I am 21 years old. As such I find my self in the phase of life known as "finding my place in the world." While I am a university student, the bulk of what I have been learning comes from simple everyday experiences unrelated to my lectures. The more I experience life the more I realize that virtually every situation you face relates to either an episode of The Simpsons or Seinfeld.
For example,
I was sitting in my biochemistry class, and this guy came and sat beside me. I didn't pay much attention, I was just twiddling my thumbs waiting for class to start. I was looking around the classroom, not paying particular attention to anything. I turned to my right and that guy's face was right in my face.
"Hi, I'm [name omitted]", he practically shouted.
You know what I'm talking about, the episode of Seinfeld known as "The Close-Talker". This guy was right in my face, what made it even more awkward was that he was the professor for the second half of the class and he was so close I can see the pores in his skin. I obviously reacted by moving back, but he moved closer and kept talking. Aaah!

Speaking of boys who make me awkward, there is this guy here that I have met twice. He seems realy nice, but he needs to work on his hand shake. I don't think anyone has told him that there is a point where you need to release. Once you have introduced yourself, let go. Do not continue to hold on while carrying on a conversation.

In chemistry this morning some dude sat beside me, we introduced ourselves and just made small talk until class started. Not the most exciting class, so I was slouched back in my chair with my arms crossed. Then this dude reaches over and pulls my sleeve up a little to see what time my watch said. Uh, excuse me? Physical contact in general is not okay with me. But when a girls arms are crossed the wrist are very close to an area that a boys hand should not come near, making this extremely inappropriate in my opinion. I was not happy.

Then there is this guy in my mirobiology lab. Our first lab was on friday. He must be really shy because he hardly said anything. It's really hard to discuss the results with someone who doesn't talk. Today was my first inorganic chemistry lab. We had been told that there was an odd number in the lab so someone would have to work alone. I was hoping to get that position. It's not that I want to be anti-social, but it is quicker for me to work on my own. It saves me the time and trouble of having to prove or explain that I am right. Well when I got to the lab I found that the same guy from my microbiology lab had signed me up to be his lab partner for chemistry. Grrr!
