This DePaul dame is dormless.

That's right.
This average braud is enrolled as an incoming freshman to DePaul University.
As excited as I am about campus life, internships, downtown Chicago, and being close to my extended family, my enthusiasm is becoming overshadowed by my fear of being dormless.
I got this cute little postcard giving me a 'Friendly Reminder' of my current situation.

"Dear Olivia, In case you were enjoying your young life worry free, we would like to remind you that so far you will be starting your freshman year dormless. Enjoy your summer!"

My last weeks of summer are quickly dissipating and I can't help but fear that I'll start off the school year in some shady building just off campus...

This is about music.

Stitch's Selection

I walked into Best Buy originally to see if they had any works of Robert Townsend for my dad.

(For those who don't have much color, never heard the catchy but somewhat derogatory jingle "Only on the W.B.!" sang by a frog, or never watched Disney Channel back when it was hosted by cartoon robots, Townsend is a black actor, comedian, and director most famous for his movie Hollywood Shuffle, TV series The Parent 'Hood, and to 90's babies Up, Up, and Away.)

But when I passed the music section a Prince and The Revolution CD caught my eye. The sign above the shelves labeled everything below as discount music. So I put my phone and car keys in my purse and got in my shopaholic stance - wide stance, knees slightly bent, fingers flexed, and peripheral vision turned to the max to see if other customers are entreating on your treasures...or possible treasures once you look in that area - and began to peruse through CD's.

A guy strolled up just seconds later seeing the sale sign, flipped through a few on a lower shelf, then walked away.
