Have you ever gone to College???

ESPN.com: Page 2 : Fountain of youth Jim Caple the author of the column linked to above is expereincing college as he says it in the Modern age. Over the next 3 weeks he will be a college student again. Drinking, studying, working on a school paper. This got me to thinking, if I could go back to college and do it all over again would I change anything. My answer is simply no way. I loved my college life, my roommates, and everything about college. I wasn't the smartest, the best dresser, the best looking, but I can guarentee you I had more fun then anyone. I had my friends from home visit me from time to time and they blended in, which made it all the more merrier.

One thing from the article stood out to me, Jim's following Line "That's the thing about college roommates, though. They could never remember their long-distance calls when the phone bill arrived a month later, but they stay with you decades after the stench of sour milk and rotten vegetables finally dissipates from the communal refrigerator."

For the most part I speak to my college rommates on a regular basis, some more then others. They are all characters in so many different ways and for those of you who ever get a chance to meet them you probably would think they were rude, crude or socially untolerable. But thats whats so much fun about them.
