YOU KNOW YOU GO TO SMITH WHEN…
You own 3 different lipcare products, and they are all by Burt’s Bees.
- Ellen: I don't understand how you're afraid of penises when you've seen them in real life... in your vagina.
- Wynne: That's different and totally besides the point, they're scary!
- Toto: How is it different? They've been INSIDE of you!
- Ellen: Remember that time you met me on quidchat and were like "OMG YOU GO TO UMASS?!?! COME VISIT ME!"?
- Winter: Yeah, and then you did and now you're here and we've slept at each other's houses 4 out of the past 5 nights?
- Ellen: Yeah.
Accidentally silly moments at Tyler Dining:
I pulled an all-nighter and went to Tyler for some early morning noms. I ate some cereal, put my dish away and then decided that I should get coffee.
I sat down at what I presumed was my original table and then this girl sat across from me. The table I was sitting at was the only one occupied in all of the dining hall. There are, what, 50 tables or so?. I was thinking “what on earth…why would you choose the ONE table already occupied???”
and then I realized that in my out-of-it ness I had sat down at her table which was different than my original one, and she was probably thinking the exact same thing about me.
My bio for the IQA website:
After first becoming involved with the IQA the Summer of 2011, Winter has impressed the whole of the IQA with her maturity and originality of curse words. A geosciences major with a minor in archaeology, she will graduate with a degree in digging shit up from Smith College. After Smith, she hopes to find a profession where she can combine her loves of quidditch and digging shit up. As you can imagine, these jobs are rather hard to come by. It has been suggested that an internet gossip blogger would do the trick, but nothing is set in stone quite yet. In her spare time, Winter enjoys making horrible puns, scuba diving, drawing unnecessarily detailed diagrams for her math homework, and looking at rocks under a petrographic microscope. She can often be found losing every pair of her socks, trying not to cuss very loudly in family-friendly restaurants (She’s been repeatedly informed that something called an “inside voice” exists, but doesn’t quite believe it).
With a rather public love for movies such as She’s the Man, and How to Train Your Dragon, Winter has been an outspoken voice commending such critical dramas since 1992, when she was born. At the tender age of 19, this makes her the youngest member of the IQA Management Team by three years. Lastly, she would like to thank her family and her friends at the Academy for making this award possible: I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.
I JUST DID THE DRAKE EQUATION FOR HOT MEN
My calculations yielded:
In the area around me that is within a bus ride away there are
412(ish) men I would be interested in.
This means that .875% of people in the area are datable.
This means that in every 1,000 people I come across, only 9 of them will be datable (or, if you want to be precise, 8 hot men, and 1 hot man missing some limbs)
And this isn’t even including mutual interests or anything like that.
