Some of these quotes are absolutely ridiculous but made me laugh. Only at Rider:
1. "The youths buy distressed dungarees for the same price I buy my intact Levis!"
My economics professor is a wild one and hates when people wear jeans with holes in them. This outburst occurred when a girl walked in with acid washed jeans with holes from the ankle to the hip. I don't think I'll see them in our economics class again.
2. "My boys... that house... it was dirty."
Two words: Frat boys. Overheard in none other than the library. Though this quote may seem a bit disturbing to some, I couldn't help but laugh. I needed something funny to hear while focusing on my quantitative methods which is anything but humorous.
3. "Maybe if we eat a salad then we can have ice cream later and it will balance out."
Ah, the myth of a "balanced diet." I myself was headed towards the ice cream when I overheard two girls nearly drooling at the frozen treat, but contemplating staying healthy. We all struggle a bit, I feel you strangers.
4. "I don't know y'all and I'm drunk as hell, but you wanna hear some deep s***?"
My boyfriend and I were sitting around the campus fire pit when a girl came stumbling out of a building and asked me to help her light a cigar in the fire pit. I helped her out, and was then asked for some advice because her friends weren't of any help. Sometimes it's nice to confide in strangers because they have unbiased opinions, and who doesn't like a little deep dished drama?
5. "You want to go out tonight or are you gonna play Fortnite again?"
I wanted to tap this girl and tell her she just said the funniest and yet most relatable thing ever. My boyfriend has a bit of an addiction to the game and sometimes it comes between our plans. But low-key I have an addiction too, so, I can't say too much.
6. "Wednesday is a girl's night, sorry."
After witnessing a couple fighting on the phone for ten minutes but being too interested and snoopy to leave, I basically felt like I was part of the conversation. I'm guessing he was trying to get her to go out with him to talk but she was very stubborn on the fact that Wednesday was indeed, a girl's night.
7. "If you don't get this dub, I'm gonna throw up."
This is another reference to none other than Fortnite. A couple guys in my friend group get really intense, and this is what one said to the other last night over a face time call when they were top ten. Spoiler alert...they lost. However, I'm not sure if the friend on the line kept his lunch in or not.
8. "This burger sucks, but I'll still eat it because you bought it for me."

If this isn't love, I don't know what is. Heard this while wishing someone bought me a burger, but I'm glad it wasn't that one!
9. "I think the water levels went down because the fish probably got thirsty man."
I'm pretty sure the stranger near the lake said this ironically, but I can't be sure. I was on the phone with my mom when I heard this and laughed so hard.
10. "Even though you got the right answer, it's still wrong because you didn't do it my way."
Bragging alert, I got all the questions correct on my first Quantitative Methods quiz. However, when I was handed back the paper there were markings all over my work, and I received a lot lower than a 100%. I asked the professor why he marked them as wrong, and he told me what is stated above. I left and treated myself to a candy bar from the vending machine in order to keep my calm. After I cooled down, I thought of how stupid his statement was, laughed it off, and added it to my list of quotes.
