A mind filled with science sits atop this person's head. The ability to rattle off foreign terms seems perplexing, but I'm used to it. I have a friend back home that's just like this person, so it's nothing new.
Still, it makes me feel like I wasted time just focusing on sports and games and movies my whole life. I could have spent my five years at college learning something useful -- not that writing isn't. It's just more of supplementary major.
This person's longer hair hugs their face, curving around the chin just right -- you can tell care went into the grooming process. A smile from ear to ear always greets this person's classmates, revealing pearly-white teeth brushed with care. Only helpful comments are spoken and their ego seems to be suppressed to the point of nonexistence. This person also identifies themselves as geeky and likes the same TV shows I do. Spending a rainy afternoon after class rattling off my favorites with them gave me a tiny bit of insight into what life is like for them.
Blue eyes pierce through thin frameslike tiny gems beneath glass. For all of this person's geeky qualities, familiarity with tech trends isn't one of them. Twitter was something I knew little about before this class and knowing this person tweeted less than I did made me feel like less of an outcast.
