Oh, my. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day here in New England. It's a bright and sunny Saturday morning here in Raynham and I for one just can't wait to go outside. Days like that are becoming increasingly rare as the cold weather moves in, as it's prone to do in October. On days like this, I truly feel like I am blessed. Do you ever get that feeling? Everything is going alright in your life and you feel like giving thanks. Well, that's how I feel today.
My name is Jessica MacLeod and I am a student at Raynham College in the city of Raynham, Massachusetts. Who am I? The heroine of this little tale. A five-foot-nine, slender, blonde-haired and green-eyed Irishwoman. Straight from the city of Galway in Ireland. I moved to America recently. I major in Nursing and I love my campus. Especially since there are all these new men on campus. Five years before I came along, Raynham College was an all-female institution. Now, it's a coed school. Fifty percent of the student body is male, a fact which surprises the hell out of the faculty and administration but thrills the students. There have been a lot of changes on campus and I feel that it's mostly been for the better.
There is a really cute guy in my Psychology class. His name is Luther Thomas and he's so fine. A six-foot-one, big and tall, sinfully sexy black man with the kind of smile that could melt an iceberg. The first time I laid eyes on him, it was hard not to stare. The guy was so damn fine! He's got the build of an athlete and the face of a male model. Not to mention that farm boy charm that simply drives me crazy. Luther hails from the farmlands of Georgia. He came to Raynham College the year they decided to add a varsity football team.
A lot of people had doubts about Raynham College fielding a varsity football program. Personally, I was all for it. Especially if it would boost male enrollment at the college. I mean, the world is a diverse place and women are working in fields like the armed forces, engineering and business. I don't feel that all-female schools are a necessity anymore. As modern women, we're going to encounter men in the workplace. So why not have them in the classroom? I support single-sex education, but mostly for high schools and in the interests of special populations. The only single-sex institutions of higher education which I respect are Morehouse College and Spellman College. They take care of the unique educational needs of black men and black women, respectively. They're good schools which should remain single-sex. Raynham College however was a bastion of all-white ideological feminism and I feel it's about time they invited men to join their ranks.
And so, Raynham College opened its doors to men. And young men came by the droves from high schools around the state of Massachusetts. They came in all shapes and sizes. Black. White. Asian. Latino. Middle-Eastern. And they made their presence felt. Raynham College had a reputation for being one of the quietest college campuses in America. The only time the school was even remotely animated was during sporting events or intense debates between this club or that one. To their credit, Raynham College had one of the best sports programs in the state of Massachusetts. The Raynham College Department of Athletics originally sponsored Women's Intercollegiate Softball, Basketball, Soccer, Cross Country, Ice Hockey, Field Hockey, Swimming, Volleyball, Water Polo, Rugby, Lacrosse, Golf, Tennis and Equestrian. They compete in the NCAA Division Three.
