Some of us looped back, feeling guilty because we thought that the people who didn’t make it out in time would be in trouble. One of my friends yelled: “It’s the police! RUN!” causing everyone to stampede towards the emergency exit. It was past midnight, and we were starting a new round when a Public Safety officer walked in with a flashlight. #3: My friends and I decided to play sardines in Winter Hall one night, first semester freshman year. Thankfully, I’m now fully aware that Westmont is riddled with half-steps and abnormally shaped hills, strategically placed to bring about the demise of unsuspecting pedestrians.
As I picked myself up from the ground, I looked over and realized I had wiped out in front of a large-windowed classroom: I had become a klutzy spectacle for the entirety of a 20-person class. I didn’t even try to pick up my foot, and my phone and coffee went flying as I fell flat on my face. #2: One afternoon on my way to lunch, I completely missed the small half-steps that appear sporadically along the walkway on the side of Voskuyl Library. Seeing the knowing smirks on their faces, we realized that they had heard everything.and that’s when we learned that none of the study rooms are soundproof. As we left the library, every single person turned to watch us leave.
An hour and a half later, when we were deep in the trenches of Australian comedy routines, we decided to head to bed. #1: During a study break in the big conference room upstairs in Voskuyl Library, one of my study buddies introduced the group to a YouTube video called the “Pink Windmill Kids.” It’s as weird as it sounds, but we laughed, screamed, and re-enacted our hearts out. I’ve chosen four of these moments that stick out from my freshman year to share, and I hope you can laugh with me-and maybe learn some handy tips about Westmont. Within my limited 18 years of life experience, I’ve noticed that the moments you remember most vividly are the ones that most embarrass you.
