  1. I kind of did the same thing. I put on about 10 pounds freshman year of college and I decided to eat a little healthier this summer. I lost about 15 pounds(now I only weigh 150, so I need to bulk up some, I went from being pudgy to being scrawny, but I'll worry about that when I get back to college and have gym access. I basically cut out soft drinks(I have like one a week maybe), and tried to get something healthier when I go get lunch after work. I was running for about 2 months, but I got my wisdom teeth off and had to take a week off and haven't started back. But I haven't put on any weight since I quit running, and it doesn't really bug me because I don't want to lose any more.

  2. Go Dawgs!

     

     

     

    Our first game was the sloppiest I've ever seen us play. However, the game last Saturday was my first as a student and probably the best live game I've ever seen.

     

     

     

    Beat Arkansas!

  4. I went yesterday and had an amazing time.

     

     

     

    Bands I saw:

     

     

     

    3oh!3-only band I didn't like, but my friend went solely for them so I went with her

     

    Underoath- Good show, pits got a little close for comfort and a bunch of "hardcore" dancers were ruining them

     

    Anti-Flag- Surprise performance of the day. I had only heard the name, but they were good although they were a little too politically charged for my usual liking.

     

    Senses Fail- My second favorite band who was playing. It was the second time I had seen them and they were just as good.

     

    A Day to Remember- I never knew exactly how popular these guys had become...the stage was packed. Very good performance but I was eating and stood way back away from everything. I also got a setlist when I moved to get to the front of the next show.

     

    Alexisonfire- My favorite band who was going to be there. I got like 10 feet from the band and although I was getting pushed against the rail and getting kicked by all the crowd surfers I had to catch, I got to experience one of the best live performances I have ever seen.

     

     

     

    I can see this being a yearly thing for me(at least through college)

  5. I am member of the Kappa Nu Chapter (Cornell University) of Phi Gamma Delta, commonly known as FIJI.

     

     

     

    If there's anything I can tell you that I'd hope you remember, it's that you should definitely rush. Rushing isn't a commitment- it's just a way to get to know some of the fraternities on campus on a more personal level in a way that parties don't allow and to have a [bleep]ing aweome week before the spring semester starts. If you don't find a fraternity with the right kind of people in it, then you don't have to join, simple as that. Rush week was a blast for me; we went to a casino the first night, got an Afroman concert right in the house the second (on which night I also smoked for the first time), and on the third night (invite only) there were strippers (interesting, but a little too dirty for anyone to really get into it). Other houses were fun too; Kappa Sig had a Beer Olympics, and two of my rush buds drank "Das Boot", 3 1/4 beers in a boot shaped glass, in about twenty seconds, and I owned at fat suit sumo wrestling. Overall it was a blast, and I would highly reccomend that you come to school a week early for it.

     

     

     

    As for pledging, I'm not gunna lie, it's tough and quite the time-eater (especially at an Ivy League where the work don't stop). But at the same time, I must agree with the label of pledging nationwide- "the most fun I never want to have again." If you do pledge, just remember, the brothers don't hate you nor are they sadistic (spare a few), they went through it too and they're there to make sure you get through it as much as they're there to make it tough. They also want to make you tight with your pledge bro's, and lemme say, it definitely succeeds in doing that. I had one brother going into pledging, and twenty three coming out.

     

     

     

    Oh, and have fun with Hell Week :D .

     

     

     

    (Oh, and SAE's pretty cool on Cornell's campus. I'd say they're in the A-range of fraternities (based on A-C grading).

    This is a very helpful post. I had ruled off the idea of joining a frat, but I went to orientation and went to a meeting about it and it seemed like something I may be interested in again. At UGA, you only move in a day early to rush anyway, so it's something I very well may do just to learn a little more about the Greek system.
  6. I don't have any advice on how to deal with it because I've never dealt with the loss of one of my friends(just grandparents, but they were expected.)

     

     

     

    But we've lost touch since our RS days, and I want you to know I'm sorry and thinking of you in this time.

  7. Here's just some of the classic albums(I'm still working on several myself)

     

     

     

    Nas: Illmatic

     

    Notorious BIG: Ready to Die

     

    Jay-Z: Reasonable Doubt

     

    2pac: Me Against the World, All Eyez on Me

     

    Eminem: Slim Shady LP, Marshall Matters LP

     

     

     

    There's several more, but that's what sticks out in my head.
