You’ve browsed through AMAZON.COM
It’s just like going to TARGET, HOME DEPOT, or COSTCO sometimes, where you know you’re just going to run in for one item, and end up walking out with a shopping cart full of stuff you never knew you needed until you actually saw it on the shelf.

If you think that everyone in school was absolutely perfect at everything – sports, tests, popularity – then your memory of high school is much fuzzier than everyone else’s has been. THE BREAKFAST CLUB did sum it up perfectly in that everyone in school was, at one time or another “a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, a princess”… and maybe a little bit of a criminal.
