Hello friends, supportive readers, and those of you afraid of our motives because you’ve still neglected to gander at our About Us page. I have some good news and s
ome bad news. I will present you with the bad news first. This semester will be the last semester that The Northern Plight will be an active blog. After a long conversation with Woodward I have decided that I want TNP to end on a high note. I’d rather burn out than fade away.
I cannot stress how much I have appreciated all of the visits and comments you guys have left. This blog has made this year one of the happiest and most fulfilling of my short 22 on this earth. Last July I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me I would be running a website that receives over 1,500 hits a day (for the last two months), had 117 posts, 1,055 reader comments, and over 100,000 total visits.
Now for the good news. For the last month of it’s existence, The Northern Plight is going to switch things around a bit. We want to hear from the readers. I want to encourage you to submit your own articles. We will accept any format, for example; News Snippets, Polls, Survival Guides, News Articles, and of course HEADLINES.
So it’s up to you to help us make this last month memorable. Depending on the response, I intend to post any and every submission. Thank you so much for the last year. Submit all articles to northernplight@gmail.com and let me know if you want to remain anonymous or use a pen name.

A tear just ran down my cheek.

NOOOOO!!!! I don’t want this site to end!!!

What Bernstein neglected to mention is that we will both be soon pursuing further blog projects that reflect our post-college pursuits.
We’ll be posting links when we feel they’re up to the caliber you’ve come to expect from the plight.

this was the greatest part of my year. i love this site so much… and will miss it

i think on the last article posted we should all put our real names on the comments so we can smile awkwardly at each other in the skyways…
or just keep it a mystery with our stealthy fake names…hmmm something to ponder…but i will miss the plight dearly…

Nah dude. This isn’t THE last post. It’s just the beginning of the end. Not the end.
Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 11:50 pm |
Well damn.
Thursday, April 10, 2008 at 11:51 pm |
It really feels more like the end of the beginning. Are we somewhere near the middle now?
Friday, April 11, 2008 at 1:41 am |
shoot i want to submit an article but i want my real name used… is that ok?
Friday, April 11, 2008 at 1:41 pm |
I will be sooooo sad to see you go. But I do look forward to your new blog projects.

So . . . Bernstein is a 22 year old, male, commuter . . . and I’m guessing has had several parking tickets and been booted by security, skips chapel, and has a problem with emos . . . or is that emus? (No emo is correct, an emu is a large flightless bird!)
I did some back-checking on past blogs!
Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 4:34 pm |
good run.
but all things must come to an end. maybe bernstein is an emu

2wp.
Depending on the content of your article you are more than welcome to use your real name. Submit one and we’ll talk.
AIM is still popular right?

Well, crap. Oh well…”all good things must come to an end.”
It might be nice to finally get some shirts though…they can be named after our fellow poster: “TNP R.I.P.”
I’d buy one. And then on the back we can list some of the better one-liners from the site.
Who’s with me???

I think that we should all actually meet face-to-face but still not tell everyone who we were on the site…that we everyone still has to guess, and that way the founders can still remain anonymous while enjoying the party.
And we SHOULD have a party. With cake.
It would be lovely.

i love cake…almost more than taco bell..and i LOVE taco bell…i also love that idea…so the list goes as fallows
1. jesus

4. The idea above ^
5. cookies

i don’t know why i typed fallows instead of follows…consider this the correction.

pity- ive enjoyed reading the plight this year and have agreed with your witty satire nearly all the time. i look forward to more of your highly amusing and thoughtful pieces in the future. see ya at graduation…
Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 10:05 pm |
I’d buy the shirt . . . maybe a couple!
I’d come to a party too!
. . . but only if there’s cake!

really sad to see this happen = ( i no longer attend north central, but i think i would be willing to make the 11 hour drive to learn the identity of some of you hooligans.

You guys were great. I was pretty sad after the Northern Light was put out by the administration. I hope you’ll keep writing.
