So today, they updated the UCLA Orientation staff website, uploading individual pictures of the staff as well as a panoramic staff picture.

Here's the panoramic group photo:

So there I am in the back, looking all cool with my blue jacket and red shirt. Alright. I'm diggin it.

Now here's the link to the individual staff pictures:

SO...

If you know me at all, you know that I'm the type of person that is always seemingly happy and smiling too much if anything. In fact, I was once kicked out of my physics class for smiling and laughing too much. Fortunately I dominated the quiz that we had, but yeah.

The point is, some people in the world, such as the lone wolf and I, (actually I'm not sure about lone wolf), but some people such as myself prefer to give people more individual attention and affection to people as opposed to just treating everyone the same in a superficial manner. It's true, that's a false dichotomy, just because you're really extroverted doesn't mean that you don't have good friends, and the opposites are true as well, but that's not the point.

The point is, if you get to know a lone wolf, you'll realize the lone wolf isn't so lonesome to be around. And if you become the friend of a lone wolf, you'll have a good friend for life.

But everyone's always afraid of the big bad wolf.
