I began college back in 2010. Although I was a decent student I must admit the most enjoyable things about my college years were the non-academic stuff. I met many nice people and developed rewarding relationships. Some of them are still friends to this day. We probably played more games than we should have back then.
I joined the theater club and had great fun rehearsing and performing in a few plays. I even went off campus and did some community theater shows. I was never any good at singing or dancing or even memorizing my lines, but it was still a wonderful experience.
My school was connected to the early Internet. I asked for a computer account and was given one. And thus started my first years on the Internet. Back then it was only green text on a black screen. A couple dozen message boards and an email client. Still though, I could do hours a day on it.
