Randy Woodson gave a half hour speech announcing the recent amendment to the well known and widely impactless NC State mantra “Think and Do” to “Think and Do the Extraordinary.” The speech consisted of nothing but variations of the words “think,” “and,” and “do,” punctuated magnificently at the end with “the extraordinary.”

“Simultaneous thinking and doing is truly unprecedented.” said Woodson. “I think that our specific doing and thinking represents both the doing of thinking and the thinking of doing at the same time, which in itself is extraordinary!”

It truly was a work of modern art. In response to the speech, students have taken to social media to express their gratitude toward the administration for the much needed clarification of what it is, exactly, they are supposed to be thinking and doing. Our correspondents interviewed a few of the mindblown students in their natural environment.

“Yeah I’m like, super stoked they finally told us what they meant for us to be think and doing,” says Jake Anderson, sophomore “double” majoring in electrical and computer engineering, while hastily throwing a large sheet over the paper mache baking soda and vinegar volcano he had been working on. “I was just think and doing the mediocre, but now I think I’ll do more than just the bare minimum to graduate.”

“Everything I do is extraordinary,” says Polan Naulson, self-proclaimed visionary and senior studying business administration, “Though I’m happy I’ve got university approval for my new business hooking up drug dealers with people who want drugs, now.”

“Premeditation is key,” added Julio Chavez, senior studying political science and bakery studies, “I never would have been able to craft a 30-foot breadstick sculpture of Hillary Clinton without detailed planning, research, and necessary funds, but the motivating slogan is what really lead me through the process.”

Julio plans to release his documentary, The Making of a Thirty Foot Breadstick Sculpture of Hillary Clinton, on DVD and Blu-ray this December.

Faculty has observed across the board a newfound appreciation and adoption of the slogan now that the students have been given a direction. Students have quit the library for grander pursuits, such as practicing for a 12 hour krumping dance marathon, running 398 miles to eat 40,000 doughnuts, and becoming an actual flamingo. The change is remarkable, but as of yet administration has made little remark. Perhaps they’re still thinking about it, but whenever they do say something, we’re sure it will be extraordinary.
