The University has a way of sucking me in and keeping me so occupied I forget to communicate with the outside world. This is especially true with my family, who routinely flood my phone with messages, calls and FaceTimes requests. My inbox is full of voicemails, alternating labelled “Dad” and “Mom,” with the occasional message from my sister sprinkled in. I guess they kind of miss me sometimes.

Living exclusively among young adults, our perspective within the microcosm that is the University can at times be myopic. However involved students are with extracurriculars that look beyond the scope of the University, our day-to-day actions remain hopelessly disconnected from the norms that would otherwise dictate our behavior in the “outside world.”

My immense disdain for running and my lack of any semblance of hand-eye coordination meant I was never an athlete in high school. Unlike many of my friends, my Saturday morning schedules never included the words “meet,” “game” or “match,” and not once did I call a fellow student my “teammate.”

University officials announced plans for an extravagant 271st birthday celebration for U.Va. visionary and People Magazine’s 1776 “Sexiest Man Alive,” Thomas Jefferson. The event will occur on April 13th, 2014 and will feature singing, dancing and cake, all culminating in a University-wide streaking of the Lawn at precisely 12 a.m.

In the past two weeks, I spent more than 20 hours in the confines of a car. This was especially unpleasant considering I am one of the people physically incapable of sleeping in moving vehicles. It’s probably because the stagnancy causes all of my already excessive energy to gradually collect in my body, so I’m left to experience every moment of the trip in a state of amplified consciousness.

As anyone who has spent more than 14 seconds with me can attest to, I am rather famous for my awkward encounters. In the collection of embarrassing situations I typically refer to as “my life,” my unfortunate mantra has quickly become, “That awkward moment when…” College has been the ultimate breeding ground for these moments — especially when I am first meeting people.

The “CAValanche,” as we’ve so charmingly christened it, came at a convenient time this year. Amid the 2014 Winter Olympics, I realized my ultimate dream in life: to be a double Olympic gold medalist in curling and race-walking. If you are not cultured and are thus uninformed about these critical sports, I highly encourage a quick YouTube search.

Fourth grade was my golden year. I know telling you this is to publicly declare I am totally lame, but I have to say — those were the days. I mean, my middle part / gaucho pant combo was super trendy, and I had my multiplication tables memorized like nobody’s business. One could even say I was killing it.

It’s that time of the year. Well, it just was.

Knowing it was one of our last chances to be social this semester, my friends and I decided to go out for one final hurrah last week.

A few days ago, I opened my Facebook to 47 notifications. Needless to say, I was thrilled people were finally recognizing the caliber of my Facebook profile, which includes biannual statuses about life-changing events and stunning tagged pictures of me at my best.

Last week, I received a phone call of the utmost importance.

I adopted a habit of carrying a spare sock with me everywhere. I don’t do this out of some misplaced desire to recreate that children’s story about one lonely mitten. It’s because of my new lifestyle. A new era is upon my dorm. Assassin has begun.

I love seeing people I know on my way to classes. I love that warm, fuzzy feeling I get which says that yeah, I’m cool because I have people I can wave to more obnoxiously than a clingy mother. Sometimes, I even loudly scream out their names or weirdly brush their arms so they know it’s real. I’m obviously very popular and well-adapted to social situations.

I’ve recently tried to break my terrible habit of arriving everywhere 15 minutes late — or, as I’ve grown to affectionately call it, Indian Standard Time. Even if it requires a passionate power-walk down McCormick Road, I do what it takes to make it to my lectures and discussions on time and, sometimes, I’m even early.
