Don’t read this if you are going to send your kid to college.
I went on ANOTHER campus tour,
and discovered a deeply disturbing fact.
College provides rich opportunities for learning and enrichment, but…
Funny, this doesn’t look like studying.
I was shocked, appalled, and enraged
…because I wasn’t invited to play.
Apparently, I don’t look like a college sophomore any more.
I ran to the library and sobbed in the Medieval Literature section.
Seemed to be the place to go, since college boys think I’m 500 years old.
I wasn’t the only one crying into the wrinkled parchment of an ancient tome.
There were five other angry women in the aisle, cursing the cruel ravages of time.
We wiped off our blotchy faces, hoisted up our Spanx,and borrowed a copy of the Kama Sutra.
We carried the ancient tome out to the Quad and were quickly invited to a fraternity party.
Moral of the story: It pays to read classic literature…and wear Spanx.

What did you study in college?

Are you feeling old my friend? I believe I’m picking up some “subtle” hints. You need to go there wearing a baseball cap and a college sweatshirt. It will totally make you look younger. Just make sure it’s for the appropriate college. *wink*
OXOX,

Now I know why I never get invited to join frisbee games: I’m not carrying the right books. Or wearing Spanx. I should probably change one of those things.
True story: in college my friends and I would sometimes hold study sessions by yelling questions at each other while tossing a frisbee back and forth. To this day every time I see people playing frisbee I instantly remember half a dozen things about Greek mythology.
Also true: I have three frisbees in my office at work. I’ve never been able to get anybody to play with me, though. Maybe I should start wearing Spanx.

I studied boys. You must understand I grew up in the sticks, never went on a date until prom night, and went to college almost four hours away from home. Freedom!
Oh, maybe I shouldn’t have been so honest, what with you sending your daughter off in the fall, and all. Ooops…
Footnote: I did fine with my studies anyway. My REAL studies. And so will your girl
I agree with Kim… throw on a college hoodie, some jeans and a pair of UGGs and you will be GOLDEN! Anyone can pass for a college sophomore with that uniform on!
As for studying, I wish I had studied something useful that would help me get a job instead of studying what I found most interesting!

I don’t remember much of what I studied but I did my MRS.
