A “hills-and-stick-shift-are-like-peanut-butter-and-pickles” pat to the girl whose truck stalled at the light on Port Republic Road and South Main Street.
From a fellow stick-shifter who knows how embarrassing it is to stall, but thinks you pulled it off in style.

A “see-if-we-wish-you-well-on-your-birthday” dart to my RA who didn’t make my roommate a “Happy Birthday” sign even though one was given to everyone else on my floor who had a birthday.
From an upset freshman who thinks you let your feelings get in the way of doing your job.

An “I’m-glad-I-was-a-part-of-your-experience” pat to the girl who before Wednesday had never had a bagel in Einstein Bros. Bagels.
From a bagel-loving sophomore who hopes you enjoyed your bagel as much as she did.

A “try-to-pretend-you’re-adults” dart to my peers who are constantly sarcastic and snotty to our professor.
From a senior girl with the maturity to realize that making fun of a teacher stopped being funny after middle school and expects more out of students.

An “I’ll-make-you-a-roast-beef-sandwich-any-day” pat to the boy at D-Hall who gave me the most beautiful smile when he realized we got the exact same fixings on our sandwich.
From a senior girl who hopes to have another roast beef rendezvous with you soon.

A “20-minutes-50-seconds,-21-minutes-43-seconds,-22-minutes-30-seconds” dart to the fraternity who held a walkathon at Festival Saturday morning.
From a Chesapeake Hall resident who didn’t care to hear you scream the finish time of every participant through a microphone while she was trying to sleep.

A “pinch-me-if-you’re-real” pat to my boyfriend, who is waiting on me hand and foot during my bout with this current JMU flu virus.
From a starry-eyed sophomore who is dazed by your gracious attentiveness and all of the get-well drugs you have her on.
