Ah, yes, college girls. Is there anything that we miss more about college? When we look back at our college experience, most guys aren’t thinking about their chemistry professors. No, for most of us, our favorite college memories revolve around girls and alcohol…and not always in that order. I suppose football might also be part of the equation, but where I went to school, our football team once lost 54 games in a row and held the NCAA all-division record for consecutive losses for years…so we were left with girls and alcohol. Not such a bad compromise if you think about it.
Ah, memories…of course, college is a ways back in my rear-view mirror, and I’ve managed to filter out all of the bad experiences…as well as all of the nights where there’s a significant blank spot in my recollections of that evenings events. (I did WHAT? With WHO? OHMIGOD….) I can look back and chalk a few embarrassing episodes up to experience, but how much of a college education is really picked up in a classroom?
Isn’t it amazing how over the intervening years we conveniently forget the hangovers, the blackouts, and the desire to just curl up and die because you can’t believe you did what people are telling you that you did? And how many of us can drink and carouse now like we did then? Then again, how many of us would even want to?
