I have a class in the Management Building this year. For anyone unfamiliar with Tech's campus, that means I have a class inconveniently far away from everything in the galaxy. On Monday, I walked to Management in business wear because of the career fair. I walked the length of the building to my assigned lecture hall, got to the door, then experienced what I thought was me stepping in gum and sticking a bit to the ground. It was actually the entirety of my sandal sole being ripped from the rest of the shoe. So that was neat.
Inspired by Madi's comparisons, here is one way I've changed since freshman year. Freshman Molly would have something like this happen, immediately well up in tears, walk in circles until she found a bench in the shade, call her mom and ask why her life was determined to be awful (and throw in some complaints about her roommate), dig in to the almonds she packed in her backpack every morning, and pull up the transfer applications tabbed in her web browser. Senior Molly shook a proverbial fist, internally said "put it on my tab", and pulled out a stapler.
The stapler in question is really tiny, so it did no good whatsoever. I ended up walking barefoot through the building to Barnes and Noble (Senior Molly knows that Management and Barnes and Noble are connected) and scanning the displays for a pair of shoes that I would potentially wear again and finding nothing but flip flops and rain boots so I got flip flops. I told the cashier I had a shoe malfunction and she remarked to me that these sure were expensive flip flops and I bit my tongue. You think I want to be be spending this money on flip flops right here, right now?!
I ended up wearing the flip flops to the career fair. It was a little shocking to some people, but I kind of do what I want. Hire me?
