Model UN. Every year, about five hundred or so of us either make the
trek or have made the trek back in our high school days up to lovely
Monticello for the coveted conference. Issues are discussed, resolutions
are passed, but more importantly there are many friends and memories
that are made, ones that could even change your life forever. It is very
easy to spot a YUNMUNite (besides the fact that now everything they own
is draped with the YU logo) if you know what to look for. So with out
further, adieu, here are the...
Top 10 signs you went on YUNMUN.
10. You know what YUNMUN stands for.
9. You wanted to go to the basketball tournament,
but finally settled on Sarachek for Nerds.
8. You sat there for three days and said nothing,
but wound up winning best delegate as the only one who wasn't too
obscene.
7. Perrier, Evian, forget about it. The only water
you will drink is Yeshiva University brand.
6. Despite a low GPA and low SAT scores, you are
confident about applying for a YU/Stern honors scholarship based on the
fact that you had your resolution passed.
5. You still dream about the time that your
attractive committee chair announced a motion to caucus.
4. At one point in your life, Kutshers on a Sunday
Night was a happening place.
3. You spend the next four months repeatedly
washing and drying your YUNMUN shirt so that it will fit on time for
camp.
2. You have searched every office supply store in
your city for one of those binders that the YULA girls carry
around.
1. You are seriously involved in a relationship
with a significant other whose name you don't actually know and you only
refer to as Denmark.
From Dani Klein , YUNMUN X delegate - Rambam Mesivta - Palestine (yes, palestine)
1) You're given Palestine, and yet by day 2, you have declared statehood and can now vote.
2) A resolution is passed to de-smellify the Middle East (those of you from Mid East Summit know what Im talking about)
3) You, for the only time in your life, argue on behalf of the Palestinians.
4) When Canada isnt represented in your room, you purposefully poke fun at Canada, asking the kids from CHAT, "what are you talking aboot?"
From Susanne Goldstone, 3 Time YUNMUN
Chairperson
You were assigned Djibouti and thought it was a fictional country.
You knew the evening curfew's sole
purpose was for your chairs to head out to Wal-Mart to pick up more
candy to pass out at tomorrow's committee sessions.
You were appointed the delegate to motion
for a formal caucus as soon as an advisor walked in if the committee was
playing Hangman on the white board.
You decide to change the sign outside the
committee room to read, Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination
Against MEN, instead of Women, just to upset all the female delegates.
You are the only guy in the Women's
Rights committee, but still manage to win the gavel.
If
you go to Vernon Valley Great Gorge for something other than skiing (For
us old timers…)
You think stealing gavels can get you kicked out of the real United
Nations (or at least have your school boycotted from any awards)
When someone calls you an apikores you respond with a right of reply
In order to ask someone on a date, you use of point of personal
privilege
