Adventures with Emily and Liz: Breaking Gender Barriers

It's Hallo-Fucking-Ween, and after Halloweekend, our life is in shambles.  Like really though. Sig Pi is singlehandedly ruining our GPA.  In order to get our shit together today we decided to make a much needed trip to the Rec to make up for our past transgressions. We didn't plan on doing anything too serious, no beasting to be done here. Just a mile or so around the track and then our usual rowing workout. It is Whiny Monday after all.

So we walk, we talk and we gaze jealously at the Asians on the floor below us playing badminton. By the way, badminton(or what we like to call BADASSminton) is the most fucking awesome sport of all time, and someday we really wish to engage. If those Asians can have such a great time doing so, we're sure as hell that we can to.  All we need is the fucking equipment. We weren't smart, we didn't bring all that was needed to play this kickass game to college with us, and now its the biggest regret of our lives. Other than not thinking through that hangovers=not studying for Poli Sci.

ANYWAY, as we pondered the Asians below us, we also saw a band of them playing basketball and soon came to realize that we could do the same. We could rent out a basketball and be total fucking badass ballers. It wouldn't be embarrassing at all! So, we march our asses downstairs get a basketball and make our way to the courts, only to realize that there might not be one open for us. Fuck that shit though. We found one with these two dudes, who will from here on out be referred to as BraceFace and Farmhouse.  BraceFace and Farmhouse  were diligently waiting for a regular men's sized basketball and a court when we showed up, and they proceeded to shoot around with us until 6:15.  Yeah we made asses of ourselves, and yeah we admitted yet again that we were highly un-athletic in high school, bust most importantly, we broke some fucking gender barriers.  its safe to say that there were no other girls who dared step foot on that court, and we were dumb enough to do so. We made some new friends AND Johnston Hall would be fucking proud of the fact that we reped for all the girls who are pansies and who refuse to intermingle with the wannabe ballers at the gym.

BraceFace and Farmhouse led us two conclusions: We need to fucking take use of our Student Activities Fees  and we need to become TOTAL FUCKING BADASS BALLERS. We are going to get to the Rec, learn how to play basketball and continue probably making asses of ourselves.

It's been real Farmhouse and BraceFace. Thanks for being okay dudes and not total fucking frat douche faces (see earlier posts). Hope to see you around the court.

Love, Bifecta. Huzzaah!
