Last night I went to my friend Ali's dorm and did some serious female bonding. It was all part of my lady a capella group's mandatory bonding session. It was really nice to spend some time with them, and it was also so nice to get off campus for a while. Also, the Smith dorms are huge. Ali lives in a single that could legitimately fit two Hampshire singles. Dorms, not people. Although if we're talking people, we managed to fit four Hampshire single (ladies) in Ali's dorm. The Smith dorms are also pretty classy with their wood floors and window panes. Overall, it was an excellent location for us to drink raspberry Svedka with lemonade, eat olive pizza and mozzarella sticks, and get happy enough to talk about men, our tits, and our menstrual cycles. So I pretty much morphed into a Smith student for a few hours.
I actually looked at Barnard College in New York, and almost applied early decision. The idea of going to a women's college was pretty alluring at times. Being part of some sisterhood of smart, successful women seemed like a pretty good deal. But I ultimately decided to forgo it in favor of avoiding an estrogen overload. Last night though, felt like what I wanted women's college to be like. Just a few nice ladies sitting in a dorm, listening to Swedish pop music and finding a whole lot of common ground.
Peace, Love, and Semicolons,
Lisa
