Red Letter Daze: Overheard at Cornell

Reading time: about 1 minutes

Cost of Sleep Girl: I fall asleep every day. I don’t know why I even go to class. Boy: Because we’re paying, like, a hundred bucks an hour… Girl: Yah, so I guess they’re really expensive naps. — Central Campus

MRS. Degree via ABC Girl 1: I’m so excited — the season finale of The Bachelor is on Monday. Girl 2: I like The Bachelor ... but I wish I could be on The Bachelorette ... imagine just having 25 gorgeous guys to choose from. Girl 1: Yeah, but most of them would probably be stupid. Ew. Girl 2: Well, I’d tell the producers that I only wanted wealthy, Ivy-league-educated guys ... as long as they weren’t losers from Harvard or Princeton. Girl 1: True. I’d even take a stupid guy over one from either of those places … pretentious nerds. — RPCC

Hogwarts University Drunk Freshman Boy: If we were in Harry Potter I would hold your hand and we’d apparate somewhere, and then I’d leave you there and apparate somewhere else because I’d be a fifth year and I could do shit like that.

— Donlon Circle
