Everything in this is 100% accurate and I applaud you for the correct spelling of my name ✨

Thanks! I had a lot of fun writing it- and a lot of fun up at NSA. I think I spelled your name wrong somewhere else though...

It is a confusing name... but then so is mine. I've had a lot of people spell it wrong. XD

Hi, this is the guy in the scarf in the commons. That was hilarious! I read that and was like, “it’s me! I’m that guy!” Also, Bywater will indeed be continuing the game night tradition.

I’m a rising Junior. Congratulations on getting accepted to NSA, it sounds like you really wanted it.

Most guys are leaving, but Andrew and Allen are staying, so game night is staying too.

I did! Thank you!

OK that’s awesome, sounds about right—but Taylor is going so it might not be quite as loud, huh?

I resent this statement… slightly.

Heh... sorry. But not really. It's not as if it's necessarily bad... it's just kind of a fact. Also I'm sure wherever you're moving to will be very fun if you host.

Nice! I got to hang out at Bywater the couple times I was up there, I think some of the current guys are moving out but some are staying, I'm not totally sure what the set up will be next year. Which year are you? I'm an incoming freshman this fall.

So.... thank you for the feedback? You definitely put a lot of thought into the post. I'll have the spread the word around about your opinions.

Although, I don't know what to think of my reputation after that ramble 🤣

Why shouldn't he?

I never said you shouldn't.

But I definitely didn't expect Taylor to share it with you...

Ha! You're welcome . I had a lot of fun writing it... what do you mean spread the word around? Now I'm scared. XD

I quite enjoyed my time up there, a lot of this is just observations... opinions can also change with time, these are just first impressions, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure your reputation is fine.

When you told me I probably wouldn’t read the whole thing I took that as a challenge. Sure, it took me over 30 minutes but I read every word🤣.

Sounds like it was a fun trip😊!

Hi, this is Andrew... I have shown up on substack, and I cannot confirm this statement. Or the messages. Omnes dicere possum est: QUID NAM?!

Why what exactly?

Andrew Hurley's avatar

Quid nam doesn't mean why.

Ok I asked and somebody says it means more like "what the heck."

So what's your problem?

You said a couple of things that are definitely false or taken out of context. Some statements are more harmful speculation.

I think I took what you're referring to out. I'm sorry and you're right, I definitely should've given that more thought.

Let me know if I missed anything, and please forgive me for saying that. :)
