Welcome, Parents
The Thresher would like to be the first to welcome the tidal wave of parents that arrive on campus for Families Weekend (see story, page 7). Before you begin cleaning our rooms and folding our laundry, you should take some time to walk around campus and enjoy the many construction projects that your paid tuition money does not even begin to cover. As students that are dying to just make it to the weekend, we ask that you refrain from answering questions or making silly comments in the classes you visit, unless specifically invited to do so. In return, the body will make a concerted effort to turn the music down and make it look like we are here to develop marketable skills.
Having said that, the Thresher is happy to report that college life is still great, the campus is more gorgeous than ever and you are to thank for giving us this opportunity. We appreciate you all and everything you have done for us. Now, please get out of our room; feel free to take us out to a fancy dinner later.

Review: 'Adults' couldn’t have matured better
Sitcoms are back, and they’re actually funny. FX’s “Adults” is an original comedy following a friend group navigating New York and what it means to be an “actual adult.” From ever-mounting medical bills to chaotic dinner parties, the group attempts to tackle this new stage of life together, only to be met with varying levels of success.
