Top 10 Things College Kids Love

So now that summer is coming to an end and my classes have started up again, I've been slacking pretty badly at updating this blog. I apologize to whoever actually reads this, and I will do my best to update it whenever I get a chance. Anyway, to add on to my laziness...here is my poor excuse at an update. I say that because this is actually a list that I compiled last year and posted on Facebook, but in spirit of people going back to college or perhaps attending college for the first time...here is a revisit at my list of the "Top 10 Things That College Kids Love":

10. The North Face

- The college kid's favorite way to stay warm while staying stylish.

9. Bikes

- The fastest way to get to class...but beware of collisions.

8. Radiohead

- Music that [almost] ALL college kids can agree on (Honorable mentions: Sufjan Stevens and Death Cab for Cutie)

7. Drinking Games

- Beer pong, flippy cups, circle of death, etc...Drinking beer just got FUN!

6. Fast food

- Apparently fast food tastes betters when you are drunk.

5. Cheap beer

- Natural Light, Busch Light, Keystone, etc. (The cheapest way to get drunk)

4. iPods

- Everyone's got one...Nothing's better than listening to your favorite tunes on your way to class.

3. Coffee

- Need to stay up late to write a paper, but you don't wanna be dead tired during all your classes tomorrow? No problem...just pick up a coffee at the near by Starbucks and you are good to go.

2. Fancy Cell Phones

- Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in a giant cell phone commercial. Everyone is up to date with the coolest new phones...and they are ALWAYS using them.

1. Facebook

- The ultimate distraction...why do your homework when you can look at 80 pictures of people you don't even talk to getting wasted and making fools of themselves??
