I Used to Think That...
+Airplanes just knew where they were going and didn't talk to people on the ground. Later, when I learned that they "followed a pattern" or something like that, I thought that they wore special glasses and followed highways in the sky that the rest of us couldn't see.
+There was some major office that just... knew everything and orchestrated all events and bus routes and elections and apartment rentals and inventions.
+I would go to NYU, major in musical theatre, and eventually perform on Broadway. Then I realized I couldn't sing.
+I would follow a band on tour impulsively and become tight with them and live a nomadic life for a while with them. I still think that would be pretty cool. I just don't know which band.
+I could, one day, read every book. Then, when I found out that wasn't possible, I thought that I could one day read every book I wanted to.
+Love didn't exist.
+Making my parents hold hands would help set the mood for them to give me a sibling.
+The dog from those Bush's Baked Beans commercials actually kept the recipe with him.
+I would go to medical school and become a doctor.
+I wanted to be a pearl- and cardigan-wearing, nanny-hiring, Hamptons-vacationing, always made up, marrying into the New England socialite society type girl. Now I don't know what type of girl I want to be.
+One day, I would go to camp and meet my long lost brother or sister and my life would be complete. I begged my parents every year to send me to camp.
+Your hair was kept inside your head, and when it grew it was just coming out of your head.
+I would, one day, get a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
+Everything could be answered. If I asked a question that my parents couldn't answer, they were stupid.
+I would be President one day.
+I knew who I was.
+Things made of wood were carved from one giant piece of wood, not individual pieces put together.
+Everyone had a home.
+Well, I used to wonder why actors used different names when they were on screen. Like, wouldn't it be easier if they just went by their actual name all the time?
+I could do anything.
+When someone said they were an "inventor," they went to this center that had every part and tool you could imagine and it was just a BIG HUGE workshop where everyone invented things. It resembled a less colorful Santa's workshop.
+Movies were actually filmed where they were set.
+When the street lines got repainted, people drove a truck and there was a guy hanging out the back of it, putting his paintbrush on the ground regularly. I still don't know how they get there.

That Party Last Night
I'm woken up this morning by the buzzing sound of my phone vibrating against my dresser. I'm getting a call. It's 11 AM. I grumpily sit up and grab the phone.
"Mm'ello?"
"Hey, dude"
"What's up, Bo?"
"Well some family friends are coming over today. Could you like, clean up the room a little bit?"
"Umm..."
"Yeah like there's a cigar on my desk, and some beer cans... I just don't want them to see that stuff when they come over."
"Alright"
"Thanks dude."
Grumbling, I get out of bed. Last night, our room saw an impressive sequence of drinking games lasting long into the night; it was at least 2AM before the last guy stumbled out the door. Needless to say, "some beer cans" was a bit of an understatement. I got to work.
After some hasty gathering of the empty cans and various bottles and cups in the room it was time to take out the trash. I lumbered out of my room toward the trash room down the hall. In one hand I carried a large trash bag full of empty cans, in the other a cardboard "Coors" box full of more cans. I had on pajama pants, and no shirt. My chest proudly displayed the permanent-marker artwork of some girls on my floor: A heart with arrows pointing up toward my head and down toward my crotch.
As I trudged grumpily down the hall, from around the corner a student emerged. Accompanying him were his mother and four-year-old sister. We walked past each other without exchanging eye-contact.
I love college.

Shit
Shave
Shower
Problem solved.
