Fantasy Girl

Every time I hear the 80's rock group .38 Special's song "Fantasy Girl" it takes me back to my senior year of college. Me and two of my friends had moved into an apartment near campus and moving day on a college campus is always hectic. There are so many things to do, so many new neighbors to meet, and so many parties to try to go to. Every guy, at some point and time in his life, sees his "Fantasy Girl". She is beautiful, she is sexy, and she is usually someone you can never have. I saw my Fantasy Girl on moving day my Senior Year of college. Dark hair, beautiful brown eyes, the sweetest smile, and a very nice body. Unfortunately I saw her butthead boyfriend standing beside her about 5 seconds later. I tagged her with the nickname "Fantasy Girl" (at least that is what me and my friends called her) and it kind of stuck. A few weeks later I learned her name was Susan but Fantasy Girl seemed so much more appropriate and that was the name that stuck. As the school year went on, I got to know her a little bit better and she was as sweet and nice as she was beautiful. I even got to help her with a History paper in the second semester and that was about the only time in four years of college that being a History Goob ever paid off for me. I would love to say I went out with her at least one time but mere mortals such as myself did not go out with Greek Goddesses and my Fantasy Girl was just that, a fantasy. The thought of her still brings back a ton of good memories.
