Our conversation usually revolves around the three hour class we just endured. We vent, we try to understand and then the conversation takes a turn to random: everything from health care reform, to cats, to our families.
Then one shinning day at lunch it turned to love life. There are usually five of us at lunch, all but one is single. The single ladies all had a common experience before moving to Auburn. Our families all wished us happiness in finding a future husband. The fact that we were moving away to further educate ourselves being an overlooked point.
That's when one of my new friends suggested doing a blog series on dating drama. Genius. Pure genius. I'm going to start doing some posts that follow along with what it's like trying to date in the South. What it's like to be an independent woman in a place where girls still go to school specifically to find a husband. How hard it is to meet guy (or well anyone) in a new place because grad school takes over your life, especially in a department that is over run by the female sex.
Being a girl who can't talk football, doesn't necessarily want children and wants to move above the Mason Dixon isn't really a gem in the South. On the other hand I do make a mean sandwich and I have references to prove it.
This post starts my journey into the dating world of Auburn, and I've got some fun adventures planned to write about. Along with some pretty fantastic pictures to accompany them. Hopefully, my lunch crew will allow me to tell some of the stories that they encounter as well.
Keep your eyes peeled for these blog posts, they'll be scattered in with the regular posts.
Stay Sassy,
-A
