Valentines, Jeans, and the Eight Doors
I guess it’s not really Valentine’s day anymore, but I had a thought. It seems to me that a lot of couples decide to celebrate Valentine’s day the next day, to avoid the restaurant crowds the day of. I think it would be funny if there were actually more people celebrating Valentine’s on a day different than the actual day.
Is it weird to anyone else that 90% of people wear the exact same color pants? Even weirder..that that color is blue! That sounds pretty weird when you just say it: “Yeah most people wear blue pants.” What!? Anyway, I guess jeans are technically “denim” colored…but I know it’s blue.
All that aside, this is my main point today: There are too many doors at college. OK, I counted, and for me to get from my room to class, I go through 8 doors. EIGHT. That, is absurd. Just to get out of my dorm, I go through 3. WHY. Well, i think it has to do with fire-spread prevention. But in my opinion, I would rather have fewer doors slowing me down as I flee the fire than 17 doors keeping me AND the fire from escaping. But this is only the case sometimes, it seems to me that some doors at college just exist for no specific purpose. Why, for instance, does there need to be a door directly after the first door in the library? (don’t give me the climate control crap…I don’t buy it) Maybe they want us to have extra practice opening doors? Or maybe they want to make sure that we know we are in fact “entering” a building so they make the process exceedingly redundant. Is it possible they ordered too many doors? Why couldn’t they just use the extra doors to build trap doors that lead to secret tunnels filled with snacks? Anyway, I look forward to the day when I go out one door and in another to get to class, not 8.
