If I could be any age again. . .

Now they're asking me what I would choose, if I could be any age again.

It's a tough call, but I'm going to pick 18 or 19.

That was my Freshman and Sophmore year at SUNY-New Paltz, and boy was life more fun then. I lived in a "residence hall", (which for those who don't know is a politically correct name for a dormitory). I ate all that wondrfully greasy cafeteria food. I went to a few classes a day, and when I wasn't studying, I was loafing, listening to music, hanging around the food court and sometimes getting drunk. I also was a member of a club called SCUM. That stood for Student Coalition for Universal Medievalism, which would get togetheter on weekends and renact the medieval things. It was awesome.

Of course, I eventually became a Junior and then a Senior in College, but that wasn't as good, because the courses became more difficult and time consuming, but all in all, it was good times.

You know, sometimes people look back at life and say, "What advice would you want to give your younger self?"

Honestly, nothing. Except maybe, "Try to have more fun! But I'm not sure that's possible."
