At the Co-Rec

I first visited the Co-Rec back during BGR (Boiler Gold Rush) week , the week before school started. While I was there, there was a huge party and such where the building was full of new freshmen like myself, both guys and girls. My second visit to the Co-Rec though, was very different. Walking around, it seemed to me as if most of the females that were so excited about it during BGR week, juts vanished. For the most part, the Co-Rec was full of guys, and they were everywhere. Cardio, swimming, and of course, lifting weights. Anywhere I went in that building, there was a majority of guys, if not all guys. The few places I saw girls were on the running track, swimming, and on some of the cardio machines. Also, I never saw a girl lifting weights during all my time wandering the Co-Rec, it was all guys. All the girls that I did manage to find were also with at least one friend, I saw no lone girls wandering about like me. Feeling a little intimidated after a while, I decided to leave. I want to go back there, because a lot of the activities look like a lot of fun, but I don't want to go alone, I don't want to be the lone girl again. A lot of girls may feel the same, that's why they don't go, they have no one to go with.
