Reading textbooks until you couldn't keep your eyes open anymore. Reworking your thesis over and over again. A Milwaukee business is offering recent graduates a way to say good riddance to all of these things — with axes. At AXE MKE, 2020 and 2021 grads can use their textbooks, schoolwork or thesis papers as targets for ax throwing on May 23 and 30. "We wanted to give them a way to relieve stress and frustrations related to graduating in the middle of a pandemic," said Madeline Redell, social marketing manager for Bars and Recreation, which operates AXE MKE. "We thought it was the perfect combination of both celebrating and releasing stress for them."
