The Gay student is someone who…

Lives on your residence hall floor
Hangs out in the lounge
Watches Monday night sports
Has acne
Stresses over finals
Is involved with student organizations
And might even be your roommate.

The gay student is someone who…

Stays up all night
Falls asleep in class
Gets homesick as a freshman
Works on-campus
Oversleeps
Is always asleep by ten
Likes getting mail
Skips going to Sunday religious services
Because of a late Saturday Night
But always, makes it to church
Cries when they’re hurt
And laughs when they’re tickled.

The gay student is someone who…

Is a wing/floor/building rep,
A hall council member
Works in residence life
An intramural team captain
Goes to conferences
Plays for the basketball team or football team
Eats lunch with you
Orders late night Pizza
Is an engineer, geology or math major
Goes out with friends
Goes home every weekend as a freshman,
And only on holidays as a senior
Wants to be liked
Hates 8:00 a.m. classes
Borrows your notes
Types on your computer
And goes to the dollar fifty movies

Some are from the city,
While others graduated with twelve

They’re in your classes,
In your majors,
In your halls,
And most ways, very much,
Resemble you.
