Group of first years mistake GP room for pres due to noise levels


Following the culling of study spaces across Burgmann, sesh-gremlins and Tuckwells alike have been flocking to the hottest new club in Canberra; the GP room.

The state of the pandemonium was illustrated last Thursday afternoon at 4:30pm. A group of unassuming first years migrated from 2B convo to the GP room with a UE Boom and a large bucket containing a Johns XXIII mug floating in some murky unidentified liquid.

“We just stayed down there in the end” stated one first year, citing that besides their attire there wasn’t much difference between the vibe of the GP room and their flarty upstairs.

This incident is not a stand alone and is rather emblematic of a wider problem. What was once a place for study and collaboration, the GP room has become some strange purgatory akin to the lane between Moose and Wolf. Residents no longer study there but instead sit to chat in between smoke breaks and getting a hot chocolate from the dining hall. It is blatantly clear how focused the demographic is there, since every time one walks in from the dining hall, the whole table looks up to see who has walked in to assess whether they are worth some low quality banter.

“If I have to listen to one more person in the GP room pretend not to understand something to “get help” I am moving to Wright. YOU DO GET IT. YOU HAVE AN HD AVERAGE. ” – one second year despaired to this reporter.

Deputy principal Amelia has a positive outlook on the GP room’s new vibe - “At least having that many people in such close proximity gives those with comedic genius a chance to play a recording of the fire alarm and endearingly prank everyone!”.
