Area Freshman Washes Laundry In Three Groups: Colors, Whites, Purple

Confirming leaked CCTV footage from Sargent Residence Hall, area freshman Samantha Wu, WCAS ’21, stated earlier today that she washes her clothes in three batches: colors, whites, and purple.

ā€œYeah, my mom was just super adamant that I separate my colors from my whites or they’ll bleed onto each other,ā€ Wu told the Flipside. ā€œI’m not exactly certain how clothes bleed, or even how you’d patch them up; but I guess that’s a question for a seamstress,ā€

However, things quickly escalated upon her arrival to Northwestern. First she received her two mandatory purple shirts: her Class of 2021 shirt, and then her WCAS shirt. But this was only the beginning of her now massive collection. Soon enough, the shirts seemingly were budding.

ā€œI looked in my T-shirts drawer and I found a ā€˜Proud NU Mom’ shirt, a ā€˜Norris Employee’ shirt, and a free basketball tee from a game that’s scheduled for next month.ā€

Although the move seems practical, Wu has her concerns. ā€œSometimes while doing the wash, I’ll look in the machine and see the purples swirl; and I swear the shirts are taunting me, mocking my puny existence.ā€

At press time, Wu told Flipside that her whites and colors have started disappearing and now she washes those together, while doing the purples separately.

ā€œPurple…..so much purple. PURPLE,ā€ says Wu.
