Being Collegiate

Nancy lived across the hall from me my freshman year in college. She decided she wanted to be my friend and I was too lazy to stop her. YEARS later, we are still friends, mostly because she's awesome and only just a little bit because I'm still too lazy to tell her to stop talking to me.

I guess the best thing about having friends who live far away from you is having a reason to go visit them and vice versa. I stayed with Nancy while I was out in LA last summer and it was shopping cart moves, Pink Berry, Pop Stars, karaoke and BCD House good times. A year later, it was my turn to show Nancy how much cooler Chicago is.

Nancy brought out the dormant sorority girl in me and despite the lack of sleep, inappropriate bartenders, dirty dirty martinis, an impromptu double date and losing (and then eventually finding) her cell phone, we had a Wabash Taps, cuddling, Dunkin' Donuts coffee, scarf-wearing, Evergreen and duck tongue good time.

Now wouldn't it be great if we both lived in the same city again?
