On arriving at Heathrow, and spending quite a few hours there two days in a row, I had a few thoughts. The shallowest of these was “If that girl were a Spice Girl, which one would she be?” It has become routine with my friends to classify passing girls into their appropriate Spice category. It’s a simple system- blonde is Baby, anything other than white is Scary(an extremely unfortunate name), dressed up is Posh, in warmups is Sporty, and red hair is Ginger. Ginger is the rarest. Loughborough U is an extremely athletic place so most days you see a lot of Sporty Spices. If you head to the bar at night you’ll see girls who hours ago were Sporty but have changed categories to Posh.
I admit that there are shortcomings to the system. More categories are needed. Some ideas thrown around by friends and roomates: Eco Spice, India Spice, China Spice, Drunk Spice, Professional Spice, Loud Spice, Studying Spice, as well as combinations like Sporty Studying Baby Spice.
So which Spice girl is your favorite? You don’t have to pick one right away, reflect on it.
