Purim 5759 |
![]() By Stan Watson So you see, its like this way. I wasn't really so frum in high school, I mean didn't do anything bad like a lot of my friends did. I pretended to learn, I really did and my grades weren't so hot, but I got into YU and Queens. But I didn't try marijuana like a lot of my friends did, and I was actually shomer. All my friends who weren't are good yeshiva bochurim now. So when I came back from Israel, I only wore dark cotton Dockers, nice striped shirts and a new velvet yarmulka. I am strictly in Rav Schachter's shiur and I am majoring in Accounting. I mean I wanted to be a doctor, but well you know. I am really enjoying it here, and I am even going to be counselor this summer at camp HASC. So what's the problem? I'm so lonely. All my friends are dating, know girls, getting engaged. I don't know anybody. (I went to talk about it with Dean Shmidman, and all he told me was "Blah blah blah Bochur, blah blah, good Shabbos." I was even more confused.) I thought I would meet my bashert at one of the Orientation events, but my friend who was in my yeshiva last year told me that the really frum people don't go. So I didn't, instead I watched an old movie in the Morg lounge with some annoying Israeli guy. Then after the Succos break, I brought a new shirt during no-tax week, so I can wear it to the Chanukah concert. I was really hoping to score, but all the girls I met in the hallway while Shloime Dachs was singing "Acheinu" had boyfriends. At the Seforim Sale, I planned to make my big move on this really cute chick I have this major crush on. I pretended to be a volunteer with one of those funky shirts for days, until she showed up - but she wasn't alone. And you should have seen the guy she was with! I was going to follow the rules in the yellow shidduch book, but forget it. Life really stinks in YU. How come all the bums have cute gals? All content is copyright © Yeshiva University Commentator.
