HE'S A WORTHY MALE PRIESTHOOD HOLDER!!!!

Freshmen girls on campus aren't hard to spot--they all walk around with a little bit of a bounce in their step and an excited look in their eye as they spot out all the worthy male priesthood holders who fulfill the check marks on the lists they made in Young Women's. They're all REALLY excited to be here, and none of them ever dated in High School, so they don't know why they're having all these guy issues all of a sudden!

Welcome to the conversations in my life right now. I live with a bunch of girls (about 40) who are, for the most part, all getting their first taste of what's it's like to break the hearts of helpless little freshmen guys who will be heading out on missions at the end of the semesters, and in so doing, breaking the hearts of these girls, who will then get over it, get dating again, and then break the missionary's heart all over again. These missionaries will then come back vowing not to date freshmen girls who will then have to date the freshmen boys instead, and the whole thing just keeps going--vicious cycle eh?

It's two weeks into the semester, but the hormones are already racing through these girl's veins. There are a few who have cuddled with multiple young men, held hands with several, and have proclaimed themselves "hand skanks." Thankfully, none of them are lip-locking with anyone yet.

Anyway, one girl on the floor came and decided to read me the conversation she'd had online with this guy she likes. They eat breakfast together, and she thinks he's "a nerd, but he's cute" because he takes Calc at 7:00 am. Anyway, they're talking online, and she keeps bringing the conversation back to herself and everything she likes to do--basically she's doing 95% of the talking, and he's "uhhhh"-ing the rest of the time. At one point she's talking about guys who look at her and smile all the time. One of the other girls reading this conversation says, "what are you doing?!?" She responds with, "Well, I have to make him jealous!"

Actually, that's not a necessary aspect of a healthy relationship...oh well.

Brilliant. I'm so glad that my experience with freshmen girls is limited to work.
 
Wow, sounds like you've got some winners this year, dearest. I very much look forward to your giggling frenchman stories in the coming months! Tell the jealousy girl that the best way to make him jealous is to put a picture of her kissing another guy as her display picture. Works every time...
 
Hand Skanks? Good Iluvatar, will the madness never cease?
