The Huffington Post (obvs) College section just released the most “Socially Awkward Colleges”. Check out who made NUMBER 31 out of … 46, apparently. This list was compiled based on Inside College’s “Schools for a Socially Awkward Student” list. Personally, not gonna lie, I took this shit really seriously when I was looking at schools. I needed a place that would let my freak flag fly freely…fuck, check out that alliteration.

Also not gonna lie, I’m not exactly going to disagree with Tufts being on the list. When you go to a school where kids dress up as narwhals for Halloween and Rubix Cube themes make freshmen think they can finally get into a party based on the fact that they are in tattered, mis-matched Goodwill clothes, it’s hard to take the list as a joke. Tufts students are nerdy (not in a bad way; read: smart, interested in the world, and like to be challenged academically), but they also tend to be–to generalize the population (which I hate doing)–socially inept (read: unable to hold conversation, have chicken fights in the dining halls, sing the pokemon theme song as a group during dinner, crack Star Wars jokes, and more). That being said, who isn’t socially awkward?

Tufts is also on the following lists, according to Inside College (someone please explain to me how we are on the attendance at football games, students slow to make friends, and more conservative lists. Also, I had no idea that we played DII sports….oh wait, we don’t):
