Date: February 7th, 2009 11:31 PM Author: Fragrant Station I don't/can't just go to the bar and fuck randoms . . . Since the average number of sexual partners for a man in his lifetime is 7, I think sleeping with 10 different people in your 20s is reasonable.

Worked out in hs, got me the weight lifting and girls one. Got an internship after freshman year by networking my ass off got me enough money to go to the sporting event. |

No one is from a lower middle class family. |

Kind of like how I have:
1) Fucked a chubby girl from American I met at Big Hunt.
2) Fucked Marisa Miller on the moon with trumpets. |

Date: February 7th, 2009 11:29 PM Author: Fragrant Station You got such a high-paying internship after your freshman year that you were able to attend "several" of the Super Bowl, World Series, Olympics and World Cup? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879090) |

|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:35 PM Author: Fragrant Station It's cool . . . I don't know that it's advisable to settle down in your 20s . . . think about it, you have your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s to be with one woman.
I've got most of my career/academic stuff on lock (assuming biglaw doesn't collapse). |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:36 PM Author: Bat-shit-crazy Plum Dilemma That's true. I'm mainly focusing on career shit right now and haven't thought about much else long-term. I'm at a non-target and trying to get into finance in this shit economy, so it's rough. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879132) |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:39 PM Author: Fragrant Station I went to a regional private school for undergrad, so I know next to nothing about finance . . . I never have respected finance people though . . . it seemed/seems that no one really knows what they're doing/can predict the market with any accuracy and you have enough people that try, some are bound to get lucky and hit it right.

|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:38 PM Author: Bateful apoplectic degenerate My goals wouldn't involve events like that. things like the super bowl or the running of the bulls are probably underwhelming. I guess I'd focus on long-term goals. eg, write a book, develop lasting friendships, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879145) |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:42 PM Author: Fragrant Station Writing a book would be a good one . . .
I've been best friends with the same group of guys for about 12 years now, so I'm pretty good as far as the lasting friends things go.
Talking to my dad more is something I should try to do as well. |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:45 PM Author: Bateful apoplectic degenerate Yeah, connecting with aging parents is a good goal. I imagine that once you start your own family it's even harder to find quality time to spend with your folks (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879184) |

Date: February 7th, 2009 11:44 PM Author: Bat-shit-crazy Plum Dilemma There's something to be said about seeing your team win the big game... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879183) |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:45 PM Author: Fragrant Station I'm from a small market, so if my team(s) EVER make it to the superbowl or world series I will be there.
I've spent some time in Europe, so I bet the World Cup would be insane. I loved London when I was there, so I bet the 2012 olympics will rock. |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:48 PM Author: Bateful apoplectic degenerate I'm sure that seeing your team win a WS game would be amazing.
The SB sounds lame, with the security forcing you to arrive early, the long halftime show, the dead fans and neutral site...
Watching the US play a WC game would probably be fun though. |
|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:49 PM Author: Fragrant Station I love being a thoughtful jingoist . . . it drove the Europeans I hung out with nuts/ultimately made them respect America more.
I would love to see the US kick ass in the WC . . . so awesome. |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:09 AM Author: Bat-shit-crazy Plum Dilemma The one I did was see my team win a WS game. They didn't win the series though. *gets outed* (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879275) |

|
Date: February 7th, 2009 11:53 PM Author: Fragrant Station Fair point . . . I weigh 180 and can do 150 3x right now (I'm 3 weeks into my program).
My deadlift/squats are totally underdeveloped, so I'm really going to work on those.
I used to be a really good runner, so I'm not explosive/strong, so I'm trying to fix that. |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:15 AM Author: Heady haunting deer antler bench isn't really all that relevant to how well someone can fight. Your goal should be 225 lbs. It won't be too hard to get there with some effort even with your running background. 150 3x projects pretty close to 180, btw. I'd say 165-180 max. |

Date: February 7th, 2009 11:18 PM Author: adventurous juggernaut roommate I hope my bucket list for my twenties was:
1. Drink
2. Constantly.
3. Do drugs.
4. Reapeat 1, 2, and 3, until you forget everything.
5. Wake up one morning a 30 year-old married lawyer having no idea how that happened. |

Date: February 7th, 2009 11:57 PM Author: Fragrant Station I admit that I'm too much of a pussy to instigate a non-sanctioned fight. Too much of a risk of them using a weapon, one of us taking it too far, one of us getting arrested. I can't fuck up my life like that.

