black coffee doesn't mold
His aunt had told him once that coffee didn't mold. "So long as it's BLACK coffee", she'd say with an emphasis on black. He never looked this up but it seemed believable. Not that he believed it, but he could imagine someone else listening to his aunt and being convinced.

sacred TV ritual
as reply to Gasp
Back in high school he had a friend who he had such a sacred tv as well. They wouldn't keep it on ESPN though. They would have movies or something on. The content didn't matter so much so long as the TV itself was on and there was noise coming...

walking as slowly as possible

Lunch was quick. There was no point sitting there when it was so packed and loud. Especially with a stranger in front of you, face down in their phone, the two of them playing the game of bouncing eyeballs: the goal not to ever make eye contact for more than...

A bunch of classes would let out at around 11:10. Then the line would suddenly be unbearably long. From students leaving class and also those coming in and rushing to the 11:30 classes. Twenty minutes where he would never ever go to thatΒ

real day about to begin
as reply to Understand Everything
He thought but didn't say aloud in front of Jack, how funny it would be if Jack and his twin switched places. They were biologically identical twins after all. He'd seen Indian and Chinese students taking tests for each other all the time. Surely identical twins could get away with...

He had never seen one of those supposedly premed girls walking around here in the center of campus between his lab and philosophy classes. He was looking for them. But Jack coming along and sitting down with him was good too.

a college experience
as reply to Feel Different
There was a gap between lab and philosophy. Long enough that he couldn't go straight to waiting for philosophy idly waiting in the hall. But short enough that he didn't have time to run to the caf for a bite. So he would leave the lab and read out in...
