Anonimonster | Things At Yale That Don’t Make Sense

I love Yale. I will forever be indebted to it and everybody who spends their life making it amazing.

But some things never made sense:

Why do I feel safe getting drunk in the company of strangers even though nobody here is decent at taking care of drunk people?
Why does the good fruit go in the spa water?
If this is the best time to be single because there are so many options, then why don’t I like anyone?
I like my partner. But it’s college, so I should be single, right?
Why does everyone go to Masquerade senior year and then to a naked party?
Of all the things to pay for, why do I have to pay to get mail?
If this is where people go to have “intellectual conversations” then why do people outside tolerate more crazy ideas? (Yale Bubble?)
Why are the doors to Commons so heavy?
A ton of equally qualified people didn’t get in, so a lot of people outside of Yale are just as smart of us. So there’s no point being elitist.
But we’re still way smarter than everyone, so we should tell people how to live and what’s right.
Why do we have a night club right in the middle of our campus?
If I’m “brilliant” enough to be here, then why do I feel like such an idiot? If there are so many brilliant people here, why do I feel like there are so many idiots?
People here are supposed to fix the world.
People go here because they hear that’s how you get a good job. So people who go here just want a good job.
Of all beaches, why do we keep going to Myrtle every spring?
If these were the best four years of my life, why don’t I mind leaving?
Why is Gothic architecture so cool?
Why do I keep wanting to throw reunions?

Will these questions ever be answered? Who knows! Strawberries in spa water will stay a mystery.
