Meet Mitchell

Picture this: a guy who, despite his towering height and broad shoulders, has the brain capacity of a two-year-old. It’s like he’s a toddler trapped in a college bro’s body, and honestly, it’s both hilarious and a little heartbreaking.

Imagine sitting at the dining hall, trying to enjoy your meal, when suddenly you glance over at Mitchell. There he is, face smeared with Gerber baby food, blissfully unaware of the mess he’s making. It’s like watching a toddler tackle spaghetti for the first time—pure chaos! His laughter echoes through the room, and while part of me wants to cringe, another part can’t help but chuckle.

And let’s talk about the infamous “bed-shitting” incident. Oh boy! I remember one night when the guys and I were having a movie marathon. Mitchell, in his usual carefree spirit, decided to take a nap on the couch. When he woke up, let’s just say the couch was not the only thing that needed cleaning. His pamper looked like it was about to burst, and the expression on his face was priceless—confusion mixed with sheer joy, as if he had just discovered a new toy.

In moments like these, it’s hard not to think about how we must treat Mitchell like a toddler. Sure, he might not have the cognitive skills of a typical college student, but his heart is pure gold. He brings a lightness to our lives that we didn’t know we needed. It’s a reminder that sometimes, life doesn’t have to be taken so seriously.

So, the next time you see Mitchell, think about how we can all learn a little something from him. Life is messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright embarrassing. But it’s those moments that make the journey worthwhile. Embrace the chaos, and remember to laugh—because at the end of the day, we’re all just kids at heart, trying to navigate our way through this wild ride called life.
