Year after year, the admissions office waxes poetic about the virtues of a "well-rounded class"—a class whose members have every expertise imaginable, from the International Math Olympian to the internationally ranked pole vaulter. And for the most part, they must have succeeded: everyone has a friend of a friend with an obscure talent honed to perfection.
Not so, says Mariah Carey. "Up Out My Face," released from her upcoming album, takes a swipe at the Lego skillz of this year's senior class:
If we were two Lego blocksEven the Harvard University graduating class of 2010
Couldn’t put us back together again.
Flyby would be flabbergasted if no one in the class of 2010 spent a childhood building edifices to humanity from these interlocking bricks. And the seniors may not take those lyrics sitting down, if Class Marshal Shiv M. Gaglani '10 is to be believed:
Maybe we'll take her up on the challenge. I'm positive we have somebody in our class who can build Lego robots that can take over the world.
And if not, Mariah, look no further than that tech school downriver.
