Darts & Pats (Submit your own!)
Posted on January 22, 2007

A “what-in-the-world-did-you-eat?” dart to the girl two inches away from me at UREC who was in desperate need of some Gas-X.
From a girl who has a hard enough time controlling her breathing during a workout without your toxic fumes in the air.

An “it’s-the-little-things-that-count” pat to the girl who patiently and unexpectedly held the door for me at Godwin Hall.
From a grad student who was having a crappy day, and appreciated the small but significant act of kindness.

A “you-don’t-deserve-to-wear-purple-and-gold” dart to the guy who knocked people out of the way and threatened to grab my “you know what” as he left the bus.
From a senior girl who is disgusted that you are representing the same school as her.

A “couldn’t-you-do-that-during-the-day?” dart to the Student Ambassadors who loudly congratulated my roommate for being inducted by banging on the door at 3 a.m.
From a senior who is proud of her roommate, but knows the difference between 3 p.m. and 3 a.m. on a weekday.

An “I-don’t-need-chivalry-but-a-little-help-would-be-nice” dart to all the guys sitting down on the bus who sit and watch as I fall all over.
From a vertically challenged senior girl who can’t reach the upper rail and doesn’t like your legs taking up her standing … er … falling room.

A “thanks-for-declaring-your-priorities” dart to the Harrisonburg Police Department for spending more time and energy on drunk in public charges than on stopping the rash of burglaries and robberies.
From a junior who no longer feels safe in this little country town, and expects more from Harrisonburg’s finest.
