Many students were blindsided by a recent announcement: The long-awaited East Chapel Hill Apocalypse will have to be postponed to next Friday due to the poor cleanliness of Freshman Hill.
The Armageddon-level event was first announced Oct. 4 through the morning announcements. Students recall a sinister voice telling them about the East Chapel Hill Apocalypse and where they could buy tickets, immediately causing many to become hyped for the event.
“I was instantly on board, it finally felt like our principal was thinking about the students,” junior Sam Elle said. “Most of the students here are looking for an escape from the constant schoolwork, and I honestly think the Apocalypse was the perfect solution for that.”
However, after the delay was announced, the general sentiment toward Principal Casey took a turn.
“It’s the worst decision he’s made yet,” senior Joseph Mothuer said. “I was excited for the end of the world, but now it’s at the same time as the Speedrunning Club meet, so I won’t even be able to watch the setup, much less the summoning.”
“I understand that the postponement is a major disappointment to the students at East,” Casey said. ”But it’s just not feasible right now. The amount of trash on the hill is unreasonable, the staff shouldn’t have to pick up trash before drawing the ritual circle, allowing the Great Watcher Alhorfandius to reign free upon the mortal realm, tearing up all matter atom-by-atom to finally achieve perfect order across the multiverse. Hopefully this delay will help teach the students to pick up after themselves after lunch.”
