If you went to an all-boys or all-girls school when you were younger, then you might have noticed that some people really just aren’t meant to be popular in that environment.  There’s the geeky guy who isn’t any good at sports, and then there’s the fat girl who doesn’t have any fashion sense.  There are all sorts of things that afflict them that make them untouchable, and not in a mafia kind of way, but in a leper kind of way.

THEN you get to college.  It’s all co-ed now.  Fellas to the left and honeys to the right.  And the unpopular people in high school, suddenly they aren’t so unpopular.  The girl the boys accept, the girls will accept too.  Same goes for the the guy the girls like.  It’s the strangest thing.  It seems like everyone has earned a forgiveness pass, and suddenly, everyone is cool.  Maybe it’s because when you’re in college, you realize how insignificant you really are, and how you have to get along with everybody.  You take all the friends you can get.

Of course, not everyone is so lucky.  Some are always the geeky guy who’s no good at sports forever.  Ah well.

I’m not talking about me,  of course.  I was popular!
