“No he’s cool.” “It’s alright, she’s with me.” Dang, it feels so good to have someone vouch for you! In my first year of college I showed up at a costume party hosted by Benny – one of my water polo teammates. He was an upperclassman and it was the first time I’d ventured socially onto “North Campus” where the Juniors and Seniors lived. An hour earlier, I was in my dorm room and couldn’t come up with a costume idea so I decided to use the materials I had at hand. Over the course of 2 months I’d polished off a lot of gatorade after practices and games. For some reason, I’d saved all the empty plastic bottles. I duct taped 3 dozen or so 32oz gatorade bottles all over myself to become “the human thirst quencher” and went rattling off awkwardly to the costume party. I eventually found the right room and cautiously stepped inside. Immediately, a guy and a girl I’d never met before screamed, “Hah!!” “Who the hell is this kid?” Other people looked over at me and I started regretting the gatorade bottles when, just at that moment, Bennie poked his head around a corner and said, “No he’s cool. Come on in!” And just like that, I was welcome. When has someone vouched for you?
