Waka Blocka Flame: Class of 2018 Blocking Group Names

By Bryan Li

As of today, freshmen officially know where they'll be living for the next three years (or where they'll be trying to transfer out of). Blocking groups have been formed, inevitable blocking drama has been avoided (or resulted in last minute chaos), and housing forms have been submitted– complete with the infamous blocking group names.

Below, Flyby presents an analysis of the Class of 2018, based solely on the names they have decided on for their blocking groups. If you’ve ever wondered exactly what types of people make up the freshman class, look no further:

The Academics
Contrary to popular belief, the Class of 2018 seems to have its fair share of nerds. After all, who doesn’t love a good science pun?

1. 4-maldehyde
2. Kelvin and the Absolute Zeros
3. e=mc^4

The Punny
These references are on point though:

1. I Knew You Were Trouble When You Blocked In
2. Block Dirty To Me

The Aspiring Rappers
Class of 2018 soon to drop the most fire mixtape of the century. Featured artists and titles include:

1. Waka Blocka Flame
2. A5AP MOB
3. Started From The ‘But, Now We’re Here
4. If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late

The Unoriginals
Coming up with a name for your blocking group can definitely be a stressful process. However, I’m guessing these guys either left this until the last minute, or realized how little blocking names actually matter.

1. Joe’s Group
2. Zach’s Group
3. Jed’s Group
4. The Group of People that Don’t Hate Each Other

The Uncategorizable
Some groups really brought their creative A game, but didn’t quite fall into any of the above categories. We thought they still deserved some recognition.

1. John Harvard’s Other Foot
2. Testosteronies
3. PleaseNotSlytheryn
4. Blak, Blak. Who’s there? A supermassive Blak Hole

Good work, freshmen. We’ll see if the Class of 2019 can live up to the standards you’ve set.
