Alisha Sanchez 2003 high school graduate

High school grad thinks love really exists, likes a guy with a sense of humor, but isn't into holidays

Wildcat: Hi, my name's Nathan and you're on the spot. Do you think it's normal for people to look in the toilet after they're done? Is that natural?

Sanchez: Um · I guess, yeah.

Wildcat: What do you mean by "yes"? Do you think everyone's done it?

Sanchez: Not everybody.

Wildcat: How would people avoid doing it? Just close the lid really quick before you stand up or something?

Sanchez: Well, just don't pay attention. Like you're all into it or something.

Wildcat: That's a good suggestion. So Valentine's Day just happened, right? Do you think love really exists or do you think teddy bear makers just refuse to relinquish their jobs?

Sanchez: Wait. What do you mean by that?

Wildcat: Does love really exist?

Sanchez: Yeah. But I think Valentine's Day and many holidays are so ·

Wildcat: Commercialized?

Sanchez: Yeah.

Wildcat: So what do you look for in a guy? Does your man have to be educated?

Sanchez: Well, he is, but that's not what it is.

Wildcat: What is it? Nice eyebrows?

Sanchez: No. Sense of humor.

Wildcat: Do you laugh really weird? Do you have like that Fandango puppet laugh?

Sanchez: Sometimes.

Wildcat: Is it jokes, or is he a prankster? Tell me about this dude. I'm intrigued.

Sanchez: Stuff that embarrasses me, but it's still funny. There's stuff like, we were at a restaurant and they wouldn't fill his drinks forever, and he just went back into the kitchen and refilled it himself.

Wildcat: Oh wow.

Sanchez: Yeah. They were all yelling at him and everything and he was like: "What? You guys didn't refill my drink." He just does stuff like that. It's very funny.

Wildcat: Yeah. That's what you need. A spontaneous man who has his own ideas about things. That's cool. I can dig that.
