First off, I have made many wonderful fantastic friends. The Honors College at Millersville is like a big family, it's really awesome. My entire hallway gets along great and every night there's usually a big group of people stuffed into one room and we just sit and chill, play card games, or watch a movie. I'm especially close with Paul (who's in the hallway across from mine) and Brittany. On the third day I knew Brittany, I proposed to her. She had drawn Batman on her whiteboard on her dorm door, and I instantly realized I needed her in my life. And I know Paul from marching band, he plays tenor sax and he is one of the chillest dudes I've ever met. Incredibly laid back and just fun to be around all the time. The three of us do a bunch of stuff together...eat, play foxtail out on the quad (big grassy area by the dorms), have dorm fort sleepovers...oh yes, you read that correctly. :) DORM FORT SLEEPOVER!
One night, we discovered that Brittany's shoes have weird holes in the sides of them, and so we decided to stick plastic forks and spoons into them...that's the logical thing to do, right? And then she walked to midnight breakfast (which is a huge buffet they serve at midnight on Saturdays in one of the dining halls, DELICIOUS) with them still in her shoes. It was slow going...but HYSTERICAL. So many people asked her what she was doing, and she'd say, "It's a social experiment"...and then they walked away from us, haha.
Then once we got our food, she actually used the plastic silverware that had been in her shoes to eat her breakfast. She turned herself into Wolverine by sticking them between her fingers:
Oh yes. She is indeed awesome.
The three of us also play this fun game of Volleyball Tennis. We lay in the hallway on our backs, and pass a volleyball between the three of us, and whenever the person with the ball throws it, they make a "tennis" noise...aka sex noise. Within MINUTES, people are out of their rooms staring at us and asking what we're doing...it's quite funny. Paul has the best "tennis" noises...it's a little disturbing, actually.
The Honors College family has also kind of made up its own slang and way of speaking. We tend to verb EVERYTHING...so instead of saying, "Do you want to go to the Upper Deck for dinner tonight?" we say, "Let's Upper Deck-it for dinner!" And we like to use "all the" in front of everything, as in, "I'm having ALL THE fun" or "ALL THE awkwardness of the turtle!" Things like that.
I have many more stories, but I have to start getting ready for class now...well, technically I have to get all my stuff together for class, which is followed IMMEDIATELY (as in I have to run) by marching band, which goes until 6, and then jazz band starts at 7...so I really have to get my stuff together for all three.
I will leave you with some more random college pictures... :)
