Some Highlights
You Know You Go To Barnard If (highlights, applicable to me or others i know):
# You spend more money on cigarettes than on books
# You masturbate more often than anything
# You give up your search for the perfect man in exchange for ANY man
# You had a better sex life in 8th grade
# You feel left out if you don't have an eating disorder (or you HAVE a boyfriend)
# You actually consider going to the West End
# You have to whisper to say "republican"
# The only guys you see wear Yamahas and can't touch girls<--THIS IS SO TRUE
# You feel dumb if you're only fluent in two languages
# Even Spanish 101 has a feminist slant
# You know more people named "Sonal" than "Jen"
# Your entire floor is on the same menstrual cycle
# You go out for coffee with a girl from your class and wonder whether it's a date or not
# You dress up to go to the library (and it works :-P)
# You met your boyfriend on the internet and he lives across the street
# Deciding which shoes to wear to the coed dining hall becomes a monumental affair
# The only men you speak to are related to you
# You can't decide which is more important, your college ID or your fake ID
# You run into friends at the library on a Friday night
# The last movies you saw were Say Anything and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
# You've never read the Bulletin
# The sole basis of your friendship with Columbia students is that they're male (or know people who are male)
# The girls across the street give you dirty looks ('cause they know you're prettier)
# Your furthest class is less than a block away
# Sitting on Lowe steps becomes an event
# Everyone assumes you were rejected from Columbia
As Im reading these things, there is a faint male voice outside and my roommate perks up "there is a guy in the hall!!!" And she moves to get up and look out the door, but then we both start laughing at how sad but true these things are. The guy desperation is a lil exaggerated, at least for me, cuz i only have to be sexually frustrated for 3 or so weeks a month. But yeah..
back to THE paper..
