- How were classes today? It’s simple, easy to answer, and shows genuine interest in their day.
- What’s your major? Maybe you two share common interests; let’s find some fertile ground!
- Which one of your parents went here? Maybe both!
- Where do you summer? It is essential that you make at least one friend with a boat.
- What is your favorite avant-garde Soviet silent film? Everybody has one!
- When were you last truly happy? Definitely not since they’ve arrived here.
- *Purr at them* Self-explanatory.
- What do you think hell feels like? We’ll all get there eventually.
