favorite thing/memories about college

Existentialism, Transcendentalism, Relativity, Keynesianism, Situationism, Marxism, Taoism, Dadaism, Expressionism and a million other "isms" discussed and explained by people who actually understand and care about them, combined with weed, beer, mushrooms, and a whole medicine cabinet of other substances, taken with friends and a good dose of Nihilism, leading to some serious fun and growth and a unique learning experience that has little to do with how much money it costs or how much you will make (if you're hung up on that then you truly are under the "Man's" thumb). Ever had sex while on mushrooms, during an existential crisis, brought on by the complexities of relativity being revealed to you, through viewing a slideshow of Salvadore Dali paintings, while you were high from bong hits you took prior to reading three chapters of The Invisible Man, the night you helped your team win the conference championship in soccer then drank off a keg by a bonfire on the shore of a lake in the woods of a town that time forgot? IF YOU DON'T GO TO COLLEGE, YOU MISS OUT. If you're bitter, keep it to yourself.

"I did have a test today. That wasn't bullshit. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European, I don't plan on being European, so who gives a crap if they're socialist? They could be fascist anarchists - that still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car. Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me.' Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus and I'd still have to bum rides off of people." - Ferris Bueller

I'm actually really looking forward to college. When I finished high school, college didn't seem real at all, due to the fact that I was moving to whistler. I thought that college would probably blow, and that I would be happier just skiing all my life. I still planned on going to college, but only so I could trot out some sort of degree at the age of 50 when ski bumming got a little old and hopefully land a job.
After living the life of a ski bum for a little while, I realized that I need intellectual stimulation. I've been living in an intellectual vacuum. I miss learning. Probably the most fun I've had so far this year was a 2 and a half day long avy course. Granted, this hasn't been the best year for snow, but still.
It seems like everyone finds their niche in college, and damn quick. EVERYONE i know, even if they were pretty awkward in high school, has a group of great friends to kick around with.

BWAHAHA!!!

Favorite moment during college: Playing "naked softball" for the first time at a "summer field camp" for us geo-nerd students. The rules were pretty simple - remove clothes, and drink a beer at the kegs set up at each base. After the game, get more beer, go to the skinny-dipping hole, then later go to the big barbeque later (with or without clothes depending on your level of sobriety).

Least favorite moment: Sliding into second base while playing "naked softball" for the third time. :eek:

As for all y'all that haven't been to school yet, do yourself a favor, and don't study something like "geology," where you're almost no better off after studying 6 years at a 4-year school then if you didn't go to school at all. Study something with a lucrative future in it, like computers, nursing, or just drop out and run a Caterpillar D9 at a construction site.

So are you her or not? :biggrin: I remember your first words "Hi, my doctor put me on the pill, but not so I can have sex, it's just to regulate my cycle" Who says college is a waste of time.

Good God, that brings back memories... Pedro, you didn't also end up studying rocks at a SoCal State school as a goth girl with dyed red hair, did you?

Arnold: a waste of time? It definately was not, but not necessarily academically redeeming...

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: I love how we've projected the characteristics of the dumb bitches we banged in our past onto poor Pedro. Guy starts a college memory thread and becomes a composite of every bimbo hit by maggots over the years. (I'm supressing laughter so Mrs. Babar doesn't come in here to see what's so funny)

much love. i think all of these are HI-larious.

I remember (sort of) those WVU rugby parties, used to go down for the Annual Chicken Tourney when I played at Slippery Rock. There was something about empty kegs rolling down the hill and hitting parked cars, the rest was a blur.

Other memories, road trips, ski club trips, Keister road parties, Cops in full riot gear on spring weekend and using the tennis court as a temp jail.

Good Times, Good Times.

Haha!
another skier/rugger, always good to hear. i feel like there is a disproportianite number of us... must have something to do with the booze

Girlski & boarderline...I also went to UCSB for 2 years...before I transfered to Davis. Holee crap, lots of memories, some faded......

