Fall 2001-- sound track by Res!
Fall 2K1. I'd imagine that most people would think that in a discussion of fall 2001, I'd probably talk about 9/11 (or as asswipes call it, "nine-one-one.") Hey world, can we all agree to NOT do that, please? It gives me dumb chills. While we're making agreements of this nature, who about we also agree to stop using the word "hubby," mmmkay? It might possibly be the LAMEST word of all time. Possibly.
Anyway, back to fall 2001.
On the subway this morning I listened to "They Say Vision" by Res on repeat. You've probably never heard of that song because it was popular for about 3 hours during the fall of 2001. That was my senior year in college I listened to that song on a LOOP for a few weeks there. Hearing it this morning totally took me back to those days. Back when my most pressing conundrums were:
-Over Halloween weekend, should I party at Hamilton and dress up as a Miss USA contestant along with the rest of my sorority pledge class, or drive to Bucknell to party with my best friend?
-There are quite a few hot guys in my Intro to African American Lit class. If I go straight to class from the gym, will they think it's hot that I workout obsessively and wear spandex shorts, or gross that I came straight from the gym?
-If I time it just right, could I end up waiting in the Stir Fry line with the DU brother I like? Should I initiate conversation about stir fry, or his participation in a phenomenon known as the "5 O'clock Fat Train"?
-Do I have enough energy to walk across campus to the library, or should I drive and put the parking ticket from last week on my windshield, so that I don't get another ticket? (Note: This doesn't work. Many times in college I got a fresh parking ticket on top of an old one that I was using as a decoy.)
-Why can't I stop thinking about the new panini maker in Commons? Is having grilled cheese w/ tomatoes for 2 out of my 3 meals a day considered an addiction?
-Is giving your digits to a hot townie a faux pas? Keep in mind though, this isn't just any old townie, it's a HOT townie. (Answer: Yeah, sort of. 
-If my friend L and I streak the quad and run directly into the path of an oncoming campus security vehicle, will we be able to make a clean getaway and laugh at our zany antics along with said campus security guys? (Anwer: Mos def.)
This cracked me up! That Fall was definitely a wack time in my life. Why was our mutual friend "L" so obsessed with streaking senior year? The CNY must have finally gotten to her
