college coldtea Here ya go, 80 proof. It's not a priveledge, it's your duty 990225 ... emma there's a time and a place for everything. i don't really want to go though. maybe i can get a scholarship. 990315 ... a-team that's what it's here for? 990317 ... Emma TS A place of different learning then high school, wtih more sex and beer 990318 ... daxle I knew I was going to college before I knew what it was. Now the thought of four more years is killing the joy I could have had this june. Worth it I hope. 990421 ... leslie Take as much advantage of it as you can, while you can. I can't believe I sound so old! I'm only 23. 990528 ... Colleen A recent study found that college students with "A" averages consumed less than 3 drinks a week. "D" and "F" students admitted to swilling 11 or more a week. Coincidence? Methinks not. 991112 ... Quintessensual That study was so incomplete as to be meaningless. But fear not, as another study completes the picture and shows how hopelessly complex it really is. "A" college students smoke mj an average of 13 (+/- 9) times per week and have an average family income of $123,000 (+/- 28,000) while "D" and "F"ers smoke mj a mere 7 (+/- 4) times and have an average family income of $37,000 (+/- 7,000). Yes, there must be a correlation with something, but it ain't the weekly consumption of "drinks." 991112 ... oodles I'm a week away from the end of my freshman year--I can't believe it's already over. I learned more here in the first week than I learned my entire senior year. And I haven't stopped learning. Every day I find out something new about myself...about life. And I grow to love it more each day. (I just wish money and homework weren't issues.) 000429 ... jennifer "I still felt good, as I remembered the long nights in college laboring to broaden my knowledge. Oh please, who am I fooling? I spent most of my nights taking bong hits and trying to suck bean dip through a swizzle stick. Nevertheless, I felt somewhat confident." ~www.tweak.com/muck/ 000927 ... Zeroshin where we go to feel good about ourselves. i'm not an A student, i'm not a F student.... i'm a PAYING student... that's all that matters. 010118 ... Sintina Sucks. I don't have enough time. Everything is about time. Time with Matt, Time for work, Time for Drama, Time for class, Time to do this, Time to do that, And I never have enough. And I cry about it. And I bitch about it. And somehow I get everything done, but it's all only second rate bullshit, never good enough. I didn't have enough time to make it good. I'm going to lose my scholarship. I'm going to lose my scholarship. 010205 ... twiggie i don't know where i want to go... but i do know i'm going to double major in psychology and art. other than that, it's up for grabs. the only packet i've gotten from any college is st. ben's.. ...because my mom went there. this is causing too much stress. 010323 ... florescent light I'm graduating. Did my time. Loved every moment of it. Grew enormous amounts. Grad school will be next. 010323 ... Jenna Maybe I'll be thinking differently in three years but so far... NOT worth the time or energy I put into it. Geez, I really hope I will be thinking differently. Or that something better comes along before then. I'd hate to be stuck here, like now, just because I have nothing else to do. Very little ambition, or motivation. Or both. Hopefully things will look brighter in the morning. (There will be a test I have not studied for and a paper that I have not written because I worked all weekend. I'm just going to bed. I don't care anymore.) 011028 ... nocturnal I have such a better opinion of college since I switched majors. even last week and the weeks before that, when I knew I was going to switch, knew what I was going to switch to, I still had some floating negativity about being here. but now it's final. I have direction, I have a plan. and it's gonna kick ass from here on out. college rocks and everyone who doesn't go, for whatever reason, is seriously missing out. I didn't learn so much about myself last year, but this year I learn something new about myself or about people or about life in general every day. some of it I think I'd rather not know, but, as Emil Faber says, "Knowledge is Good." it's true of any kind of knowledge. the more you know about anything at all, the better equipped you are to deal with it, regardless of how hard it was to learn. I'm seriously so grateful to be able to go here, because I know a lot of people can't because of financial issues, or personal problems and I think every day how lucky I am that I can be here, doing EXACTLY what I want with such little hassle. I am so lucky. I am also such a slacker. I have a test tomorrow. a philosophy test, my new major. I've been on a study break for almost 3 hours now. I'm going to read more about surrogacy, cloning, and abortion issues. endless fun. HOOK 'EM! 011028 ... Norm There's more beer and sex in college than in high school??? Holy lord almighty in heaven, I can only dream of that much beer and sex. It must be like a huge druken orgy 126 hours a week. I can't wait, I can't wait!! 011028 ... yoink it's great to see the youth of america shaping up and following their dreams of success and adventure (see previous blathe) 020109 ... j_blue arbitrary 020109 ... Arwyn I can't exactly say I enjoy it... I can't exactly say i hate it either. Just a generally fun pain in the arse. 020110 ... Tim? Fraternity. Fuck chicks and drink beer. COLLEGE! 