Thanks for showing me the darker side of Tokyo and letting me wander the hooker district.

That Japanese chick was decent, Yuki I think. You should consider tapping it.

Yeah, Yuki is cute, but she is dating one of my friends.

Anon = MSI. If he were MSII he'd be studying for Step 1 and getting his a$$ kicked. I put in 8-12 hours per day for 6-8 weeks straight studying for Step 1 and I promised myself if I had to do it again, I'd quit. BTW I did Step 1 when it was on pencil and paper and 2 days long.

OTOH if all you want is family practice, bottoms up.

Totally understand the whole commuting thing, but a serious gf for all 4 years of undergrad?

****, I couldn't imagine that. And I'm a freshman.

I wonder if this is an instance of the friendship paradox:

Thankfully for the more mature of us, college won't be the highlight of your life... I for one have had the opportunity to travel a lot, and getting involved with a few girls overseas and having experiences there has been a lot more thrilling and self-fulfilling than hanging around some ****** apartments or dorm rooms in some college town getting wasted. That being said, as Listi pointed out, I did purposefully avoid that stuff and I'm sure it could have been fun. American culture stresses the college years as supposedly the most exciting time in your life, and colleges fabricate themselves on that premise (4 years for BA? c'mon)... since the assumption was you were married once you graduated. I can't imagine ever getting married, much less insulting that institution by then later reminiscing about my bachelor years as some sort of 'golden age.' I think most men have a desire to get a exploratory period of their life out of their system... if you can't do it in college, do it after, or do it forever like a prurient frenchman.
This may be one of my favorite posts of all time on this forum, even though I partook in the vices it identifies. The difference is I wholly regret the wasted years and should have spent more time enriching myself rather than my alcohol tolerance.
