When I was young and ignorant (as opposed to my present day being a couple of years older and still ignorant), I had this ideal fantasy of what college would be like. I used all the cliches: goateed guitar players wearing hemp jewelery singing against authority, coffee carrying (even though I don't drink coffee), discussing what Faulkner meant with his particular word choice in this sentence (even though I've never read Faulkner)...
Instead, here is a transcript of a conversation I had halfway through my undergraduate career:
(on phone)
Me:*says the 5000 Family Guy quote of the conversation*
Joe: *laughs*
Me: Ahhh Family Guy. We never quote Family Guy. We should start quoting it more.
Joe:By more you mean every second as opposed to the every other second we quote it now?
Me:Exactly. In fact, everything we say from now on should just be lines from Family Guy.

Also!
Me: Ya know, if I was better with my hands and had more artistic skill, I'd want to be a plastic surgeon.
You still get the prestige of saying you're a doctor, you're not under as much pressure as like an ER doctor...I mean there's risks anytime anyone goes under the knife but still, you're not on call constantly and you get a shitload of money.
Joe: Yeah but you also have to pay a shitload of malpractice insurance because ohhhh no miss rich bitch doesn't like her nose job.
Sarah: So? You still make a lot of money and I'd still want to do it.
Joe: The only reason you want to be a plastic surgeon is because you think you'll magically meet Dr. Troy.

He's my best friend because HE WAS TOTALLY TOTALLY RIGHT
