Students prove immaturity one boo at a time during chapel

Some of you text. Some of you talk. Some of you study. Some of you listen to music. All disrespectful activities, but Wednesday the chapel disrespect hit a new low.

For anyone who wasn’t there, as soon as Dr. Burks got up to the mic, he was greeted with boos. The booing eventually escalated to the point that it drowned out Burks, who was left standing at the mic for a minute or so until the booing subsided.

Uncalled for and preemptive, the booing was unjustified, unfunny and out of control.

Admittedly, no one wanted to go to school when it was expected to snow. But we could have waited for him to make the announcement, and we were all pretty sure that school was going to be canceled anyway.

As if the booing wasn’t enough, students in the balcony, apparently seized by snow frenzy, folded the reconciliation cards into paper planes and launched them during the prayer. By the time chapel was dismissed, the floor was littered with crumpled, unused reconciliation cards.

In summary, students jumped the gun with their frustration, missed the point of chapel and proved their immaturity.

Way to go, Harding students. We can do better.

Ihate Coldplay. I said it. It doesn’t matter what you say to me. I will not change my mind. I will not budge. I will not falter. I don’t care how many mission trip videos I see with “Fix You” as the background music. I absolutely hate Coldplay.

Now that I have made my confession that absolutely shocked students at Harding’s campus, I am forced to apologize for doing so. I am sorry.

Let me introduce myself. I am Cody. It is nice to finally meet you. My interests include watching millions of movies, reading books and listening to music. I listen to all different genres of music. Name a genre, and I can probably find at least one song that I will like. Some of my favorite bands/artists include Mates of State, Chiddy Bang, Lady Antebellum, Bob Dylan, The Avett Brothers, Kanye West and many more. Some of you may have started making fun of me at this point. That
