The College ASL

When you meet someone new in college, you usually see them face-to-face, so you already know their gender and for the most part you know about how old they are from how they look and from the fact that they are in college.  Since I’ve been meeting a lot of new people, I was wondering, since the typical chatroom introduction, Age/Sex/Location (ASL), is not very suited for the college atmosphere, there must be an alternative that college students could use to get the important information out of a new person with a short acronym.  The acronym I came up with was “Y/M/D.” Now, granted that looks like a foreign date format, with year, month, and day, but that is not what it stands for.  Instead the Y is for year (well maybe it is a date format), the M is for Major, and the D is for dorm.

Year

When you meet someone new on campus you are always wondering what year of college are they in.  Are they a new freshmen? Or maybe they’re just lost because they’re a transfer student who’s really a Junior.  Knowing the year (Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Graduate) of a person is very helpful in knowing how long you will know them (not long if they graduate in that semester), how much you can inform them about the campus or college life, and if they are datable….jk lol Knowing the year of a college student is definitely important.

Major

Definitely one of the first things you find out when you meet someone on campus is what they are majoring in.  This can tell you a great many things such if they have the same interests as you, how sociable they by the stereotypical party Business major or the studyholic engineer, and definitely what they want to do with their life.  Of course, if you’re like me with no idea what to do with my life, knowing my major might not help with that.

Dorm

If you plan on becoming good friends with this person and spending a lot of time with them, you must find out where they live.  You will not want to be in the smelly dorm, but of course you will want to be in the dorm with all the attractive girls (or guys if girls are reading this).  Also, knowing if the dorm is the farthest from campus or not is a good idea.  Many things can be affected by where the dorm is, especially if you need to go there at 7am to get the homework you left there the night before for your 8am class.

So next time you are in a Campus Forum, be prepared with your YMD ;)

    The very root of your writing whilst sounding agreeable originally, did not settle very well with me after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you actually were able to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in logic and you would do well to fill in those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I would undoubtedly be fascinated.

Almost all know all relating to the compelling ways you convey valuable information via the web site and as well as strongly encourage response from other people on that article and our own princess is without a doubt becoming educated a great deal. Have fun with the remaining portion of the new year. You’re performing a remarkable job.

    Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

    I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours nowadays, yet I never discovered any interesting article like yours. It’s beautiful price sufficient for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web might be a lot more helpful than ever before.
