Eight things you would rather talk about than your zodiac sign on this fucking coffee date

1. Why Hillary Clinton isn’t perfect but is better than Donald Trump, largely inspired by the Odyssey online
2. What you did(n’t do, you lazy procrastinator) over Reading Days
3. How this one Huffington Post article is “important.”
4. In strangely precise detail, a run-through of the people on your freshman hall
5. Your dog, as if the absence of my own dog isn’t what keeps me awake at night
6. How old you feel, at age 21, compared to the rest of this campus
7. That one episode of the Walking Dead that only you have seen
8. Your Everest-esque commute to Lexington that turns out to be driving distance
