‘Well this is just plain weird,’ thought a puzzled Hunter Birks (18), as he subtly slipped his newly purchased UQ Law crewneck sweater over what he had assumed would be everyone else’s number one choice of apparel for the day.

***********

When Hunter ‘Birko’ Birks, a starry eyed ex-GPS first-year, arrived at Market Day he was greeted by a cohort of Cromwell freshers slutdropping to Justin Timberlake’s ‘SexyBack’. Naturally, Birko assumed that this would be the strangest thing that he would see that day.

But Birko stood corrected.

The hustle and bustle of youth politicians and various religious sects trying to sell him membership cards could not distract the young lad from an unmistakable reality - that he was the only person on campus representing the light dark green and red.

‘I don’t get it, it’s like they’ve all forgotten their roots,’ an earnestly puzzled Hunter divulged to us as he attempted to win two free rounds of Strike Bowling and a one-week trial at Snap Fitness.

But noticing grimaces and light shakes of the head from other students, Hunter felt like he was left with no choice but to assimilate. He B-lined straight for the L card stand, pushing past a UQ BARS exec before he could even ask if he liked rumbos, and purchasing, in a flash, as much law merch as he could get his hands on.

'Phew, now I can fit it,’ exhaled a relieved Birko.

Ah yeahhh, good luck with that one H. Enjoy Birdees mate.
