MSJMCW Story

Multicultural week has something for everyone, whether it be the food, the fancy clothes, the extended lunch, or have a chance to show their talents in public...or that's what we're led to believe. Multicultural week is, in fact, a poorly-organized excuse for clubs to sell food and make money. There are very few people who still celebrate the meaning of multicultural week. Take my friend Boyu, for example.  "Oh, Multicultural week is just an excuse for those not fortunate enough to have their [driver's] license to get some food...no one really cares about the multi-cultural aspect anymore. It's basically bs," he says.

The ticket lines and ridiculous prices are simply too inconvenient for even the food to be appreciated by many upper-classmen, for whom the extended lunch is a blessing.  "It gives us a chance to drive farther than normal, with less time pressure," says veteran lunch-driver Taasin Saquib.  "Like, normally our options for lunch are really limited, but like we can go a lot of places during multicultural week."

Simply put, the poorly-organized multicultural week is no longer the tradition it was...now, people only care about it for the food and extra time.  In a way it's sad, but at the same time, it can help to strengthen friendships to last the test of time.
