Awkward: My 7 Best Friends All Floated Together in One Group

All my cool upperclassmen friends, aka my super awesome PAF Jim, have been asking me how the blocking “sitch” has been going. I tell Jim not to stress. After several strong showings at Annenberg and a nightly study of all the names and faces in the Harvard Register, I have managed to curate the perfect eight-person friend group.

Luckily for us, blocking groups are eight people – but we decided not to buy into that crap. We figured that the way for us to maximize our transformative experiences is to not block together and also stop eating together and using the group chats that I am a part of.

By some crazy coincidence, though, my seven best friends all floated together in one group. What are the odds! Everytime I tell this story to a TF during office hours, they get a really concerned look on their face. I explain that the blocking situation is clearly not personal. I mean, sure, there’s another spot in that blocking group, but is that really enough room for me and all the other future friends I have yet to make? I think not. This Housing Day, I can’t wait to see where all my floater friends end up together.
