High school days: memories of the good or bad memories makes you perceive high school differently. One small info about someone and finding out more based on the one piece of info. Process of taking piece of info of someone and forming an impression of them. Checking phone screen saver to see if single. People like to stick with their initial impression. We tend to remember the first and the last thing - forget the middle part. Halo: one piece of positive info -> positive light on the person.
