Heinrich's pg 38-78

Whenever I engage in a conversation with my parents, I talk to them extremely different than I speak to my high school best friends for the simple fact that my parents are old-fashioned and emphasize respect so much. So if I had to tell my mother about my first college party I would explain how I took forever trying to decide what to wear and ended up dressing casually and felt out of place when I got there because all of the other women were all dressed up and I was wearing jeans. I would also be very sure to tell her how I didn’t drink any alcohol and I watched other people get drunk to the point where they were throwing up all over the place. When my mom asked what time I got home I would say, “I left around 2:00 and made it home safely soon after”. Last, I would brag about how I was dancing and everyone was talking about how I can dance really well the next day.
On the other hand, my best friend Tiffany would get a completely different version of what happened at my first college. I would start by telling her how I wasn’t exactly sure what to wear so I dressed sexy casual with a dressy top, skinny jeans, and heels, and I feel like I stood out because a lot of the other women looked alike. I would then go on to tell her how I didn’t drink any alcohol but I did take a jell-o shot and I watched the people make it to make sure they didn’t put anything in it! Last, I would give my best friend a detailed description of all the guys that I danced with and how some of them asked if they could “come back to my place”. Tiffany and I would then laugh together when I tell her how I shut them all down and left the party alone and made it back to my dorm about 3:00am because I went to eat at Waffle House with a few of my teammates.
