Successfully overcame my fears and managed to ask a really hot and smart girl on a date....



.... unfortunately, her stunning radiance melted my eyes, so I had to call it quits (and schedule an appointment with an ophthalmologist). But that success is still awesome and quite a confidence booster for other... pressing tasks.
 
Going to the state park near our school to watch a meteor shower with friends from my astronomy class.

It was super cold, so pressing together with the person I liked...:shy:

I don't know, nothing wild, it was just fun to be together and really beautiful.

But I also really had to pee and was too scared to go into the woods by myself, so that was unpleasant.
 
Walking out of an Ochem test friday afternoon with a friend and spontaneously deciding to drive 8 hours directly from the chemistry building to Mardi Gras. We lived in the car for 3 days and payed a random person to use their shower.
 
I have so many fond memories with friends it is hard to pinpoint the best one...

One that sticks out is last fall when a group of 10 of my friends and I went on a hike in the mountains. I was an experienced hiker, but my friends were not so it was fun to show them the area. Afterwards we all went back to my friend's apartment, cooked dinner together, and enjoyed some wine on his balcony with the trees in full color. Then we sat around, played cards, and complained about our feet. It is a very relaxing memory of mine.

Also, this semester has been a blast getting to travel all over the place to interview while seeing parts of the country I have never been to. Haven't traveled much in college otherwise unfortunately.
 
Also Fraternity pledging was amazing but I certainly dont want to do that again...Its amazingly stupid but I developed some very close bonds with some incredible people

Finding out one of my 22 microbiology lab students liked my class so much that he switched to a microbio major. So proud 😀 😀
 
Definitely spontaneous camping in places like Yosemite and along the west coast on the beach. Theres nothing like camping on a beach with a fire, good friends, and alcohol.. of course.
 
Winning the intramural 5 on 5 Basketball tournament with my fraternity brothers against our rival fraternity on campus. And we had come from a big deficit to win.
 
2 stick out:

Sailing with my best bud on a Catalina 26 to some desolate sand bar off the coast of Pensacola which we later found out was called "perdido key", finding a party boat docked there (turned out to be a UNF frat) and getting wasted w them.
Too many memories made that trip. I lost my iPhone and wallet and even still was the greatest trip in my life.

And the other one: signing up for the MCAT extemporaneously with another friend, and as an ultimate relaxation before we began studying, bought a cruise ticket to Mexico for 4 days. On that cruise, we met the sons of the owner of the Tampa Bay bucs. These two kids were absolutely wild; we were popping bottles of patron, belvedere, etc. going crazy. So much stupidity going on those 3 nights lol

@The Robe of Robes I dont understand the question

The best specific memory was playing beer pong against two New Orleans mounted police. They wagered us getting a ticket for the illegally parked, aforementioned car on beating us in a game of 6-cup. We won and saved $200😉
 
Getting to meet with a fluffy puppy on the way to my dorm.
Opening the window one beutiful afternoon and listening to one of the best playlists I ever created.
Missing the bus at 9 pm with my friend and having to walk 2 miles back on campus but joking the whole way to it.

I'm just amazed at how you spontaneously decided to do all of that. I'm more of a planner than I am a spontaneous person.
 
Watched a friend of mine walk into a glass door like a bird would fly into one on those Windex commercials.

There's probably better, but thinking about this always makes me laugh.
 
Dude the spontaneity is the best part youve gotta try it some time. Just say screw it and skip town for a few days. It is honestly the most liberating feeling...although doing so probably contributed to my 3.2 gpa...

Don't go into any type of job that's based on winning someone over.
 
Road trip to NOLA for St. Paddy's Day. Zero memory of the cabbage heads I caught or the beignets I apparently inhaled.
 
Junior year, staying up till 3AM with my suite mate making banana pancakes and rocking out to One Direction songs (lol don't make fun of me). We were randomly placed into the same suite, we didn't even know each other before that, but we became super good friends.
 
This one time when I was really drunk and found an extra large hot pizza. At the time, it did not bother me that it was in the garbage.
 
It seems like alcohol is a very common theme haha
 
waking up without my head hanging in a toilet staring at green lime vodka

Hot or cold, if it's pizza, I will eat it. Regarding the garbage part, you must have been experiencing a severe case of the drunk munchies.
 
Finding my identity/faith in Jesus Christ and being relinquished from my inner demons and to great degree, the praises and opines from mortals.
 
Bringing chicks into my BSL 2 lab ethanol-ing down that bench and pipette the day away !
 
Tbh it was all one big hazy blur filled with lots of books, babes, and beer-bongs ...god i miss it.
 
Discovering that my girlfriend had let her identical twin sister switch places with her early in an evening and not letting on that I knew until much much later.
 
I made it out alive. Went to class , worked a part-time job, studied in the library, volunteered at four different places, and worked at a research lab.

Add in the fact I am human and require sleep, my college experience was just hell. I plan to be a little active in med school to have some stuff on my resume for residencies, but even if I study all the time, at least it is just studying. I hated doing one bazillion activities. I didn't hate the activities at all, they were the highlight sometimes, I just hated doing them on top of everything else.
 
going on an alternative spring break trip to help with some house building...proceed to work 7-5, feast from 7-9, drink from 10-2, repeat for 7 days and still go above/beyond the goals highlighted by the sight supervisors. Needless to say my LFT's went through the damn roof.
 
Getting into college (i.e. my acceptance letter to my current alma mater). It went downhill from there. Meh.

Oh, and graduation. Obviously.
