So, this past weekend I decided to trek (by car) to the depths of Dirty Durham in order to attend Duke University’s Homecoming. Why did I go, you ask? Mainly because I didn’t have to plan out my weekend at the last minute… and some of my favorite kiddies had decided to fly across the country or drive from the true dirty south to take part in some good old fashioned college debauchery.

However… even if I thought that people would have grown up, sadly, many had reverted back to their old alter ego upon arriving at campus. That’s nice, but I wasn’t going to humor people. And if that makes me a bitch/jerk or something along those lines, that’s fine. Don’t be mad. If you weren’t so terrible I’d probably make an effort to talk to you anyway.

Furthermore, it became apparent to me that you don’t even need to know someone exists in order for them to hate on you. In fact, this makes me feel rather good about myself, because I never knew I was so awesome that people would still talk about me after I left a place years ago. So thank you, subpar females, for making me feel special.

Will I attend next year? Maybe, but only because I won’t feel like planning out my weekend…and really, four hours isn’t so far to drive. Also, I really like Cosmic Cantina. Even if the cheese at Dillo is now watery and they run out of liquor (what?). Who knows, maybe our football team will actually win their game. Can you play a high school team for a college homecoming?
