After the Olympics, we at CollegeOTR, were fearful of anticlimax. Then, against the odds, we were presented with the most momentous of occasions: the delivery of an espresso machine to the office.

Michael Szewczyk, Director of Operations and caffeine superstar, could barely contain his glee. As he tore open the box and threw Styrofoam packaging puffs about the office as triumphantly as a kid crossing the finish line at the Special Olympics, he knew CollegeOTR was about to get Gucci Gucci.

What is Gucci Gucci, you ask?

Yes, we all ask that.

Regardless of the definition, or Michael’s propensity for forming slang by doubling luxury brands, we all knew that CollegeOTR would never again be the same. There would be coffee bean throwing challenges, espresso chugging contests, and inevitably, a surge in excessive energy.

It was an end of an era and the dawn of a new age. It was the day the espresso machine came.
