Story of the Time Turner: Alleged Solution for the Overburdened Student at Holy Cross?
Holy Cross Students Ponder Time Turner Legend as New Classes Arrive
The College of the Holy Cross welcomed its incoming classes, the Class of 2028 and the Class of 2029, in separate events held in April. The Class of 2029 was welcomed on April 13th during Accepted Students Day, while the Class of 2028 was welcomed a day later.
Accepted Students Day is a special day for any accepted student to come to campus and learn more about the college. Around 500 admitted students were invited to spend a day on campus for the Class of 2028 event.
As the new students prepare for their college journey, some current students are reflecting on a legendary tale that has become a part of Holy Cross folklore - the story of Molly Landis and the time turner.
According to campus legend, Molly Landis, a student from an earlier year, discovered a time turner in the exorcism room at Holy Cross. The time turner, a device inspired by the Harry Potter series, is said to have enabled Molly to attend classes, participate in clubs, attend meetings, complete homework, socialize, and even catch some sleep.
However, her use of the time turner was eventually discovered by a professor, who warned her against using it again. The exact origin of this rumor at Holy Cross is not documented, but it is believed to stem from student folklore, pop culture references, or a joke rather than factual evidence.
Molly Landis, who currently serves as the News Editor at Holy Cross, has become a symbol of overcommitment and the potential dangers of pushing oneself too hard. Despite her busy schedule, which includes working two jobs and taking advanced classes, she continues to inspire students to strive for academic and extracurricular excellence while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
As the new academic year approaches, students at Holy Cross are encouraged to reflect on Molly's story and find ways to manage their time effectively to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy balance between academic and extracurricular activities.
George Caldwell, the current News Editor at Holy Cross, emphasizes the importance of self-care and setting priorities. "It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of college life, but it's crucial to take care of yourself and remember why you're here - to learn and grow," he said.
As the College of the Holy Cross continues to grow and evolve, the legend of Molly Landis and the time turner serves as a reminder of the challenges and opportunities that come with college life. Whether or not the time turner actually exists, the story encourages students to push themselves academically while maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
