Confidential sources (his roommate) have informed Flipside that Weinberg freshman Richard Lärgen has run out of his prescription of Lexapro, a common antidepressant, and was seen mumbling to himself in the mirror “no more Mr. Nice Guy” while attempting to brush his teeth. 

Lärgen, an international student from Trollhättan, Sweden, was once known for his “bubbly and lively” personality, as described by peers. Unknown to them, this personality was supplemented by an unholy amount of prescription antidepressants, which Lärgen rectally smuggled into the United States to avoid tariffs on foreign goods. 

Confidential sources (Dang Long-Wang, Bobb Hall 220) who are friends with Lärgen have also indicated that the medication, which is critical for Lärgen to not “juke on the vibe” at the floor orgies, may have run out several weeks ago. The first indication of this was when Lärgen was seen crying while eating an entire Giordano’s deep-dish pizza by himself in his dorm’s lounge during reading week, though oddities in behavior were noted even earlier, such as when he was spotted pondering by the lakefill in the dead of night.  

Others suggest that something during Spring Break may have sent him off the deep end. Eyewitnesses to his antics in Puerto Vallarta claim this latest bout of depression was ignited when he was rejected by “fine shyt” who, as it turned out, had a boyfriend who just couldn’t be there that night. 

Flipside has reached out to Trollhättan locals for insight into Lärgen’s battles with mental health before his arrival at Northwestern. Several responded saying something in some foreign language that sounded a bit like “eegen beegen borgen vorgen”. Thus far we have been unable to translate this.
