Things from the college experience that I haven't gotten to do yet but still will do before I'm out of this bitch:

1. Go drinking in Canada: I'm going to graduate and still be under 21, so why the hell not? But then again, it's not like I can't get liquored up here at someone's house party without even knowing them. That's why the college experience is so great.

2. Go to a Michigan Wolverines football game: I still haven't set foot inside the "Big House", and if I remember correctly that was one of the major reasons why I wanted to come here--besides the ex-boy of course. I should become the quintessential fan. That would shock everyone, even me.


3. Pull an all-nighter studying for an exam: Perhaps it's a testament to what kind of student I really am, but I have yet to do this. And I kind of feel guilty when I see others doing it when I'm not. Last night I studied from 2-4:30am and stayed up another hour after that, but that doesn't count. Perhaps if I had started this list earlier my gpa would have looked a bit better.


4. Go on a road trip: I either haven't had enough friends/time/transportation to do this at any one time. And maybe even if I had, my completely overbearing parents wouldn't have let me go, I'm sure. But I'll give them the b of the d--I am a lying little pischer. If I were them I would think I was going out to bang some guy too.


5. Hook up with some guy on a night out: Keep in mind, you slut-bashers, that hooking up does not entail sex. Hooking up can just be spending the whole night making out with someone I don't/barely know. And at this point in my life, that just sounds like a lot of fun.


6. Go on a date while in school: People are poor, but so what? A guy can scrape together $30 to take me to Potbelly's and a movie. And he would still get change back. What more could you ask for? Oh, well.. maybe a kiss goodnight would be in order.



I haven't felt restrained from doing all this, but I still want to. I want to milk as much as I can from this $120k experience that has earned me respect and also cost me much parental heartache (naturally).

I want to live and be free. Maybe this is echoing fleecey's post, but I can't wait for the freedom that people in relationships kinda take for granted. Yeah, being alone is sometimes lonely, but if you spend that time getting to know yourself and surrounding you with all kinds of kickass experiences, are you really worse off for being alone? Is it better to fester and rot in a relationship full of resentment just so you can theoretically have someone to kiss underneath the mistletoe on X-mas?

(the answer I'm looking for here is "NO".)


So newly-single life definitely has its ups and downs. But right now it's looking crazy good.
