When I was a Freshman at SUNY Albany, there were many things I enjoyed, and other things that bored me. One thing in particular that I didn’t like was monthly dorm meetings. They seemed so pointless. So, one night a few of us including my friend Robin snuck out.
As we were walking, Robin asked, “Do you think it’s going to rain?” and with that she walked directly into one of the many white stone pillars on campus. She crumbled to the ground howling and clutched her painful nose.
“Are you ok?” I asked her.
“Now, I definitely need a nose job.” she answered in a thick Long Island accent. I didn’t laugh then, but thinking about today, it always strikes me as funny.
Life Lesson 42: People say that we sometimes see the forest but not the trees. I would tell them to see the forest as well as the trees, and don’t forget to watch out for other things too like pillars especially when walking or talking on your phone.
