Be prepared to be shocked

Today, I betrayed my personal beliefs and convictions.
I fell in love....with Wal-Mart.
That's right, you read that right. I am ashamed to be typing it right now.

I hate Wal-Mart, really I do. I hate all that it stands for. I hate that Fort Wayne has five Wal-Marts, for what reason may I ask you? But today, I did something absolutely horrific. I was glad (!!!) to be able to step foot into a Wal-Mart. What has drove me to this, you may ask? College. College has broken down my barrier. You see, I needed to go buy my friend a gift. And Wal-Mart is only ten minutes off  campus and my roommate has a car now. So we drove to Wal-Mart.

A strange feeling took over my body when I walked into the fluorescent lit store. I felt happy and free. There was nothing at Wal-Mart to remind me of exams, papers, or lectures. Just pure commercialism. I suddenly felt an urge to buy every food item I saw on the shelf. Don't worry, I restrained myself. It was like I have been deprived of grocery store normality that Wal-Mart just happened to fix my need. I didn't even know that I was suffering until we pulled into the parking lot. Now I really know.

Anyways, I only bought the stuff on my list, so I was pretty proud of myself. Please understand that I am being highly dramatic in this post. However, it is still a bit of a frightening revelation for myself. Have a nice evening, and a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow!
