How was it being at your first homecoming as a graduate?

Being at my first Homecoming as a graduate was good and bad. Good because it was homecoming, bad because I was a graduate. I went ahead and got college drunk though, so that was good.

How often to people make jokes about you being “The Freshman”?

People talk to me every once in a while about being an internet sensation, but it’s died off a little bit since school which is nice since having a conversation that goes like this:
“Hey! You’re that guy!”
“Yep. I sure am.”
“Sick! Nice meeting you.”
was getting really old.
I’m thinking that at some point down the road it’s going to come up again to bite me in the ass, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

What’s your favorite meme of yourself?

My favorite meme is one of the ones where it’s the old picture and the new picture on top of one another and the caption says “Hasn’t Moved In Four Years”… For someone to think that was the case is hilarious. Not possible, but hilarious.

I wish EVERY DAY that I could go back to freshman year. I have met probably 3 people in my life that don’t want to go back to freshman year, and they didn’t have friends. And I didn’t like them. So yeah, I wouldn’t mind going back.

Your advice to underclass…

Advice for underclassmen or underclasswomen: Don’t ever use fatigue as an excuse to not go out. If you’re tired, sleep through class. It worked for me.
