Elliot Patterson – The Wellesley News https://thewellesleynews.com The student newspaper of Wellesley College since 1901 Wed, 13 Nov 2024 16:43:50 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.1 Trump Appointee Roasts https://thewellesleynews.com/20360/the-wellesley-snooze/trump-appointee-roasts/ https://thewellesleynews.com/20360/the-wellesley-snooze/trump-appointee-roasts/#respond Wed, 13 Nov 2024 02:06:00 +0000 https://thewellesleynews.com/?p=20360 Marking two monumental firsts, Susie Wiles will serve as Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, the first woman in history to hold the role.

Coincidentally, she will also be the first White House staffer to be paid entirely in Kohl’s Cash.

That’s right, Pre-Ozempic Paula Deen says she humbly accepts this role, and when asked what she’ll be bringing to the table, she simply responded, “Casserole.” 


Donald Trump chooses NY Rep. Elise Stefanik as incoming U.N. Ambassador. You might not remember her name, but you probably recognize her face from the antisemitism on campus congressional hearings and the overbite “before” photo hanging in your orthodontist’s office. Regardless, this DEI hire can’t wait to slam the door behind her!


Donald Trump chooses former ICE Director and star of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” (2009) Tom Homan as his incoming Border Czar.

When asked about Trump’s controversial family separation policy, Blart, sorry, Homan responded by saying the cause is near and dear to his heart, seeing as his (ex) wife and kids won’t talk to him.


“He’s gonna go wild on health,” Trump said with a wink, talking, of course, to the parasitic worm currently residing in RFK Jr’s head. After learning it was not, in fact, a “Ratatouille type of situation” as he had assumed, Trump thought carefully and has since rescinded his offer.


Trump tasks Elon Musk to lead new department, “Government Efficiency Commission.” Musk was hesitant to accept the position and told reporters he was hoping to wait for the Commission to be further established, at which point he could step in and purchase the government office, attaching his name and taking credit for any previous progress. 

Further, Elon mentioned how his father and grandfather’s ties to the South African government helped them greatly profit off of Apartheid, and said he “can’t wait to continue their Musky legacy.”


Donald Trump named Stephen Miller as his Deputy Chief of Staff for policy. A Trump staffer reported, “he actually wasn’t the first choice, Dr. Evil has retired so we had to settle for the mini me.”

“There’s always something sneaky going on behind that big ass forehead, and I like that.” Said Trump. In response, Miller just grinned.

A Wellesley Snooze Need to Know: Why Won’t Obama Release his LSAT Scores? https://thewellesleynews.com/17833/the-wellesley-snooze/a-wellesley-snooze-need-to-know-why-wont-obama-release-his-lsat-scores/ https://thewellesleynews.com/17833/the-wellesley-snooze/a-wellesley-snooze-need-to-know-why-wont-obama-release-his-lsat-scores/#respond Wed, 08 Nov 2023 17:04:31 +0000 https://thewellesleynews.com/?p=17833 I would consider myself to be the ideal Wellesley girl: private preschool, public service internships, and four years of varsity high school lacrosse. After twenty years of dedication, I have come to an abrupt stop in my path to a well-salaried, middle-ranking politician with a fuck-ass bob. As a Wellesley girl, I pride myself on walking the thin line between upper-middle-class values and social media liberalism. This goes without saying, but my idol in every capacity is former President Barack Obama. An undergrad degree from Columbia (with a quick Occidental sized bump along the way) and onto Harvard Law sounds perfect to me. So, when putting together my resume, who else would I copy? Unfortunately, while I can find his GPA (3.5; I could do better than that), I can’t find his LSAT scores. I have scoured every inch of the internet, every college prep blog, and every Tucker Carlson rant. I’ve found his spelling quizzes from fifth grade and his STD panel from sophomore year. I’ve found everything from driving tests to covid tests. But IT is nowhere to be found. Presidential candidates are examined under the most extreme microscopes. Where was he born? What was his religion? What was his health care plan? What time of day does he eat breakfast? How come his daughters have lives and go outside? How many bombs did he drop in the Middle East? What songs are on his monthly playlist? What happened to that chef of his? More importantly…WHAT THE FUCK WAS HIS LSAT SCORE????????? 

God, I need a Xanax.

What to Say Instead of “I go to Wellesley” https://thewellesleynews.com/17426/the-wellesley-snooze/what-to-say-instead-of-i-go-to-wellesley/ https://thewellesleynews.com/17426/the-wellesley-snooze/what-to-say-instead-of-i-go-to-wellesley/#respond Thu, 05 Oct 2023 04:01:27 +0000 http://thewellesleynews.com/?p=17426 Are you tired of having to explain Wellesley to old friends, relatives, new coworkers, randos you meet at the bar, and anyone from your small ass Midwestern hometown? Tired of the phrases “a small liberal arts college” and “HWC”? Have you ever asked yourself, how can I be pretentious the way a man is? We love what the Harvard bros have done with their ever subtle “I went to school in Cambridge.” But, have you as a Wellesley student, ever wanted to emulate that air of East Coast collegiate snobbery (and avoid the inevitable “ … Wesleyan?”)?

