Tory Burch heels = not appropriate attire for an elephant ride
This woman also tried to chat with me for like 20 minutes about colleges because her son is 17 / applying soon (and I’m 25, thus an expert on the matter…)
Actual comments she made include:
- on Duke, when I told her I went there [upon having been asked … I wasn’t just name-dropping the school]: “I thought everybody hated it there”
- on Stanford, “yeah, [my son] likes it, but we’re thinking there more for MBA”
I kind of hate America sometimes
