No hate. I did just fine. Married a Geneseo girl in fact. Yeah, actually knowing people there definitely helped with the blending. I had plenty of friends from other schools come visit too. I'm talking more about the cars full of dudes coming down from various schools (coughRITcough) who stuck out like sore thumbs and generally couldn't handle themselves around women and made it very obvious they were there to [beavis & Butthead voice] huh-huh pick up chicks huh-huh.
Yes, it was a horrible, senseless tragedy. And yes, horrible, senseless tragedies happen every day. But for those of us who went to school there, it's been a particularly heart-wrenching experience. It's cliche, but those types of things don't happen in towns like that. Just a massive f*cking bummer.
