Freshman Year
Ah, to be a college freshman again. I feel like my memories of freshman year are starting to fade. I really don't want that to happen. That year was certainly a crazy one. I probably learned more about life in general in that 9 month period than I have in any other time of my life. Below, an ode to freshman year:
Lots of experimentation. Lots of change. Little sleep. Lots of fun.Dorm food. Meal points. Drinking beer. Realizing beer is kind of gross.
Walking to class. Not going to class. Homework. Hard as fuck classes (Revelle gives no gifts). Learning that school isn't always about classes.
Ethnicities. Racism. NorCal. SoCal.
Calculus. Hum. Computer Science. Linguistics. Cognitive Science.
Secret crush. Public crush. Tell all letters. Roots of love.
New friends. Frat people. Jew Crew. Suite 350. Lifelong bonds.
Getting lost on the bus (day 1). Video Documentaries. The Cliffs. Roommates with opposite sleeping schedules?
Experimentation. Brown hair. Drunk Passover. Tijuana. Et Cetera.
...that was fun. Sappy, but fun.

I'm pretty sure I was your Secret Crush, either that or I was part of the Jew Crew.

Hey! I remember those times. I STILL have not seen those video documentary. I have soooo many lessons from freshman year here are a few of mine:
4) There are certain phrases you never say to a girl
3) You never get overly vested in friends
2) No matter how smart you are, there is always someone smarter who can burn you in the dust. In my case, there were about 19,999 of them.
1) Life is NOT, NOT,... NOT about money.
