If crunchy granola was a college, it would be Evergreen. So that's why.
What’s wrong with crunchy granola?
I’m just glad some one did the right thing. Because it’s the right thing.
Most that negotiate will just play the long game and expect the urgency to go away. I’m not sure that it will- but history says it should.
It wasn't a criticism, it was a description. Evergreen is basically what happens when hippies find a way to give people a good college education.
I have a friend who went there.
Edit: Wikipedia should elucidate:
That honestly seems like a pretty decent way to do college and better than my alma mater of Indiana University.
It does sound like an amazing way to do college. it also sounds like the kind of college I could actually enjoy going to.
It sure worked out for my friend. She's had a series of well-paying federal government jobs because of it.
Also, Matt Groening went there, so that's quite the endorsement.
I was called granola once because I'm pretty hippie. I wear these rope sandals everywhere (they're so damn comfortable) and I dress in the most comfortable clothes I can find.
. . . I can respect that. (though, I need more arch support than what usually is found in rope sandals...)
I mean I was a little confused on whether I should be upset or not, but then they explained it and I was like "okay"
