No, Seriously

OK.

I'm really really REALLY sorry that on this first glorious day of Blog9's relaunch I have to have a bitch fit about something, but this is something that's irked me for awhile.

I love how friendly (most) people at Vassar are. I really do. But when I'm FIFTEEN feet (I do not exaggerate) behind you, and you hold the door open for me, that's kind of ridiculous. It's already happened to me several times this semester.

And then I feel all awkward because I'm not exactly sure what you want out of me - my "thank you" just doesn't seem like enough appreciation for such a gesture. Like, do you want to be friends? Besties? Do you need someone to talk to? Because me catching up to you means I'm probably going to have to follow you for a substantial part of my journey to where I'm going. Better yet, do you want a cookie?

That would be nice. Fuck, I'd hold the door open for you if you were thirty feet away if it meant I got a free Nilda's every time I did it.

Mmmmmm Nilda's....

ew that was a ridiculous rant. i've never heard of someone complaining because people were actually being friendly on this campus. appreciate it. let's get real, most people on this campus are jerks who don't hold doors for you when you're directly behind them!