Date: February 8th, 2009 12:03 AM Author: Sickened haunted graveyard menage 1. learn a language and be nearly fluent/proficient 2. run a marathon 3. see a green sunset (more of a lifetime goal)/ see the northern lights 4. travel to all continents 5. road trip across america 6. sky dive, bungee jump, etc.
|
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:04 AM Author: Fragrant Station Good list . . .
To me, running a marathon is not impressive . . . it just takes some discipline.
For a guy, running a marathon under 3:30 is the acceptable/worthwhile standard.
Also, learning an additional language is fucking hard, especially in your 20s . . . and it just gets harder as you get older. |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:06 AM Author: Sickened haunted graveyard menage yeah, I was thinking ironman triatholon or something more challenging (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879261) |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 1:38 AM Author: Fragrant Station Ironman would be sick . . .
I just know too many chubby girls that have "completed" a marathon in like 4:50 . . . it's really not impressive. |

|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:18 AM Author: Heady haunting deer antler almost everything on a bucket list requires discipline and almost everything requires less discipline than what is required to run a marathon under 4 hrs (for most people). As a runner, you might be able to run a marathon under 4 hrs with month of training. Most can't. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879302) |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 1:39 AM Author: Fragrant Station I'm in decent shape (recently ran a sub 20:00 5k) and sincerely believe if I went out tomorrow, I could gut out a marathon in around 4:00.
I base this belief on my friend who is in slightly better shape than me (but, I'm a better runner, as in I'd win if we were both in peak shape) ran a marathon without specifically training for it. . . he ran it in 3:50. Granted, his joints were dead the next few days, but he did it. |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:06 AM Author: Irradiated copper gas station all of that shit is common. do these before 30 and you'll be teh prestige: 1) complete 3 degrees, pass bar exam 2) do 1L BIGLAW, 2L BIGLAW, work in BIGLAW 3) smoke a Cuban cigar while drinking 25yo single malt scotch 4) fuck a girl 10 years younger than you 5) receive some sort of formal military training 6) play the Star Spangled Banner, start to finish, on electric guitar without mistake
|
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 1:37 AM Author: Fragrant Station 1. I will have completed 2 degrees (BA, JD) . . . don't really see a need for another (although I've always thought about philosophy or math)
2. I did work 1L Biglaw, 2L Biglaw (and will work in biglaw after clerking)
3. Good one
4. That's terrible illegal and would be for most of my 20s
5. Agreed
6. I'm already a pretty decent musician (although not guitar)
|
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 12:16 AM Author: Sickened haunted graveyard menage I would make a list of lifetime goals and try to do as many as possible. probably pick the more physical ones for now since you're in your prime (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=929627&forum_id=2#10879293) |
|
Date: February 8th, 2009 3:12 AM Author: excitant internet-worthy den I guess since I'm turning 29 in May, I'll have to make this a bucket list for my 30s.
1) Meet a good guy, get married and stay that way.
2) Run a sub-3 hour marathon (I currently run 3:04 so it's not at all a stretch). I suppose if I have 10 years to do it I'll just throw it out there and say I'd like to break 2:48 and qualify for U.S Olympic Trials, which would certainly make me the prestige and might help with #1.
3) Write a book (I have a few ideas)
4) Start a business (I have a few ideas)
5) Start re-discovering hobbies that I did in my youth, but discarded along the way (swimming, violin, equestrian events)
6) Be a better daughter and get to know my parents more in their old age despite how I often think we have nothing in common. Making a point to go home more will be a large part of this.
7) Stop being so talkative and verbal with my opinions about people and things (which might help with #1, according to my mother).
8) Stop being so hard on myself when I do something that requires me to later apologize
9) Learn how to grill as well as my dad does
10) Learn more about my family's history and the stories of my grandparents on both sides.
11) Travel to certain places that I find interesting (Burma, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Oman, Galapagos Islands, Antarctica). |
