This entire post is dedicated to the one week out of the year that anti-social beings fit in.
In fact...we not only fit in, we thrive, we become normal!
DEAD WEEK
Here's what I mean. Dead week is the week before finals in college where every student realizes that for the past few months there have been regularly scheduled classes that they are going to have to prove that they went to by answering a couple hundred questions. Books that have been used to prop open doors are finally opened, and sparknotes makes bank. This week is literally everyone's last chance to smash knowledge into their brain.
But for us Anti-Social people this week means so much more.
For one week out of the year...we blend in. Our usual habits of hiding in our rooms and avoiding eye contact is now adopted by every single student. The campus is no longer a social hub, everyone is busy trying to grasp concepts from Answers.com and Facebook creeping their cousin's ex girlfriend in order to avoid actually studying. No one is seen as shy, just busy.
It is beautiful.
BUT DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON GROUP PROJECTS!
There is a special ring of hell for group projects.
Anyways, if you are a social butterfly take a moment this week to realize how wonderful it is to never shower, or talk to anyone, or leave your room. Welcome to our culture. We would hug you....but.....no. Happy dead week.
Here's my coupon for this week. It's for those study dates that you never do. Give this to that cute boy who sits three rows in front of you in lecture and has those really pointy ears.
Goodbye losers. I'm going to read about some Greek god who turned some guy into a bird.
