Life Hack! Struggling Pfoho Sophomore Asks Professor to Change Grade from 'F' to 'Pf'

We’ve all been there! You’re a 50-word discussion post away from passing Greek Heroes, but all you want to do is shoot the shit in the Pfoho d-hall. Fear not! We spoke with a crafty sophomore who found the perfect solution.

“I had previously used the ‘Pf’ solely for pithy Instagram captions, but when my CS 50 scores started rolling in, I knew I’d have to think outside the box,” reported Pfiona Pflynn, as she sipped a Piña Colada and sprawled out in a recliner.

Initially, Pfiona feared she might have to take a semester off, but thanks to the new policy, she hasn’t taken a graded course in years.

“It was, really and truly—and I do not use this word lightly—genius,” Pfoho’s house dean explained in an interview with Crimson News that we plagiarized. “And I have not called something genius since our last Pfrittata Pfriday.”

Now, most students in Pfoho opt for a four-course pass-pfail schedule. For those applying to post-grad programs, the change may allow their application to stand out. “I’m applying to med school, and I love Pfoho,” Pflynn explained. “And I think my transcript reflects that.” At that, she cracked open a raspberry White Claw, and students tossing a beach ball through the d-hall cheered in the background. Everyone was happy.
