As any student knows, tailgates are for fun, freedom, and poor decisions but what happens when you see your professor... Here's what I thought when I ran into one of my professors at a campus tailgate.
1. Please Don't Recognize Me
Please don't look at me. Please don't talk to me. Please act like this didn't happen.
2. Oh Crap
When you make eye contact and they start walking over to you.
3. OMG Now I Have To Talk To Him/Her
Insert awkward conversation here.
4. What Do I Say?!!!
How do I make myself sound calm, cool and collected? Do they know what I've been doing all day? Do I smell bad?
5. Why Are Words So Hard.......
Trying to talk to you should not be this hard. Why is making a conversation so hard? How do I English??
6. Sound Proper, Sound Proper, Sound Proper
I don't care that I am in a crop top and have been making poor decisions since 9 am, in this very moment I am classy. I can be proper. My looks don't define me.
