Old Crush

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

So last night, my friends and I were talking about guys we used to like. I have not talked to him since elementary or seen him since him since middle school. I am in 10th grade now. I started looking at, lets call him Jeffery's instagram profile. I had a major crush on him during elementary school. My friends were telling me to hit him up because we do not go to the same school anymore. I did not. Later, when I had gotten home, my family was watching a movie. The first thing I notice was that one of the characters had the same name as Jeffery. I had first thought that this was just a weird coincidence and thought it was kinda creepy because we had just been talking about him. The weirdest part of this was that during my soccer game, he was playing on the field right next to me. Now I started to believe that these were signs or something along the sorts. I told my mother about this and she also told me I should get in touch with him and that she wants to see what he looked like. I thought he was gone after the game but I pulled around the corner in the car and he was right there. Lastly, later today I had sent my friend who knew about my crush on "Jeffery" a meme that joked about how someone would act on a first date with the person they like and she sent me back "lol @"Jeffery". I immediately called her and told her about all that has happened in the past 24 hours. She told me it has to be a sign and to also told me to talk to him. I feel like this is all too weird and connected and that it has to be something. Because i don't think something can go from not talking to him in years to suddenly having his name everywhere and seeing him.
