What is triton eye?

Right, I'll explain.

As mentioned in a previous blog, my friends have warned me that I may become the victim of Triton Eye. I have definitely become victim to Triton Eye, but then again I went to Warwick University so you can't really blame me.

Triton Eye occurs when one has been in UCSD too long. The main symptom is that one starts believing that other UCSD students are good looking. It is an ongoing joke that UCSD students (especially boys apparently) are not good looking and consequently, when one develops a crush for one it is considered that you become the victim of Triton Eye (you have only been exposed to UCSD students and it has been so long since you've seen a 'real man' that your brain begins to shift and you find the student good looking - once you return to the real world, you will apparently realise your mistake).

Now, maybe I am just an easy victim to such diseases because I found UCSD boys good looking the first day I got here, but I think it is more to do with the fact that UCSD has loads of good looking students and also I have been in Warwick for the past two years! We were voted the second ugliest University in the UK (and yes this was regarding students and not the architecture). So I have been suffering with Warwick Conjunctivitis for a while now. Now I'm hardly the right person to judge, and trust me I am well and truly grateful that Triton Eye exists because maybe after a couple of weeks it might start to work in my favour, but hey, I'm allowed to love watching good looking boys strut around campus! My friend Catalina even goes a bit further and whistles at boys when they walk past, or she goes even further and tells them they are good looking, like the other week when she walked up to a boy on the telephone and said "You are beautiful, no?"

Another popular term around campus is 'Yellow Fever' based on the famous video created by UCSD alumni Wong Fu Productions. The YouTube video was shot on campus by UCSD students (who have now grown to become internet celebrities) and based around the large amount of asians on campus. UCSD is known for having a lot of asians. The video was comical sketch about the fact that whenever someone sees a couple which contains an asian and then another race it is the female that is the asian. It is basically a humorous video on how white guys were stealing all the asian girls and that no asian guy could ever go out with a white girl but frequently one sees a white guy with an asian girl. The term 'Yellow Fever' has developed from this video and means when a non-asian girl finds herself attracted to an asian guy. It is another joke about the fact one has been cooped up to long on the UCSD campus. There are many good looking asians but alas I have not yet become victim to 'Yellow Fever'.
