Anecdote from a CVS
My girlfriend and I were at CVS waiting in the check-out line, and sitting in one of the chairs at the Pharmacy counter was a co-ed who had obviously just graduated from UNC. She was also talking on her mobile, at full volume, about every detail of her life for the last 3 days.
At first i was annoyed. Then I began to feel like I was on some reality show and the camera was rolling. Maybe I am.
"And OMG, do you know what she SAID about me? I was like, really hurt, you know???"
I began to remember college. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
She concluded her conversation with the following:
"So then they played 'Carolina In My Mind', and like, I just lost it. OMG."
They play that at EVERY UNC graduation. James Taylor was a UNC grad. No big shock. (Mr. Rogers spoke at my commencement, no lie. We all sang "Won't you be my neighbor." No one lost it, I don't think.)
...and the kicker:
"So I was like, OMG college is over, what's left of my life?"
LOL!!!! :)
I wanted to grab her phone, point at the cashier - and the customer - and say, "Absolutely NOTHING. You're either going to serve, or you're going to GET served."
