MIT really likes numbers. Apparently, they like numbers so much that they came up with a numerical system to label majors. Each major has a designated number. For example: instead of being a biology major, one would be in Course 7. On a day to day basis, when students meet each other, conversations would look a little like this:
Student 1: Hi, what's your major?
Student 2: Fifteen. You?
Student 1: Twenty-four...
Student 2: Oh... Humanities, eh? *chuckles*
I was chatting with a friend at MIT the other day...
Me: Do you guys ever confuse numbers in daily life with your majors? Like, when you hear a number, do you automatically think of different Courses?
Benji: I don't think so... I mean, when someone says, "I want to eat one apple," I don't automatically think that he wants a civil engineering apple...
On different note, a group of us were chilling after Small Group this past Friday:
Benji: Dan, you went to Yale, right?
Dan: Yes.
Me: Hey Dan, when you went to Yale...... were you pale?
Dan: No... but I was a male... can't you tale??