I must protect the innocent by not listing everything on this board... :D :o

I think the most classic one was this: I was on the swimming/diving team, so was my roommate freshman year. I had mono (another story...) and was sorta sleeping in my bunk. She walks in, with men's swim team captain in tow, and proceeds to give him a blow job while I'm in there. After she was done, she's like, "Wow, that only took 7 minutes this time!!" I nearly burst out in laughter...but I was "sleeping" so I didn't. I was intrigued...being the total virgin/church girl that I was. Oh, and by the way, anyone remember Jason Lezak - he swam the 50 free at this past olympics - yeah, that was him receiving said blow job!!

Loved freebirds at 4am...especially that one time when I came home from a rave with black snot in my nose from dancing on top of a mountain in the dust. Donald Glaude was the shit, though!

Oh, and I also remember this girl who I was "friends" with, who was on the water polo team, who totally picked up on me, took me to a Cure concert in L.A., and then invited me to a bunch of parties at her house - lots of girls there if I remember correctly - and I was oblivious to the whole thing! I thought she was just being nice!! My other gay friend Russell had to tell me she had a crush on me!

Then there's that time when I made out with a girl.....

And I'll always fondly remember the UC Davis men's cross country team running past the pool during practice with nothing but socks on their penises!!

jason leezak story ^^^- saw him in olympics - is fuckin hilarious!!

lots of good high school memories... not too much of anything too great yet since im in my first year at SDSU

(except for some kick its, trip to visit a bunch of friends in SB for halloween.. which goes off, shackin up with a buddy in squaw and skiing for 5 weeks between semesters and goin out to drink at Balboa, Bar One - and getting fucked up watching "Walls of Freedom", Plumpjack, and the Chamy.. skiing was some of the best i ever had, and some trips to TJ - one of which resulted in getting in a brawl) (and cant be classified as memories since theyre happening now)

but im sure lots of good college memories await..... specially once i hit 21 - SD is such a 21 and over city...

Wait... he's a guy?? Now I feel very dirty... and used.... and curious.... Oh well... that's what college was for - experimentation!

Just for the record, the "dumb bitch" in question was hardly one at all... very nice, incredibly intelligent, just socially inept!

Oh yeah... another memory surfaced - something to do with celebrating the L.A. Kings making it into the Stanley Cup by getting rippin' drunk, taking melons, carving out the insides of the mellon to make helmets, and then surfing a life-sized stand-up carboard poster of Wayne Gretzky down my friend's stairs. (With the melon helmets on for protection, of course!)

Oh yeah... there was also the incident on top of Kelso Sand Dunes, where I got stoned with the assistant professor at midnight. It was the same weekend that this picture was taken:

http://www.skilovers.com/gallery/midski.jpg


I was also witness to the following conversation in the middle of the Mojave Desert on a school field trip:

Geo professor: "Why is the state vehicle covered in mud?"
Idiot student (not me): "I dunno, but it wasn't us doing donuts in the mudflats on the dry lakebed while on our beer run out to Baker! Uh-uh, wasn't that!"

Good times, good times!

Some other college memories:

• My friend's band was the last to play ever at the on-campus bar. The band was crappy, but was popular because they were violent on stage, and tended to mess things up. The crowd at the bar turned over all the tables and chairs, effectively shutting down live music at the bar forever.
  
• Seeing Pancho Sanchez, Fishbone, and numerous bands when they were totally unknown (like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 7Mary3 and Incubus) live for free during the noon concerts.
  
• Getting college credits for watching movies, whitewater rafting, and taking karate lessons!
  
• Hoarking a buddy's clothes during a geology field trip, when he stayed in the hot springs a little longer then the rest of us, and making him walk back to camp stark naked!
  
• Pulling a Red Flyer wagon full of cheap beer from the grocery store at something like 4 in the morning because everyone was too wasted to drive, and then loosing 1/2 of it when Keith Richards (that was really his name) lost control of it, and it went down the curb and flipped over.

credits for listening to music!!!

I took Karate in college as well. I was able to fulfill my gym requirement with something I was doing anyway. Hell you could get a credit for just about anything. My freshman year roommate got a credit for rollerskating. I knew someone that got a credit for quiting smoking.
