College was a beautiful four years of your life, where you could be a pretty terrible person, yet it was acceptable because you were young and dumb. It was just a phase, like disobeying your parents, throwing temper tantrums at restaurants, or shitting your diapers. After those four years, you are expected to become a normal, functioning person in the world. Sometimes it’s not that easy for a good portion of our age group. Transitioning from a borderline alcoholic lunatic to a less exciting, responsible adult is a big swing in lifestyle, personality, and habits. In short, the college douche that you were may live on still.

Really taking a swipe at Grandex’s other sites, huh?
Way too many of those apply to me
Everyone either knows this person or was this person at some point. I had a friend who was pretty much exactly like this. He is 29….
Maybe the east coast eats bonito, but the Gulf Coast uses them for bait because we have an intact fishery with fish that are actually good to eat.
