I should expect costumes, this is college!

Since I go to a small, liberal arts school whose students think they're "different" and "out there," I was surprised that when I came here, I didn't see too many "different" kids. Sure, there's a group of kids who wear black clothing and there are some kids who think they're deeply troubled but artistically brilliant... but we had those in high school, too. And, as in high school, the punked out kids, the gay kids, and the artsy kids all have their own lunch tables. Y'know, like in Mean Girls.

I guess I shouldn't be talking. I'm one of those "normal" kids who seem to be taking over the school. (When I say normal, I mean that I look normal. Most of the time. I think I compensate for this by acting extremely abnormally.)

However, it is a testament to the somewhat strangeness (at least the professed strangeness) of the kids who go here that when I saw kids walking around campus with bright wigs, painted faces, and strange, clashing clothing, I thought to myself "Well, I shouldn't be surprised, after all, this place is different from most" instead of "It's Halloween."

Good job, self.
