McDonald's

Wednesday morning I was sitting in my Personal Health and Wellness class and we were learning about eating disorders, Anorexia and Bulimia. Brother Evans told us about two girls that he knew who were bulimic. These girls went to McDonald's one night to have an eating contest to see who could eat the most number of Big Macs. The contest was over when one of them either threw up or stopped eating. These two girls, normal size and weight, were able to consume 13 and 15 Big Macs. I was a little disturbed at this fact but it got me craving a Big Mac.

So after Council Keri, Steven and I were hungry and cold. This is when McDonald's sounded like a great idea, so off we were to get our hot cocoa and my Big Mac. Sounds very normal right? Well that is where you would be wrong. The whole way there, the whole time there, and the whole way back to our apartments we were speaking in English accents and having a 'jolly good' time. I am certain that some people thought we were crazy...but where is the fun in being normal? 

Something else I rather enjoyed was listening to both mine and Keri's laughs at the same time. We recently found out that we have the same laugh. A friend that served his mission in South Africa told us that it sounds like a zebra. So just picture walking into a McDonald's to get a delicious and fattening dinner one Wednesday night and encountering some college students laughing like zebras and talking like Britain's. I wish I could have seen us.

I have a feeling that this is something that I am going to love remembering about college. Random trips out with friends, speaking in accents and just being silly. I love my friends :)

-still the odd one out-
