We all fall victim to the notorious snooze bottom every once and awhile. Some of us, a little too often.
One student decided to press his luck a little too far. On the first day of classes, Denzel Von Shrouttenbottom was woken up abruptly for his 7:00 am yoga class by his alarm. The sweet sound of “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance was suddenly stopped once Denzel hit the snooze button.
His alarm sounded again, but this time the anthem of all teenage angst was not stopped and continued to ring throughout the apartment.
“When I first met him, he looked like someone who listened to Blink-182 and Paramore just a little too much,” Chad McDonald, Shrouttenbottom’s roommate, told the Alternate Universe. “Honestly, I just thought that he was down bad and needed some space.”
“After a few months, I started to get worried about him. But you know how men are. We don’t talk about our feelings, that’s what music is for.”
After months of his roommates fulfilling the masculine urge to not reach out to one another, Von Shrouttenbottom suddenly woke up.
“I don’t know what it was. I just woke up,” Shrouttenbottom said. “I guess in my dreams, I finally saw the black parade.”
Once he woke up, he sprung up from his bed and put on the first clothes he could find. As he was sprinting to class, he looked at his phone and realized today was his final. Shrouttenbottom then immediately began running to go take his yoga final.
He got there in a nick of time and passed his yoga final with 100%! Unfortunately, the four other classes for which he was signed up absolutely decimated his GPA, and he flunked out of the college.
Take away lesson? Don’t drink and drive, kids.
