Really? Because that's lame...

I was updating our Facebook page this morning and came across a "group" that I found extremely comical. The group entitled, "I'd rather be in Ann Arbor" which currently has 21 pro-active members is based around EMU students who wish they could be in Ann Arbor.

I couldn't help but look into the group with further detail when I read their description:
"This group is for everyone who thinks that A2 is way more fun than Eastern."

Not sure really where to start with this, but I'm a little worried for these Eagles, because it seems they don't know the difference between and institution and a city. Ann Arbor should be compared to Ypsilanti, and UofM should be compared to EMU, right?

I guess the funny thing I can't get over is the fact that Ann Arbor is a short 10 minute drive down Washtenaw...so if you'd rather be there, jump in your car and go. Ann Arbor isn't some mythical land in a time far, far away full of unicorns and wizards. I mean, it's down the street. (and I take it back, you probably can find unicorns and wizards if you looked hard enough)
I'm sure these are the same people that live here in Ypsi, but tell people they live in Ann Arbor because it sounds cooler. So listen, if you wanted to go to UofM that bad, you should have. If you really really want to be in Ann Arbor because it's more fun, than gooooooo!

The rest of us will be trying not to step in the pieces of broken glass covered by snow while avoiding the onset of people asking for 58 cents for a bus ticket...

If you really want to have a good time in Ypsi/Eastern, make it a good time. Please stop dwelling on the fact that your NorthFace doesn't fit in here. (Because it does) and try crossing "The Moat" that is Cross St. I'm sure you'll be amazed at what you'll find...
