Don't Stop Believin... Unless You've Graduated

Tonight, Melissa, Lauren D and I went to St. Anthony's Festa down in Monongahela.

I'm pretty sure it's been held every summer since Christ was born, but I've never been. I'd heard good and bad things about it (good = food, bad = running into people you knew you'd never want to see again after high school graduation) but finally, this summer opted to go.

What I didn't realize, was that quality advice is offered at no additional charge!

Lauren D: You know, I heard your chances of meeting someone dramatically decreases by a significant amount once you graduate college.
(Obviously Single) Me: Umm. Thanks, Lauren?
Lauren D: Oh. Uhhh... But that's not always true! I mean, look at Melissa! (Melissa just had a few successful dates with this guy who lives nearby.)
Me: (pause) Melissa hasn't graduated yet.
Lauren D: Oh. Well then. Nevermind.
