    There's a tradition on a university's campus I toured on where if you stepped on this circle on the center of the courtyard you had to touch the statue of the founder in a minute otherwise you wouldn't graduate. So we're touring and my tour guide steps on it, swears, and sprints to the statue. Apparently this isn't uncommon.

    Funny, we had something similar. If you stepped on the concrete seal on the pathway in the center of campus, you were bound to have a bad day and chances were good you'd probably fail something. I did that once or twice and usually I'm not superstitious, but I sure didn't do that crap again.

    We have several like that where I go now. If you look the statue of the founder in the eyes then you'll fail a class. If you read the plaque on the tiger statue by the basketball stadium you also fail a class. And if you enter the Calhoun House (founder's house) before you graduate you won't graduate.

    Wow, geez, your campus is booby-trapped all over the place!

    Wouldn't it be nice if there was something that actually helped you do well for once? Well, besides studying and keeping up with assignments, of course.

    Yeah completely.

    Well there's is a place that's called lovers lane that if you walk hand in hand with the person you're dating then supposedly you'll have a happy marriage, though not necessarily to each other.

    Well hey, at least your campus has that going for it!

    I don't think my campus had anything like that. If it did, I never knew about it, though I imagine the people that live on campus are more aware of these crazy cursed things. But the walkway seal was a BIG one and it was strangely true and even got published about in the school newspaper. My younger brother went to the same college, made the same mistake of stepping on it, and confirmed it.

    They really should just build a fence around it. XD

    I'm not even gonna question how that "m" and spacing got in my message xD. I've already beat you and Xanthe to a few. Xanthe had the perfect chance to say "gotta catch em' all" recently, but I beat her to it xD

    The time is upon us...
