I understand that everybody makes mistakes from time to time. Mischa Barton asked to be written off The OC because she thought she was hot shit. Fine. Car accident and you’re dead. Done and done. Just don’t come crying to me just because nobody has thought about you once in the last three years. In her defense though, she was probably the hottest young actress at the time, and studios were probably lining up at the door to get her. Her real mistake was every decision she made after she left the show.
So while I will make an excuse for Mischa, I’m not making any for the Tyrannosaurus Rex of a mistake that BC is about to make. They are about to launch a pilot program for this check-in system in Walsh, which has complete disaster written all over it. Walsh residents will have to swipe their card upon entering the building. All other BC students have to sign in, and only students that actually live in Walsh can have non-BC guests. And furthermore, “overnight” rules will be enforced as well.
Is this real life? This is Walsh we’re talking about. This has absolutely 0% chance of working. What happens on a Friday night when there are, and this isn’t an understatement, 2000 people going in and out of the building each hour? The line is going to stretch through the Mods, and it’s going to be complete chaos. Not to mention it is just plain wrong to strip away the experience of living in Walsh from all these kids. Now they're all going to run off campus or to senior housing and get into even more trouble. It just bothers me that somebody came up with this idea, said to themselves, “Yeah, this should work,” and then carried on with their day. Ugh.
