Mature student struggles to have "the real university experience"
Over two months into her first university semester, 42-year-old U0 Arts student Julia Tindal has found herself struggling to find companions that will allow her to experiment in the ways that undergraduate students traditionally do.
“I’m really enjoying all my classes a lot, but that’s not the only reason I decided to come to McGill,” said a winking Tindal. “There’s no better time in your life than university to get a little adventurous, if you know what I mean. That being said, people seem to be a little shy about letting loose around me.”
Tindal’s troubles began during Orientation Week where, despite her best efforts, she was unable to “get weird” as much as she would’ve liked to.
“Sure, I was drunk the entire time and that was pretty far out,” began Tindal. “But at the end of the day, it’s not a party without a little pot in the system. Who’s got the doobies!?”
Since then, her goals have remained elusive. She was unable to secure a spot on any of the Hype Week teams and remains at the bottom of every Carnival waiting list. One first-year student is able to recall a particularly awkward encounter with Tindal.
“I obviously noticed Julia in Bible and Western Culture and recognized who she was, but I had never actually interacted with her until she sat down one day in class next to me and my friend,” explained U0 Arts student Simone Tissenbaum. “Right before the lecture was about to start, she whispered to us, ‘Are you guys into doing molly?’ It was literally the sketchiest thing that’s ever happened to me.”
While her early experiences have been discouraging, Tindal has continued to stay positive.
“Sure it’s been a little rough so far,” she said. “But I feel like my first threesome could be just around the corner!”
