Oh, its Lindsey… what was it? McNulty? No, Lindsey McConnell, Sarah’s friend. Sarah introduced me to her, like, three times last year. We all ate lunch together once, she’s chill. Crap, what’s the protocol here?
This always happens to me: I’m trekking across our beautiful campus, and a familiar figure appears in the distance. I immediately recognize her: it’s the friend of a friend I briefly met a handful of times, the random hook-up, the kid I sat next to in drawing class two semesters ago, the Facebook friend I’ve never actually talked to, the Marche worker who scoops my fruit salad every day… the list goes on. Though familiar with the person, I’m conflicted: does this situation warrant a hello?
