After numerous mountain lion sightings on campus this semester, perhaps you have had some difficulty grappling with the university’s advice to “fight back” in the unlikely event of a mountain lion attack. Surely the option to curl up into the fetal position is a viable one if confronted by a surly and wild feline, but there are nobler deaths to be had than death by a mountain lion while assuming the fetal position.
Whether you are anticipating another mountain lion sighting or readying yourself for combat and training yourself to fight Rocky-style, let the playlist curated especially for your (very unlikely) mountain lion showdown give you strength and guide your smooth hand and foot fighting maneuvers. Of course, no playlist, particularly a mountain lion one bracing you for a brawl, would be complete without Rachel Platten’s seminal hit “Fight Song.” Perhaps your (very unlikely) brawl will turn into a very serendipitous moonlight serenade, indie hits included.
