Taylor

That we are nerds and do nothing but study.

Incredibly intellectually motivated, being nerds, being extremely involved and occasionally too busy (but having that be their own fault).

It's hard.

Most of them are socially inept. I find that in many situations people do not know how to express their emotions casually or comfortably. Swarthmore students tend to let loose at parties and then become just as tight and uncomfortable as always the minute the alcohol passes out of their systems.

Corey

Nerdy, weird, intelligent, passionate.

Andrew

Nerdy and weird
