This is going to be a ridiculous post – so if you don’t like me already – this post isn’t going to make you like me – so don’t read it – or at least – don’t take me too seriously.
So, I can honestly say that I don’t care about the SBA elections. I really don’t even care enough to write this post. But one of my good looking guy friends made a special request – so I’ll oblige.
I’m not even a member of SBA. Due to my immense popularity I have been able to slide through the cracks this year by not paying dues and reaping the benefits of being an SBA member. Seriously – there are perks to being me.
Actually – when it comes down to it – I’m not a member of anything. That isn’t to say that I don’t participate. I’m an avid participant. The only SBA event I missed this year was the golf tournament. But I volunteered last year. I just don’t like joining groups.
It is a slippery slope. If I join SBA – I will want to join the environmental law association because I’m a tree hugger – then I will need to join WLSA – cause I’m a girl – then I’ll feel the need to be in PAD (which provides great tailgating in my opinion). $100 later – I’ll have a bunch of meeting I feel obligated to attend.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I lack decision making skills. I can barely decide who to vote for in real life American elections. Mostly because – when it comes down to it – I feel like it is the lesser of two evils. Don’t worry – I vote. Of course I vote. I vote every time I have the chance in real elections.
I refuse to strongly support a political candidate that I don’t personally know.
I don’t want to get that dramatic about SBA elections. I don’t think the SBA has the opportunity to be evil. Don’t get me wrong – I’m glad someone wants to plan the Bull Roast – which is my favorite SBA event. I think the SBA should also support a bowling league. That is something I could really get behind.
But I don’t want to do it. And I don’t want to be hassled about getting to decide who does it.
Oh – but I love the listserv wars.
So my ideal candidate would:
1. Reinstate the listserv.
2. Create a bowling league.
3. Come up with a rule that goes something like this – In a discussion or disagreement – as soon as you start whining – you automatically lose.
Not that any of this matters – since I won’t be here next year. But I do think I have a right to vote. Since I have vested interest in this institution and I want to make sure the idiots to come don’t undue all the DRASTICALLY IMPORTANT changes that the idiots before me have made. (just kidding kids – you know I don’t think you are idiots. Y’all have way better gpas than me – I’m just using poetic license).
I love the SBA.
the thin line between optimism and delusion...
