So I’m Cassidy, I’m from Washington state, and I love
college!! I also love pineapples, and the show Psych, and even though there are
a bunch of pineapples on Psych, my love of them actually originated from the
Upside Down Show, which randomly incorporated the King of all fruits (hence the
crown) way before Psych did. Yeah, I
haven’t posted much yet, but it’s just cause I’m super busy. But I witness
awkward happenings all the time, I really do (there are almost too many to
post). One in particular comes at me daily. And it revolves around the simple
act of opening a door. First of all, I’d like to pay a tribute to all of the
guys here at BYU who will take the time to open a door for the ladies. It’s great,
it’s classy, it’s respectful and it significantly speeds up the time we get to
class by about 3 seconds. Some girls may put up their noses at this gallant
gesture, arguing that they are perfectly capable of opening a door.
Congratulations...now let the guys (who know that you have arms too) open doors
for you. Anywaysss, whenever I’m entering or exiting a building and there is a
gallant guy (g-guy) just ahead or behind me he will open the door for me and if
there is no g-guy, I open the door myself (gasp…just kidding). New Scenario: I’m
exiting a building and there are two doors side by side with each other. I open
one at the same time that a guy entering the building opens the other one. I am
in the process of beginning to step through my door when he holds open his door
and gestures for me to walk through it. Uh….You know this is awkward if you’ve
had this happen to you. The whole thing happens in a time frame of like 2
seconds, but you still have this internal battle with yourself on whether or
not to backtrack and go through his door (he has this very expectant look on
his face) or to smile and continue on through your own. I’ve done both, and I’m
still not sure which is the best way. I guess there really is no non-awkward
way out of an awkward situation. =) (And then there’s also that moment when he
thinks you’re still going to go through your door but you haven’t told him
that, so you both start to go through the same door…good times.)
Kay, next awkward moment. So one of the first weeks of
school me and the roomies went to this dance. It was a Friday night, and we
were ready for a night out on the town, (or a night out at BYU). We were
dancing up a storm when these three pretty good looking guys came up and
started chatting/dancing with us. It was all really well and good until they
asked, “So where do you guys live?” I’m pretty sure we all inwardly groaned
because we had to answer, “Uh, we live in Heritage Halls.” And then of course
they all got funny looks on their faces and said, “Oh, so you’re freshman?” Yeah…two
of them almost immediately left and the other one was much more reserved for
the remainder of the time he spent with us. Aw, the joys of being a freshman =)
