33. The freshman 15 is NOT a myth!!!

Call me ignorant, but what's freshman 15?

The freshman 15 are the 15 pounds that you gain during your freshman year. somepeople call it the freshman 10 or the freshman 20, but that just depends on how optomistic/pessimistic thier being.

7: Squirt gun = stress relief So true. So do small bouncy balls. Who needs maturity?

I hate college football...sure, the wildness of it all is great, the actual games...not so great. So, really, I don't like football. Although I do enjoy a round of two-touch. Mainly because when we played it in Athletics I got two interceptions! Yay! As in, I was the one who intercepted the ball. Not the other way around. So I felt pretty good...

Oh, and just a side note:
I hope I get into a good college. I know I'm not THAT smart to be in a University unless I transfer, but I'm hoping to go to Austin. That's a real cool city. City, right? Anyways, I know some super smart people and they didn't even go to a University. They just went to a normal, down to earth, college. So, I don't feel so bad. They also graduated in the top five percent of our school.
