We go through different phases in life. And out of all of them, perhaps the one we remember the most fondly is college life. You get to feel, see and experience hundreds of new things for the first time. You make friends for life and memories to last a life-time. And when you look back at this time 10 years on, al you want to do is rewind time and live it all over again.
Now, you don't get screamed at for staying out late or staying over at a friend's place. Mostly.
You find your own comfort zone and those that that share it. With those people, you share a bond that will last a life-time.
