Ahhh, the first day of college. The smell of $400 textbooks, burnt out brains, and social desperation hang heavy in the air. Nobody's had a decent night of sleep in years and they're running on ramen noodles and that bag of clean laundry their mom's dropped off last week, but it's everything an 18 year old could dream of. Back then, none of us cared about 6-figures of debt– all we wanted was to do a keg stand one night and wake up the next morning to an A+ midterm. College was certainly quite the experience for everyone.

Whether it was good or bad was completely up to you. If you wanted to suffer, you could enroll in 4 classes a day starting at 8AM. If you wanted to coast by, you'd switch your major 14 times and finally land on Religious Studies. And if you worked your way through financially, you became a coffee jockey, a pizza delivery guy, or if you were lucky, a strung out TA. The university years shaped you and looking back, you definitely don't miss a few things– like being borderline malnourished and late nights at the library. But at the end of the day, college was really just an expensive summer camp for half-fledged adults with higher stakes... and beer.
