undergrads

I was walking on campus the other day, and I passed a couple of blonde, tights-and-dress-like-shirts clad girls walking in the opposite direction, holding their notebooks over their heads to protect them from the rain. Now, I’m pretty sure hair doesn’t become irreparably damaged by rain, and I’m also fairly certain that paper does. In fact, I believe it is common practice in this culture to douse one’s head with water periodically for cleansing purposes. It seems like common sense would dictate that one would not cover the thing that is impervious to water with the thing that can be damaged by water. But then again I don’t wear makeup to school and spend a lot of time on my hair every morning. Only six days a week.
