Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/2/25


3 Up

1. John Cena Heel Turn - It. Was. Memorable. I apologize if you aren't a wrestling fan, but everything that happened on Saturday night won the week for me. Loved it. 

1a. Elimination Chamber - Following up on the Cena heel turn, Elimination Chamber was also an overall event all-time. From top to bottom. Just great stuff.

2. Black History Month - Can we still appreciate this month? Sort of joking. But seriously. 

3. Spring Training - Ah, yes, baseball is around the corner. Can't wait.

1. Oval Office Drama - Mannnnn, we're living in some wild times. What unfolded in the Oval Office was something out of what we see in a reality TV show. At the same time, the whole thing felt so orchestrated. Ah, well, this is the new norm. I guess? 

2. Epstein Files Release - A nothing burger. We got nothing. And at this point, I doubt we ever will. 

3. Angie Stone - Life is short. So incredibly short. Thanks for the great music, Ms. Stone. :(

The recent discourse around the industry and field has certainly shifted in narrative and the overall feel within it. I recently wrapped up my fourteenth (!!) academic year. It's remarkable to think that I've been serving students and following a passion for this long. This is especially the case considering the rising turnover, the documented yearly burnout, and the increasing exodus from the field.  And, yup, there is that whole enrollment cliff combined with the politics that are more present than ever on college campuses.  So yeah, higher education is weird right now.