020110 ... Miffey she goes to Shepard college of all places! What's the luck? 020127 ... lady lunchbox it's shepherd college... and i go there. i like it here. people are nice, classes aren't too bad, and it's not too far from home. that means i can go home every few weeks for a good home-cooked meal, so i don't always have to eat that damn nasty cafeteria food. only two more years left. and i never thought i'd make it this far. 020215 ... Miffey hehe not you, sweetheart. that's the irony. 020217 ... angie I visited a college i am interested in this weekend. It was fun. I think I'll have fun. I think it is a step I am happy to take. I think... 020310 ... little wonder it's funny how almost a year later, i'm planning on going to the college that i got my only packet on as of last year. since then i've gotten 2 or 3 others [many colleges obviously feel i will be a good addition to their school] i should mention one of those is from a college i asked to get information on. another was one that my grandmother forced me into visiting and while i was there, they gave me this little card to fill out and it had no little box i could check that said "DO NOT SEND ME ANYTHING". i also still plan on double majoring in art and psych, which surprises me a great deal...and maybe it will actually happen. i love my school so much and i've only visited there once. i love it even more when my mom talks about her old college days up there. hophophophophophophop [so excited] 020310 ... misstree *begins to feel friggin' ancient* considering going back to college... not university, college, as in community... taking some damn business classes so's i can put some steel toes on my job-stomping boots. 020311 ... Syrope i'm going. soon. i'm excited. NC State. Engineering. Freedom. Independence. Learning. Support. Opportunity. Memories....yes, memories. I can't wait to gloss over the past 18 horrible years with that cure-all ointment...*the passage of time* 020416 ... unhinged i remember when i thought college was going to chase away all the gloom. all i found in college was drugs and razorblades. 020416 ... CJ college is never what you think it will be. I don't know anyone that has gone to college or is still in college that has not changed in some aspect of their life. College for me has opened my mind and my views and I have realized that drugs, beer and time to slack off when you should be working are abundant. The one thing that isn't is the knowledge of what you will go through once you are there. 020416 ... Syrope anything is better than here. i've resisted dying long enough to look forward to what everyone sees as a borish disappointment. i'm going to be a college nerd and love every minute. i can't wait. 020417 ... daxle hey former self, it only took 3 years... but it was still worthless like you suspected 020829 ... eklektic before you leave you say you want to go to angel falls with me so you can act extra gay. then you invited me up to school for a visit sometime. i dont know about the visit. but i'll let you be gay all you want. 020830 ... lo i'm finally ready for the jump into this new life experience...ready to learn and apply myself...i finally "found" myself...spent a few years trying to figure out hey what the hell do i want to do? getting my wildness out my irresponsibilty..aligned myself with reality...i don't want to waste my college time i want to soak up every bit of thought and knowledge.want to get the knowhow so i can get to the place i want to be. life without learning can be so bland. i kept learning on my own but i want some formal learning. i really really hope college doesn't end up disappointing...i would be so sad if it is really like high school like so many people say. i need mental stimulation a challenge i need to learn something new..... 020830 ... girl_jane "You'll have to teach me how to use msn before you go to college so I can sit here, and you can sit there or there and we can talk." "Ok, but that's a year away, Mom." ... I'm the youngest child. I think she's getting sad and trying to hold on to me. Maybe that's why she grounded me. 020831 ... Kate Dear Megan, Thank you for being excited when I called tonight. I'm taking your absence well. Of course you would leave, because you aren't being challenged. I am glad that you thought out your reasons; you articulated them well. I'm not hurt that you didn't tell me yesterday, or angry, or really sad. Just matter-of-fact. Because even though sometimes we didn't connect, or recently we missed opportunities to, I still love you and I have all those wonderful memories of two and three years ago when we were best friends. Everything makes perfect sense- now you can graduate early, and go to Ohio Northern, and study chemistry indepth. I pray that you won't miss out on what's important in life, although I know that our ideas of what that is are different. I will miss you, dear Megan Sweet. Love always, Kate 020905 ... blue star so far, it's kind of boring... 020905 ... Syrope i love it here 020905 ... phil I run a college out of my parents basement whatever that means 020905 ... sweetheart of the song tra bong brand new I seriously like it Except I don't know how to deal with these boys at night. 020906 ... Ant - Berklee College of Music Rocks!!!! 030202 ...

After linguistics class I went out into the unusually warm night. I strolled across campus to my car and breathed the night air. And for the first time in 10 years, I
