Catholic Solidarity

I met a CIL member at a networking event today. This was our conversation. This is not an exaggeration.

Mr. Alumni Stadium: So where did you go to school?

St. Claire: Georgetown.

Mr. Alumni Stadium: Oh, I'm not sure if we can keep talking.

St. Claire: Why's that? (smiling)

Mr. Alumni Stadium: Well I really wanted to go to Georgetown. Like really, really wanted to go. I got wait listed, even. I went to Boston College.

St. Claire: Oh...I love Boston! (awkward pause)

Please see my first posts to explain why this exchange was inherently uncomfortable.

The moral of the story is, meeting a fellow CIL member doesn't have to be awkward. Just remember, we have Catholic solidarity!!

Until next time, St. Claire
