Thumbs up to bye weeks. School is stressful enough without us having to worry about the football team blowing a game they should be winning.

Thumbs up to the new ASI executives, President Graham Wahlberg and Executive Vice President Beatriz Campuzano. The Collegian wishes them, and the executive who wasn̢۪t forced into resignation, the best of luck with the rest of the school year.

Thumbs down to having a little more than two weeks of campaigning left before the election on Nov. 4, which you should all vote in because students tend to suck at voting in elections and you don̢۪t want to be part of that statistic. We just want to vote already. And we want you to, too.

Thumbs up Mark Wahlberg, the unsung hero of last Saturday’s episode of “Saturday Night Live.â€Â Sure, the whole Tina Fey and Sarah Palin was entertaining, but Wahlberg’s cameo — and also his performance in the 1997 classic “Boogie Nightsâ€Â — was way more satisfying. Frankly, we wish he really had punched Andy Samberg in the nose.

Thumbs up to Starbucks employees who make your drinks wrong and then give you both drinks. What can we say? We̢۪re students. We don̢۪t have much money. And to tell you the truth, yeah, everything DOES taste better when it̢۪s free. Even if you didn̢۪t order it that way.

“The One-Finger Saluteâ€Â is culled each week from discussions in The Collegian newsroom.
