When I was applying to colleges during my senior year of high school, one institution I considered was Oberlin, in Ohio; it had a terrific college and an even better conservatory. I planned a visit there during the winter. In South Carolina, the weather is warm and mild almost year round, but even then I knew enough not to expect this to be true in other parts of the country. As I packed, therefore, I thought, It’ll be cold in Ohio in January. I’ll take a sweater.
So I spent three days in Ohio in January with a cotton sweater.
The admissions office had housed me with a hockey player named Topher, who graciously loaned me a down jacket so I wouldn’t die of frostbite but whose conversation was hopelessly tedious.
I could have stuck out the bitter cold and the unscintillating conversation, but he also had an unattractive ass.
I went elsewhere for college.
Come now–you could have ended up with a freshman roommate with an awesome ass. (Okay, perhaps not.)
A friend who went to Oberlin once told me that everyone there is bisexual, bipolar, and really good in bed.
Having known a handful of other Oberlin grads, this seems quite likely to be true.
But you’re a bottom (?).
But if he’d had an amazing dick, surely that would have balanced things out, yes?
It wasn’t Topher Scott, was it?
I once dated a bisexual from Oberlin who was not so much bipolar, but just really needed a swift kick in the ass.
He was also terrible in bed.
Ha! My Oberlin visit was in August, but my Dad made sure to describe for me in immense detail how thoroughly my spoiled North Carolina ass would hate Ohio winters. Nonetheless, I loved the place, the atmosphere, the conservatory, and probably the only reason I didn’t go there was lack of a whopping scholarship. Then again, the result was I ended up at NC School of the Arts, which probably has the highest percentage of queer students per capita this side of F.I.T., so things worked out pretty good. đŸ˜‰
PS – Hockey players are almost always totally HUNG.
Oh God, you’re a grammar freak, aren’t you? “pretty WELL,” okay? “things worked out pretty WELL.”
What is it about bottoms being attracted to ass?
Oberlin has a hockey team? Why? Or, more to the point… why would a hockey player go to Oberlin?
I went to Oberlin. I’ll always remember it as the place ugly people go to take their clothes off.
The Midwest does not fuck around with its cold. The Midwest is totally serious about it.
I am trying to pick a college. Now I know how to.
Those temperate Boston winters must have been much more accomodating?