Here are some tried and true phrases to say instead of “I go to Wellesley College”

  • I use she/they pronouns
  • My brother school is MIT!
  • Hillary Clinton went there
  • It’s like … a girl Ivy
  • I never got off the Barnard waitlist
  • I’m bi with a boyfriend
  • It’s a sisterhood! (I’m a legacy)
  • We’re only 20 minutes outside of Boston
  • It’s not a Girls School, it’s a (historically) Women’s College
  • No, not Smith or Mount Holyoke, we’re the one that’s actually in civilization 
  • Yeah, I had blue hair in middle school
  • You know, from Mona Lisa Smile (2003), starring Julia Roberts

I Sold My Soul to Fizz https://thewellesleynews.com/17294/the-wellesley-snooze/i-sold-my-soul-to-fizz/ https://thewellesleynews.com/17294/the-wellesley-snooze/i-sold-my-soul-to-fizz/#respond Wed, 20 Sep 2023 19:17:09 +0000 http://thewellesleynews.com/?p=17294

  • Dear Diary,

    Today is my first day of college and I am so excited! I already made one new friend during orientation, and she has a job for me! A new cutting edge and pioneering anonymous Twitter-like app is coming to colleges near me. So, this morning, I pulled on my Lululemon leggings and my oversized hoodie. I threw my hair into a messy bun, laced up my Converse, donned my new white and purple bucket hat and signed my first contract with Fizz!

    • 9/6/23

    No class today so I’m on the clock with Fizz! This morning at 5 a.m. I knocked on everyone’s door in my hall to make sure they knew about this exciting new venture. Most people were a little upset, but I enthusiastically told them that if they scanned this QR code AND made an account, they could win a doughnut and a cool hat like mine. 

    • 9/7/23

    Jumped on a Zoom call with my cool new boss, Josh! I really enjoyed how he addressed me by name after every sentence. I think he likes me. He says if I recruit 30 of my closest friends to work for me, (yes for me) then he would take me out to dinner! And if that’s too complicated, he also said I could blow him!

    • 9/8/23

    I am so tired. Apparently our sign up numbers are not high enough. After 8 hours in the hot sun, all Fizz team members are supposed to meet for some sort of ritual tonight at midnight. I think Josh is in a bad mood or something. Hopefully I can cheer him up.

    • 9/9/23

    All I can remember from last night is getting to Josh’s house before everyone else. A live Fizz feed played on the TV. Except every post was the same. “All Fizz and no play makes Josh a Dull Boy.” From behind me the door creaks open and then my mind goes blank.

    Miss Me With That Gay Shit https://thewellesleynews.com/16611/the-wellesley-snooze/miss-me-with-that-gay-shit/ https://thewellesleynews.com/16611/the-wellesley-snooze/miss-me-with-that-gay-shit/#comments Wed, 08 Mar 2023 17:00:30 +0000 http://thewellesleynews.com/?p=16611 What does Wellesley mean by women’s college? Vagina. Monday, March 6, 2023, Wellesley College President Paula Johnson came out with a harsh anti-trans statement. Johnson’s email was triggered by recent support for the “Gender Ballot,” a ballot measure asking for more inclusive language in college communications, the acknowledgment of trans and non-binary applicants, and if we can please just have some they/them as a little treat because we’ve been on our best behavior. To all demands, Paula replied with a harsh no. 

    Within the email, Johnson praises the nonbinary population of Wellesley who “consistently identify as women.” Among other favorites are lesbians who consistently identify as straight and your first-year roommate who consistently identifies as “someone who showers.” 

    Johnson came out in direct support of the students “who are committed to Wellesley’s mission.” She even added some real-life examples of brave (female) Wellesley students who were held at gunpoint by a mob of non-binary freaks demanding they (multiple women, not a non-binary) must add the word “historically” when they tell people they go to a women’s college. This was followed by a brief anecdote about the witch hunt against JK Rowling and how much PJ loves Harry Potter. She then ended the email with some reading recommendations for “those angry dykes” including a Breitbart News article entitled “Top 10 Times Christianity Got it Right the First Go Around” and the recently released Matt Walsh documentary film “What is a Woman.”

    We would like to assure our Snooze readers, however, that Paula is not doing nothing to ally with our “non-binary sisters” (PJ 2023). While coming out against the ballot measure, the administration has proposed a number of actions to increase inclusivity on campus. First, the college will continue to post pictures of campus’s most blue-haired and liberal theys directly to instagram, our website, and college brochures. The Stone Center will now be offering conversion therapy for any students who wish to remain at Wellesley in spite of recent pronoun changes. The new program advertises “Back to she/they in less than three months. She/her within a year.” Finally, Johnson pledges to clarify during the application process that Wellesley accepts women only and to “miss her with that gay shit.”
