As Halloween passes, the real monsters of the season begin to awaken: deadlines, unfinished projects and mid-terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you\u2019re well-rested after the holiday and refreshed by all the spooky fun. How were the costumes this year? Which one did you like the most? Every October, people dress as ghosts, witches and vampires. I dressed as a cowboy girl\u2014but honestly, have you seen the look on a student\u2019s face when they realize they won\u2019t manage to cover all the material before the exam? That\u2019s the stuff of true horror. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And of course, Halloween wouldn\u2019t be complete without a few legends and conspiracy theories being whispered in the dark. From haunted places to secret experiments, it\u2019s the season of stories that blur the line between truth and myth. Speaking of which, have you ever heard the legend of Pentagon Pizza Curve? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Legend is that whenever something serious or critical happens in the world, pizza orders near the Pentagon skyrocket. In times of crisis, people crave comfort food\u2014and nothing says \u201ccalm down\u201d like a hot, cheesy pizza. It seems to be the most reliable crisis detector of them all. Signaling that things are heating up…literally and figuratively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, let\u2019s bring this theory closer to home: Bilkent University. If the Pentagon Pizza Curve holds any truth, then mid-term week here is its ultimate proof. During these tense days, you know which brother is helping you around the campus. Libraries overflow with caffeine-powered students, and the delivery guy becomes the hero or at least a popular member of campus life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So next time you\u2019re pulling an all-nighter or revising your notes while eating slices of pepperoni, remember: you\u2019re part of the grand tradition of crisis pizza-eaters. In the end, whether you ace your exams or not, one thing\u2019s for sure: pizza is the real MVP of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By \u0130rem Naz Duymu\u015f (AMER\/III) & Eda Emeko\u011flu (AMER\/III) nazduymus@ug.bilkent.edu.tr eda.emekoglu@ug.bilkent.edu.tr Trick or treat?
