MEDICAL EXAMINER CONFIRMS UNIVERSE'S INDIFFERENCE VIA TRAGEDY AT A&M
Another reminder that existence is a cruel joke with no punchline. At least the paperwork is done.

Death is nature's way of telling you to shut up and sit down. Or, in the case of Brianna Aguilera, a 19-year-old Texas A&M student, it's a brutal reminder that the universe doesn't care about your GPA, your dreams, or whether you had too much to drink. The Travis County Medical Examiner's Office has officially ruled her death a suicide, confirming what detectives suspected since November. The report also noted Aguilera's blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit, and Delta-8 was detected in her urine. So, yeah, Tuesday.

The universe remains stubbornly indifferent to human suffering.

Bureaucracy marches on, even in the face of tragedy.

Another reminder that 'wellness' is just a marketing scam.
Because closure, even when it's as bleak as this, is still closure. Tonight, maybe take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of it all, and then go get a damn taco. You've earned it.
