- Class: Possibly the highlight of college. I got what I paid for.
- Drunk texts: Whether I sent or received the messages, and whether they were well- or poorly received, it was nice laugh off boozy communications.
- Girls: Thousands of 'em. All over the place. Hot, too.
- Front-yard parties: What's better than the great outdoors? Drinking in the great outdoors.
- Unlimited meal plans: I lamented not having this plan as a "triathlete" with license to eat 50% more than Freshman-15 Drew.
- Walking everywhere: Nothing was ever out of reach; plus, it helped fight the aforementioned Freshman 15. No risk of drinking and driving if you can stand The Strip.
- TRECs: When you think about it, college is like a resort with expansive pools and a great workout room. Plus, Smoothie King!
Things I Don't Miss About College
- Class: How much time did I waste learning stuff I already knew? Or stuff I might never use?
- Drunk texts: The day I learned to keep my phone from beeping every three minutes until it woke me up was a milestone. Also, sorry to anybody I drunk-texted. I don't remember it -- I swear.
- Girls: Thousands of 'em. All over the place. Hot, too. Too hot for me. Wasted opportunities.
- Front-yard parties: I never had real fun, especially once I realized that UTPD doesn't need a real reason to crash the party: Kegs full of flat, cheap beer. Mingling. Ugh.
- Unlimited meal plans: How much poor-quality food can you stuff down in a single setting?
- Walking everywhere: The sweat stains on my shirts and shorts were pretty embarrassing. The Strip gets really old.
- TRECs: Meat-heads and guys with huge biceps/chicken legs abound. Smoothie King practically robs college students blind -- $7 for 1,500 calories of chalky protein? No thanks.
In other words, everything that is awesome about college also sucks. Is the shot glass half full, or half empty?
