I have been joking for years now that my life resembles the quality 1990’s college hit PCU. As time goes on I am starting to think that if the movie was made today I would hands down be a character. The list is starting to become uncanny:
1) I go to college at the most politically active college campus in the country (according to Princeton Review) When Karl Rove came to speak on campus he was protested, people threw stuff at his car, and students made a human barricade to stop his car from leaving.
1b) a large chunk of those students were in my major.
2) I am women’s studies major that is straight out of PCU
2b) I am all for non-gendered terms, and can rant with the best of them about the oppressive nature of the patriarchy.
4) I lived with a pack of boys who pissed everyone on campus off and would often get in fights with the dirty hippie students.
3) My history thesis on a TV show, essentially I am the Pigman of AU.
3 b) My history focus on post modern America and my women’s studies focus on gender in policy and law really show the quote “That is the beauty of college these days you can major in game boy if you know how to bullshit”
4) Between the floor I socialized on in the dorm, and the house I lived in I think it is safe to say I have lived in “the pit”
5) Campus wymonist hate one of my best friends for her racy “anti female” graphically designed images.
6) My thesis is due in 24 hours, and it is pre-frosh weekend. I was working on my thesis in the computer lab thinking ‘IF ONE OF YOU TRIPS OVER THE CORD THAT UNPLUGS THIS COMPUTER SO HELP ME GOD I WILL CHASE YOU OUT OF THIS ROOM.’
Now all I need to do is go to a campus Frisbee game and have George Clinton play a party of mine and I will be all set!
