFT7aqoXk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
Cate Denial thinks flunk day is today! flunk confirmed???<br />
<br />
I saw the Caitlin calendar thing mentioned in the video, and when someone mentioned that her calendar was visible she just said lol... so was it a trick 👀 <br />
^ I love my calendar, I put everything in it!!<br />
<br />
weather looking really nice today, compared to week 9 at least. Hope its today for weather reasons.<br />
<br />
Bill Young thinks that Flunk Day will be today, and that they will attempt to make us believe it won't be as to prevent us from drinking Wednesday night<br />
<br />
<br />
Caitlin's calendar just went back to normal??? Who hacked for the cause????<br />
<br />
<br />
The planners seem to be really pushing the idea that Flunk is this day which seems like a good sign that its not<br />
<br />
^^ or they are using reverse psychology on us to make us think just that!<br />
<br />
^^^^^ mad agree, i'm convinced there's an intense game of 5-d chess to get us to think that it'll be monday when it's tomorrow<br />
<br />
Cleaners came a day early... wonder why. Nope can't think of any reason at all.<br />
<br />
I will be pissed off if it isn't today.<br />
<br />
Update about flunk day performers: it is not beach bunny. the drummer follows me on IG and I dm'd him to ask and he said they are not performing at knox<br />
^isn’t that exactly what he would say if he WAS performing at knox? Holding out hope<br />
<br />
^^ also will be pissed if it’s not today,idk why anyone wants a Monday flunk = starting your week off partying ... 🤮🤢<br />
<br />
if flunk isn't today we should just do it the old-fashioned way and ditch class en-masse. monday flunk is a boner idea<br />
<br />
will not name names, but Maddie tucker enlisted an art student to make a painting/backdrop for flunk day. This student asked for an extension on a project for a class because they'd be working on it "all weekend". <—-well tell that student all that effort is going to waste because the rest of the student body has decided it’s tomorrow. This is my call for anarchy. Flunk Day can be whenever we want it to be.<br />
<br />
^^wait as in they'd be working on the flunk day art all weekend or implying they spent this week workin on the flunk art and now have to finish their project???<br />
<br />
^ u didnt hear this from me but there were actually three art students enlisted 🤫<br />
<br />
I do want to point out that Smash Mouth has no shows on their website so they could be the musical act!!!<br />
<br />
Per source there are no trucks in Monmouth hotel parking lots a big blow to this day....>>>> per cox knollege there are HUGE TRUCKS from Knight Transportation at Walmart hehe<br />
<br />
idk if this is anything but there are orange cones and tickets on cars in the lot behind the frats by the quads<br />
<br />
The great Bob Lallky has spoken words of wisdom to Cox knollege. This must be a good omen<br />
<br />
==May 14, 2021 (Fri)==<br />
Matt Cagle won't stop saying Friday Flunk is happening. Hasn't happened historically, but what is 2021 if not a year of change?<br />
<br />
Alright so... we all know May 13th is the safe bet, but the only thing that makes Thursday not likely is that apparently the flunk planners all have labs that day. So if it can't be before May 13th due to Ramadan, if it can't be Thursday because the planners don't wanna miss labs, and a week 9 flunk has never happened then clearly it is Friday. What better way to jumpstart the heart of Knox College but with a Friday Flunk, that lasts all throughout the weekend!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_LnA822IE0&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
^^I know for a fact Caitlyn would be happy to miss our Thursday lab<br />
^^^^^^ Hey, I love both my Thursday labs, would still go in even if Flunk probably<br />
<br />
cant be this day, track has a meet<br />
<br />
^^^sports don't mean shit to flunk. baseball got shafted in flunk 2018<br />
<br />
^^^^ baseball only got shafted in 2018 because it was a rescheduled game<br />
<br />
Also Machinal performance this evening :(( so please no. But come see it!!<br />
<br />
Literally both clubs I'm in exec in have big events today I hope its not friday aaaaaa<br />

This is my mom's birthday AND benf's birthday. coincidence?? Flunk Confirmed????<br />
<br />
Week nine flunk? probs not but heck u.<br />
<br />
You never know with covid<br />
<br />
I hope its not week 9 only because of what I have seen on Twitter... However here is a video about why it could be week 9 I made! <br />
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnLX1K2mcvk&ab_channel=FantasticMr.Blue<br />
<br />
The more I think about it the more I lean towards a week 9 monday flunk. This is a terrifying thought. I pray these thoughts are false.<br />
<br />
Apparently there's a faculty email saying flunk is going to be week 9- no proof of this email, and claims from some faculty that it doesn't exist, but the week 9 flunk seems like a possibility. Could also be some faculty lying/bluffing? Who knows.<br />
<br />
This is big if true^^^^<br />
<br />
supposed to rain today. 40% chance.>>> huhu we don't want another wet and sad flunk day :(<br />
<br />
Lot of people coming out with large support for this day on Cox Knollege, they claim to have a good source, who could this source be?<br />
<br />
allegedly: campus safety locks academic buildings on flunk day. last monday (may 10th), campus safety locked academic buildings. did they get the monday wrong? >>> They actually lock it everyday for SAFETY purposes!!!<br />
<br />
^they lock them every monday morning before classes start??? lol<br />
<br />
Monday Flunk has been revealed to me be enlightened and join us!!! >> reveal urself, monday flunk source<br />
