How to Get Professionally Beaten Up by a Girl

Hipsters 'R Hill?

When you get to know a girl like Michelle Tripp for a while, and you go without her for an even longer while, you certainly can feel a hole in your life as a "cool" person. Such has been the case in my life as of late because of, well, that exact reason. You see, Michelle Tripp is a trip, to put it completely witty and humorously. I met her two years ago while working at Caswell and we've been good friends ever since, even when she gives me the cold shoulder for 6 to 8 months. I finally caught up with her in Garner today and she took me to one of the hipster centres of the state, Franklin Street in Chapel Hill.

Now, I may have been to Chapel "Thrill" at some point in my past but if so, I don't really remember it, so I'll count this as my first Tripp. (It really never gets old does I....ok I'll stop)
I must say, if I had the raw intelligence to get them to take a second look at my transcript, I might actually think of transferring to UNC at some point. It's a really nice town. "The Street," which was initially rather bare and boring when we arrived at 6:30, really filled out in the later hours whilst we coffee shop hopped from place to place. The hustle and bustle of college students and 20-somethings really made for a friendly atmosphere that I have yet to experience in downtown Wilmington.
Now, to be fair, I rarely left campus at UNCW this past year, but the times I did there just seemed to be a lot of scary fanged emo/devil kids, freshly escaped from high school roaming around. At Chapel Hill things weren't like that. If someone mugged you, they'd at least be classy about it. At one point during the night I almost felt like I should see a horse and buggy on the road rather than the pesky cars that flittered here at there. It just had that quaint charm to it.
For everyone that hates Chapel Hill I'll give you something to grasp, to as far as continuing to like me, in conceding that this has only been my first impression and upon visiting again I could still find something to hate. Rest assured that with my pessimistic view on public schools, it could happen. Thanks again to Michelle for the ride to cool town.

When I think of how you classily mug someone, I'll be sure to write it in great detail for you guys. God Bless and GOODNIGHT!
