Keep it pushin'

Some people don't know when to let stuff go. Everyday I hear a comment, get invited somewhere or is asked about something that no longer pertains to me... the news, events and status of stuff that only a person attending or working at SIUC would know, and guess what people I no longer attend SIUC. I may be in the same city but I have officially become an outsider, which is fine with me but other people still want me to feel like an insider, be inside the scoop.
