I’m no longer twenty one. It’s March. I graduate in May
Holy shit, real life, slow down
My thoughts exactly as I was walking home tonight. Wasn’t freshman year like… yesterday?

Oh, the irony...
I’m not stupid. I know that “social” fraternities and sororities have a stigma that says they haze.
When I join AXΩ, there was zero hazing whatsoever. Yup, just like they say. In fact, two of my roommates are in two other sororities on campus, and they had similar, haze-free experiences.
Now, a 4th roommate is joining the business fraternity on campus, and apparently they have...

It's official.
My biggest pet peeve isn’t “people who don’t use their blinkers”; it’s “people who don’t have personal responsibility.”
This is your life. You make your own decisions, so you have to accept the consequences.
The beginnings of the American Revolution,...
BRITISH EMPIRE: All right, fine, your stupid embargo worked. We won’t levy any more taxes-
AMERICAN COLONIES: Huzzah! Time to get drunk!
BRITISH EMPIRE: Except on tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: What?
BRITISH EMPIRE: Get over it, it’s just tea. Seriously, where do you get this idea that you’re special and should never have to pay taxes? We hope that idea doesn’t go on to infect your political discourse centuries from now.
AMERICAN COLONIES: We’re not buying your stupid tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Are you being serious right now? What are you going to do, just stop drinking tea?
AMERICAN COLONIES: Yes. We’ll drink coffee.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do you even know what that is?
AMERICAN COLONIES: No, but we’ve heard it’s good and we’re feeling surly.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Fine, whatever, we don’t even care what you do anymore.
BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY: Actually, we are pretty much bankrupt, so you need to make them drink the tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Oh, for—just drink the tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: No.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: NO.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: Fuck you.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it or we’ll punch you in the face.
AMERICAN COLONIES: *Boston Tea Party*
BRITISH EMPIRE: What the hell?
AMERICAN COLONIES: We heard it was Indians.
BRITISH EMPIRE: That’s interesting, because we heard it was a bunch of colonists wearing paint and dressed in costumes that were remarkably similar to what a crowd of drunks who wanted to look like Indians would assemble if the only supplies they had were found in an alley behind a bar.
AMERICAN COLONIES: You get all types in Boston.
BRITISH EMPIRE: …*Coercive Acts*
AMERICAN COLONIES: Oh, it is ON.

A fun little exchange with my friend Tyler and me... Long, but worth it.
Tyler: Done with meeting. Applebee's? [as in, for $5 pitchers to split while we study.]
Lauren: Wow that was long. We can do that or if you wanna save money, I have a 6 pack of Fat Tire?
Tyler: Joining the GPhis for drinks at the 'Bees right now. I won't be long. Gotta take the drinks with 20 sorority girls when you can, you guys...
Lauren: Really gotta keep the celebraish goin'. Foundin' Fathers would be offended if we didn't have drinks with some cougs.
Tyler: Peanut got upset that Nordeast didn't count toward 5 dollar pitchers. Said he was gonna come back drunk and do the helicopter with his peener. Really hopin' he cools down.
Lauren: The 'Bees just can't compete with an establishment like BDubs. Really lookin' forward to Wing Wednesday with Dave. Such bold flavors. They'd never pull that garbage. Real classy joint. Treat ya with respect and have tastes for all kinds.
Tyler: Bad memories at BDubs, you guys. Went with Honcho and Nosey for staff meeting once, got drunk and vom'ed on the waitress. Honcho convered it for me, said it was the wing sauce. Life's all about finding a good boss, you guys.
Lauren: Really jazzed to introduce the Honcho to 'Mericaritas tomorrow. Jim Beam & Squirt. Nothin' beats the exotic flavors for the fellas down South with the pride of the motherland. Nosey Lady won't 'preciate it. Probably a Communist.
Tyler: Satellite TV went out at 'Bees from snow. Real steamed. Wanted to see the T-Wolves get to .500. Gonna try to complain to manager for free drinks. Life's all about arguments, you guys. Gotta do the P-Day celebraish the right way. (Btw I'm definitely gonna want to keep the drinks going after I leave here in a bit.)
Lauren: No worries, bro. Been drinkin' wine already. Tons of antioxidants. Just as important as the protein from the loaded 'chos from the 'Bees. Gotta stay youthful, you guys.

I’m studying at a coffee shop right now and a guy-I-had-a-thing-with-right-before-he-got-his-girlfriend’s girlfriend is here. I know who she is, and I can’t tell if she knows who I am, but she’s sitting at the table next to me and we made awkward eye contact. So I think she does.
Welp.

Solution: Finish this bottle of wine. Empty bottle is now my vase.
