<p>On hot girls at Uchicago-</p>
<p>I’m a first year guy. I think I’m good looking… nothing really special, but like not bad at all. I def get a good bit of girl attention at school, but that’s probably more a function of personality than physical appearance - though I do shower daily, pay attention to my appearance, and shy away from ugly-ass beards. </p>
<p>I’m also taking hardc0re math, so don’t be biased against math people! Seriously. Like I probably study less and party more but I also probably have a higher GPA and know more pi than you and can out-literarily allude you too. This is just how it is at Uchicago, you have “average just plain brilliant people.”
OK so I have a minor ego, but I keep it under control. I’m only saying this stuff for the purpose of making a point.</p>
<p>Anyway, enough about me. There are definitely some pretty girls at UChicago, and if you are one of the few confident people who knows how to talk to girls, they will love you. I’d even go as far to say as that there are many attractive people on campus - but you won’t be walking around with your jaw hanging to the ground, as you would at, say, U Arizona or any other place populated with primarily pretty people. </p>
<p>(alliteration! yay!) </p>
<p>But the best thing about UChicago is that pretty much everyone is smart, and if you’re a smart guy, it’s soo easy to charm smart girls. Unlike home- Lemme give you a recent example. I’m into going to see shows and stuff (I’m on spring break right now - very few people have breaks that coincide with me so I’m typing this to kill time til my friends get off work at 3 and we can go do, ah, experiments with botany …later this week I’m going to visit friends at state schools, will be sweet…) lemme repeat - I’m into going to see shows and stuff, and the other night my friend and I were at this indie club and met up with these three girls after, two of which were attractive and the other of which was the token ugly friend/designated driver, they all went to a POS local college. The two girls were hot though. Hot. Anyway, you don’t have very many hot girls at UChicago, cuz I think hot is more a function of attitude, clothing and subtle physical things than say, bone structure, but anyway… we were talking to them and this girl was like, my stepdad is black and he’s from Morocco. So I, being all smooth and well-read and clever and UChicago, decide to drop a subtle ‘Haha. Othello.’ She bursts out laughing.</p>
<p>Haha, awesome. Score one for nerdy references, rite?</p>
<p>But it turns out she was laughing because she thought I was speaking ebonics or something, and meant “a fellow” except I pronounced it with a bad accent. She was like hahahahahaah yeah he’s a dude, he’s a fellow. Seriously, do you really want to waste time with these sorts of people? They can be fun for a bit but honestly I’m glad to not have to deal with or date them anymore.</p>
<p>A few last words of wisdom:
- many people here are obsessed with the word ‘awkward’…avoid them
- it takes a lot of being proactive to have a good social life here. find cool people like you, find cool parties, find cool things to do. once you put in a little effort you have a lot of gains.
- i feel stupid making bullet-point (asterisk-point) lists with just two items so this is just filler.</p>
<p>finally, if any of you have questions about social life or even academics, or just want someone awesome to take you partying when you come propsie, send me a PM. i’ll make sure you have a good time.</p>
