four year promise

A "four year promise" is a promise that institution makes for the duration of a client's stay; once the client has left the institution, the promise is no longer heeded.

The phrase originates in the relationships between college administrators and students, which often relies on the student body's short attention span (4 years, or often less) to on-going, systemic issues. This strategy can be used by colleges to make nominal concessions in one policy 'battle,' while patiently waiting for institutional longevity & momentum to win the policy 'war,' often as a result of the passing interest of the student body.

While a "four year promise" refers to an administration's actions, a "four year memory" may refer to the student body's (non) action.

"I thought the school promised to fund that program for the next 20 years. What happened?!"
"Oh, come on - that was just a four year promise!"

New Year's hangover

The credit card bill after Christmas buzz. You often go into a rant and be a bitch, not for all people.

When Polly got her credit card bill from December, she had a New Year's hangover for 3 months trying to pay off the bill.

new year's day

Drunk & hungover, at daylite you realise you stayed up too late Your toungue tastes like rats walked on it. Even if you have a job, you've got 1 day to get some rest before your next holiday off - Memorial Day. Your friends text/ring your cell but it clangs like last nights pots & pans. You absolutely do not want runny eggs for breakfast with this stranger you slept with, whose name you can't remember, who snuggles up to your sticky body. You wince at all the promises of love forever you made just to have sex. Here's your resolution - you resolve to slip out of bed as quietly as you can so you can get out the door and puke. You'll stop drinking/drugging one day, but that day's not today, is it?

New Year's Day, hangover, alcoholism, resolution, guilt
