Turkey Time and Procrastination

As the semester is winding down to a halt I notice that college students everywhere, me included, are starting to become more and more lazy and not going to class and not doing their homework. At the coffee shop that is eminent because I now see more people socialising and on social media than on canvas or Microsoft word doing homework. One thing that really annoyed me though was the two sets of obnoxious girls who were way to loud for this shop. They were just really loud, laughing a lot, and just living up to the "white girl" stereotype. It is weird how that stereotype started and how it is now joked about. All white girls drink Starbucks, wear uggs, eat nutella, have iPhones, and wear yoga pants. How this started I have no clue. I also heard the phrase "She/he is thirsty." Where did that come from? Now I can't even exclaim my need for a beverage without people laughing and saying "Ya you are." How do these phrases, relatively new for our generation, start? How do any phrases start? I always wonder this and how fashion trends start. It is bewildering to me how one person can have such an influence on a group. I notice the workers are as lazy and over work as ever. Texting away and rolling their eyes when customers walk in. One thing really shocked me today was their was an accident. Two people, one with one drink the other with a pack of four, ran into each other. Hot coffee everywhere. I felt so bad but after the initial shock the two laughed about it, worked it out, got new drinks, and walked out of the store together. To me that's the classic case of chance or fate. I really want to know what happened after they left the shop. These assignments have made me such a snoop and I feel bad! I always want to know what happens to the shop goers lives on the next episode of Ethnographic Field Notes.
