Confessions of a Crazy Couch Potato: Rhodes: An oppertunity for losers to become "the shit"
Hey FA

I agree somewhat with your argument. I know one person, in particular, who had a hard time in high school. This completely changed when he came to Rhodes and he now has the audacity and bravado to proclaim, “I’m so popular” at two minute intervals.

This aside, you speak about the issue like it’s something that’s happening to everyone or at least the majority of students. This doesn’t hold up to your argument that Rhodes is an accepting place and you also don’t provide enough evidence that this is a trend on campus. You are making broad generalisations with a scrap of substantiation which is hardly worth pointing out.

If Rhodes is, as you say, so very accepting I doubt all “Girls who used to spend Friday nights at sleep-overs” have turned into “binge drinkers”. You don’t make it clear that you are only speaking about a small amount of girls on campus.
Although I have shown, through my example, this type of metamorphoses from ‘loser’ to arrogant social butterfly does happen I also know many more people who have not changed.

You site only one example of ‘girls’ speaking about how ‘guys’ have changed. This is still far too broad. You should have enlightened us to a specific case on which you could have elaborated in a bit more detail. That would have strengthened your argument.

But I know what you mean all the same.
