Has college really changed that much?
Fiery's most recent installment of "I'm going to quit (fill in the blank) and play poker," got me thinking about this topic again. I've never understood it.
I went to college. Here's what I did:
-Wake up and take some drugs to kill the hangover
-Think "oh [censored], I missed religion." (I went to a private religious school, Pepperdine, so I had to take 4 semesters of religion. It sucked.)
-Smoke a bowl.
-Go to the beach and have lunch.
-Go to class for a bit
-Go to the quad and try to pick up chicks
-Go home and smoke a bowl
-Go to the gym and play volleyball
-Go home and drink 982372923402 beers
-Go to some sporting event or a party or a bar
-pass out
During this rigorous time in my life, several thoughts went through my mind:
"That chick is so hot."
"This bud is so sticky"
"This class is so lame"
"I want a beer"
"We should go surfing"
But not once. Not ever. Not for one second during my four years did it ever occur to me that I should quit.
All of my friends who went to UCLA, UCSD, USC, Stanford, and Berkley all had pretty much the same experience except that it took 5 and 1/2 years instead of 4.
WTF!? Has college really changed that much in the past 15 years?
Some of you kids are nuts.

PS- You can carry 20 units and play 800 SNGs a month while drinking every single night and sleeping till noon. Easily.
