Here's my conceit: we all have stories we tell about the crazy things we did in college…sometimes to show how cool/reckless we were, others to illustrate our lack of critical thinking skills at the time. But what about the things we DIDN'T do because we were idiots? Maybe I'm the only one with such a list. As a backdrop, I was pretty involved in campus life, cared a lot about and went to the football and basketball games, dated fairly regularly, etc. And I was a student in the mid to late 80s. Also, this is NOT a list of things I'm glad I didn't do (like Sing). Anyway, here's my list…

1. Never did the Baylor line as a freshman because I liked a girl who was not a freshman and I wanted to hang with an "older" crowd;
2. Didn't go to hear about the immortal 10 during Welcome Week. The one event I skipped;
3. Never got a Dr Pepper float. Not of great appeal to me (prefer each separately), but still…they were free;
4. Never went to George's, Cupps, Kitok's, or Healthcamp. Actually assumed the latter was a health food place and don't recall ever talking to anyone about it.

Anyone else with a similar idiot list?

Never went cliff jumping at Lake Whitney.

Didn't spend enough time exploring Cameron Park.

Got into cycling, but never brought my road bike to campus because I was too concerned with looking "uncool" in spandex while riding.

Never went to Scruff's. (I made up for this one many times as a recent graduate.)

Didn't go to the stargazing events my Astronomy 105 course put on out in the surrounding countryside. I guess I decided to value sleep on those three nights, and only those three nights.

Didn't develop solid study habits. This bit me in the ass when I went to graduate school.

Wow that is pretty crazy.

Any reason you never went to one of those places to eat?

Not getting Mickey Mantle's autograph when he was representing some insurance company and presenting the medals at a track meet. Instead, we stood there and talked about him being a washed up, alcoholic has-been.

The cliff jumping was ok… but we were there one time and some punk kids started yelling at us to dive….so I did! I should have clasped my hands together above my head ..but didn't … so nothing broke the water except my skull …. And I thought I had split it open! Had a headache for a day!

I declined membership in NOZE and Student Foundation. Some of my best friends and roommates populated both.

I thought my Chamber membership was adequate. Make no mistake, Chamber was the best thing that ever happened to me as far as BU is concerned, but augmenting it with either of the two coulda woulda been good stuff.
