Overheard Writing Center

 We all know the atmosphere of the writing center lends itself to some wacky and bizarre conversations. Talking to friends about a salad you had for lunch can devolve into a conversation about the deep seated fears that arise from watching too many Veggie Tales episodes as a child so now the idea of eating a tomato invokes a weird response that I can only compare to stabbing a voodoo doll of your friend because in your formative years you formed an parasocial emotional attachment to Bob the Tomato. Also other, slightly more normal conversations that just catch people a little off guard, like the board question that asked what inanimate object people would want to be. Beyond the board, the writing center itself is packed to the brim with personality. 

From the walls of weird drawings everywhere:
