Grief swept across campus earlier this morning after news of a death at the University of Florida reached students, staff and faculty.
The Gator community mourned over the loss of Mar Elisa, who was bored to death by her TA in her Good Life discussion class.
According to her friends, Mar was outgoing, bright, and adored by all,”
UF President Kent Fuchs said in a press conference. “We will carry her memory with us for the rest of our lives.”
Elisa resentfully attended her discussion class and quickly found herself overcome with boredom. She quickly took to Twitter, but the teaching assistant in charge of her section, whose name the university has yet to release, promptly told her to put away her cell phone.
I could see she didn’t look well and she kept talking about a light,”
classmate Alex Green said. “I told her not to go towards it, but it must have been too overwhelming.”
The TA was in the middle of explaining why “savoring a moment is much more fulfilling in life” when Green alerted the undisclosed TA to Elisa’s condition. That one guy who always wears a lifeguard shirt to class assumed control and ran to Elisa’s side, poking her face repeatedly and pronouncing her dead.
Fuchs began to promise that precautions would be taken in the future, but hesitated.
It’s the Good Life, there’s not much I can do.”
Students have recently taken action in Mar’s honor. After ostracizing one student who said that he “didn’t find the TA boring at all, I thought she was really helpful,” a band of students are now picketing outside every single Good Life discussion class to give desperate students something to cling to.
“We’ll be playing music and doing live comedy sketches,” one student explained.
We wish we could’ve been there for Mar, instead we’ll just have to be #ThereForToMar-row.”
