I picked out the least-smelly outfit from the pile of clothes that had been building up on my floor for the past two weeks. I looked in the mirror after dressing and noticed a rather grim figure staring back. He had the couch- potato ' s slouch, and was uncombed, unshaven, and unironed. In short, he was a mess. I smiled at him and he, like most reflections, mimicked me. I got my books together for another typical day of classes and poor Michigan weather, and thought as I walked out the door to class, When do I graduate?! My first class, Ice Ages And You, was so unusually boring that I was forced to do the cross- word three times. After that, there was still time to kill, so I had no recourse but to continue my sleep while the professor droned on. I had a strange dream that included a stegosaurus, a catcher ' s mitt, and my Aunt Martha. I awoke in a cold sweat and noticed that I was the only one left in the classroom. After my classes were done (somehow they seemed all the same go figure) , I walked home in the rain groggy from too much sleep, and almost got run over by the commuter bus. Instead, it splashed muddy water on me. I wasn ' t upset, though, because a sudden hun- ger enveloped my person. I knew only one thing would cure it Jeno ' s Pizza Rolls. I rushed home, cooked them expertly, and sat down to watch television. I had entered a black hole of no escape. The television vacuum began with The Brady Bunch, and be followed by hours of meaningless sitcoms and MTV videos. Then it was Cheers and Seinfeld, a few hours of Nick-at-Nite, and a late-night presentation of Caddyshac c. I decided that homework wasn ' t a viable option, and sat back like I had so many times before to enjoy some tube. I was indeed a perfect picture resting quite comfort- ably on the couch, eyes glued to the Greg-as- the-new-Johnny-Bravo episode, and pizza roll upon pizza roll on a plate within arm ' s reach. I sighed contentedly and said, University life you can ' t beat it with a stick. Grey Emmanuel College was a time to learn the important things of living away from home, such as running an efficient house- hold. Here we see why we all really need our mommies and daddies .
