School’s Out For Summer

It’s time for the Jerk blog to take a vacation. See you in September! In the meantime, enjoy jerkmagazine.net – expect an update for the May issue in the coming days.

In other news, Jerk was named the best student magazine in Region 1 by the Society of Professional Journalists! Pretty rad, eh? Congrats to the other award winners from Cuse as well.

Thanks for another great semester. It was our best yet by far with nearly 30,000 hits since January! You stay classy, Syracuse.

Playing Hookey Never Looked So Good

Do you ever think to yourself, “Wow, I could really use a day off?” Well I’ve been thinking that a lot lately and with finals approaching, I figured the feeling was mutual. So to brighten our spirits, I decided to write about the kid who had such a thrilling, fun-filled day off that it could only happen in the movies: Mr. Ferris Bueller.

A classic.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is one of those movies that you truly wish would happen in real life. In fact, I went through high school dreaming a stud like the young Matthew Broderick would come pretend that my grandmother died and bust me out of school. Unfortunately, that never happened. My sister busted me out of school once, but it wasn’t quite the same (still cool though – thanks Kate).
