There was a post that I promised to do a real long time ago. It more or less pertains to the south asian population on our campus.

But before that, just the other day I head on the news station that Michigan’s top three research institutions (U of M, MSU, and Wayne State) all had an enrollment increase this fall despite the recession Michigan is going through.  We saw an increase of 2.5%. And apparently tuition at Wayne State remains the lowest of Michigan’s 15 public universities.

Kinda cool, right?

Ok now back to topic.

So as some of you know, Wayne State has a REALLY diverse student population. Like super diverse. At least coming from suburbia it was a bit of a culture shock for me. But its diversity is one of the reasons why I tell so many kids to go to Wayne.

Well today I’m going to talk a little about Wayne State and my interaction with some of its south asian population (I think I already mentioned that..but anywhosie)

By the way, if you don’t know what a South Asian is, go check out a map.

So one day I’m walking over to my nutrition research lab,  while smelling like onions. Like an incredibly  STRONG, sickly smell of fresh cut onions.  So of course I’m going to be keeping a five foot distance from everyone. The reason why I smell like that is besides the fact for now. You’re curious? Too bad.

And of course while I’m trying to avoid people I keep running into Muslim girls that I know. And for an undiscovered reason Muslim girls like to hug each other EVERY TIME we run into each other. YES EVERY TIME.

No, No. No hugging for me.

So I stop awkwardly a good five feet away, smile and do this weird shuffle around them while they are staring at me and wondering what’s wrong. I probably scared all the girls that day into thinking that they are the ones that smelled.

And that’s when I heard it. That familiar crack of a bat hitting a ball and the guys yelling.

It was…….
