Things I Learned on a Lazy Sunday

Sundays are lovely days for randomness, and for leftover homework. They also do just fine for frisbee on the quad (now I am officially a college student), watching flag football games, making sexual innuendos, sharing embarassing encounters, discussing the merits/origins of various swear words, and just generally enjoying oneself. So, in the spirit of learning and new experiences and technology (which are really the roots of today's college education) this blog will (hopefully) be a detailed account of all the new things I learn living at college. to begin, todays lessons:

  • Simply looking like a celebrity is enough to get a good portion of campus talking about how you get laid every night.
  • The word 'shit' originated from an acronym used by sailors to ensure that loads of poop weren't placed below deck where they would explode.
  • I'm not the only one in the Honors College who enjoys a good sexual innuendo.
  • Swans make a pig-like snorting noise when angered.
  • The meaning of the term 'pocket pool.'
  • That one simple mistake, like confusing the term 'Islamic' with 'Arabic' will get you made fun of for a good ten minutes.
  • It takes a good eight refs to control a scrimige game of flag football.
  • "God Bless Ye Merry Gentlemen" is not as obscure of a Christmas carol as I once thought it was. "God Bless Ye Merry Hippogriffs" however, is still widely unknown.
  • There is such a very as 'raptor-ing' and it is one of the most delightful verbs I've ever experienced.
  • Some guys actually do put alot of thought into things like jewelery and flowers.
  • Triscuts are the most impossible food to stop eating, EVER.
  • That I should not try and sing in a school production, there are way more people with way more talent than me.
  • Never use the end shower, it floods and is awkward to subtly kick water out of the stall and into the drain.

I would have to say that about covers it for today, tomorrow (hopefully) more college wisdom. Until then: Live long and prosper.
