Ok, that’s just surreal. Although this is my first post, I’m a longtime lurker of message boards of all types/reader of the Straight Dope. So I’m scanning the boards and I figure I’ll look at what someone else who’s apparently my age is thinking about college. Turns out that you not only go to the same college as I do, but you’re one floor below me and from the same state. I’m in Bonnycastle 118, so feel free to come up and say hi. I’ve probably already met you, but that doesn’t really help when all I have to go by is an alias.

Welcome to the boards! I missed you guys by just a year, but I’ll probably be down at some point. Maybe we can do lunch.

Wait until next year and the “Holy crap, I’m back!” feeling comes. Its’ a lot more awkward than “Holy crap, I’m in college,” but much, much briefer.

Uhmmmmm…wow. That’s just, well…that’s just pretty darn weird. I’m definitely gonna have to come up and visit.
