college observations


Student center:
  • guy who looks like that werewolf guy from Twilight  is talking very loudly about base-jumping
  • guy in a green sweater talking very loudly about hydronization
  • hundreds of pamphlets on the table next to me about joining the Navy
  • 0 pamphlets about grad school 
  • another green sweater guy is trying to read all the stickers on my laptop without looking like he's staring at me
  • total number of guys in green sweaters: 6 
  • total numbers of people in here: 14
  • sign for bible study club, featuring a rainbow Jesus Fish
    • are they actually welcoming people who identify as LGBTQ, or did they just want bright colors on their sign? I'd like to find out. 
Library:
  • the shelves are quite empty (not because people are checking them out, because this library needs more money)
  • I'm being a rebel and drinking my water
  • more people need to iron their shirts
  • it's faster to take the stairs than the elevator and it seems people haven't figured that out
  • the outlets are all upside down and it bothers me
  • why put noisy coin machines in a library? There must be a better (and more quiet) way to get people to pay for printing
  • every time I walk by encyclopedias, I think "encyclopaedia" (thank you, Ted Mosby)
Philosophy lecture hall:
  • number of people who walked in 10+ minutes late with Starbucks in hand: 4
  • video watched: CNN's "Weed"
  • after we watched it, about 80% of the class said they favor medicinal marijuana
  • about 40% said they favor recreational marijuana
  • 1 person said they want all drugs to be legal
  • 3 girls who opposed recreational and expressed their reasoning were blonde, wearing head-to-toe Hollister, and all walked in late with Starbucks in hand
    • they were the only ones who explained their opinion 
  • eventually, the whole class broke out in (loud) "this one time when I smoked" stories 
  • professor didn't take attendance 
    • I could have stayed in bed
