A Different Breed

So today as I walked to class in the wonderfully awesome weather we are currently experiencing here in Clemson. My walk was somewhat ruined by the girls I happened to be walking in front of, who were speaking very loudly and very obnoxiously (Not the good kind of obnoxious Jeramy). The one girl who I later discovered is named Marissa was first talking about her class and how her teacher always adds stupid *4 letter word* to the notes. Is language really necessary in this type of situation? Then she begins talking about how she had a relatively long conversation with her mother the other day. After a while her mother asked her, Marissa why are you talking to me, you never talk to me, oh I get it you just want money don't you. Before I continue to Marissa's response I just want to say how sad it is that number one Marissa and her mom don't ever talk and number two that her mother wouldn't just want to talk without expecting her daughter to ask for money. Marissa's response....well I mean I don't really need money but I mean I do have "Spring Fling" coming up that is going to cost a bit more than I want to spend. Her mother then asked how much it was and she replied with $170-200. Apparently her mother replied with *4 letter word* that, you can pay for that *4 letter word* on your own. Marissa is just laughing as she tells then and then tells her mother it is for leadership or something like that, her mother said no Marissa all you are going to be doing is drinking all weekend. Marissa agrees yeah but I mean you could still pay for it. Her mother told her no but had apparently told her she would pay for formal. Also her mother had told her, hey Marissa maybe you should just get a boyfriend so he can take you to formal and he can pay for it. This is where I left in the conversation and just continued on towards Sirrine. Perhaps I should not ahve been listening to the conversation, however, it was hard not to because it was a very loud conversation. Needless to say I wish I had not heard the conversation, but anyway it made me think that sorority girls are almost of a different breed with a lot of different priorities. I'm definitely not saying I'm better than these girls in anyway but definitely just different.
