Hola. I bring you EAP greetings for the last time. It's been a great ride. One with lots of ups, even more downs, and something interesting around every turn. Before I start, I'd like to thank everyone for reading. This includes Gators, Tigers, Gamecocks, LEADers, FBLA people, CU Ambassadors, people I used to know, people who stalk me, and my sister. Without you guys not only could I not vent when need be, but who would I be able to shamelessly stroke my ego in front of?

One time waaaay back in the beginning of the EAP I once wrote there's nothing worse than seeing a man settle. I might have to eat my words on this one. Hearing about a girl deciding to just settle is a lot worse (and if you think I'm talking about you, I'm not, but if I am talking about you, then I am). It's damn near pitiful. When a guy settles, its like "well at least he's getting "something" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) out of the deal." I don't even think girls get that much out of it. Well they probably do, but you can tell that's not all they want from it. They sell themselves short to either a) fill a void, b) get attention, or c) do both. Sweetheart, if you think you can do better than him, then guess what…you're right.

If I had one regret about leaving Clemson in 2004 instead of in 2005, it wouldn't be the fact that I could drink legally. That's the least of my concerns. It'd be the brand-spankin'-new ACC. That jump from 9 teams to 12 is gonna be a kick in the balls for a lot of teams. Especially when 2 of the new kids are the University of Miami and Virginia Tech. Almost overnight the ACC went from being a conference that prides itself on basketball season to one that is going to make a serious amount of noise come football and baseball season. I do know one thing though. Unless Clemson miraculously improves, they're straight up fucked next football season. Texas A&M, Miami, Florida State, NC State, Maryland, and instate rival South Carolina. Wow. With a schedule like that it's either gonna be a rough time to be a Tiger fan or a great time. (Yeah, I wrote this before that 26-10 win over Florida State. Looks like we're getting
better.)
Random Question: If a Buddy List is for your buddies, why do people find it strange when people I don't associate myself with aren't on there anymore?

Since this EAP is way before graduation and this is the last one, I might as well mention this now. I'm scared. For the first time in my life, I have no clue what lies ahead. This bothers me. I don't have any idea where I will be working. Where I will be living. What type of money I will be bringing in. When or where I will decide on going to grad school. No clue on anything. And the worst part about all of this is that I highly doubt I can do like I did with my college search and just play it by ear. Well, I could, but I'd rather not. This time next year could be real interesting. Hell, who knows, things might be going so good (or bad) that the EAP gets resurrected (I'm a wrestling fan, retirement is only guaranteed for 6 months J).

Surprisingly, the one thing not bothering me is making friends. I adjusted well in middle & high school, did great with FBLA and LEAD (considering the limited time I had there) and I did DAMN well once I got to Clemson (that's saying I have awesome friends). I am a little concerned about keeping in touch with the old hotness once we walk across the stage - but I think it'll be okay. I don't see anyone changing their AIM screen names or their cell phone numbers anytime soon.

Guys are interesting. As of lately, long as a girl isn't in diapers or using a walker to get around, she's fair game. Yeah, most of us are mildly getting into pedophilia and give us some time necrophilia will probably become fashionable. Since I can feel the confused looks, lemme explain a little. Madonna - doable. Olsen Twins - doable. One's a mom, the other(s) don't even have fully developed breasts yet. More examples you ask? Demi Moore - I'd fill out her social security forms. Hillary Duff - I know people who would drink her bath water. Stifler's Mom - she started this whole MILF thing (event though she's not hot at all). Raven Simone - I feel guilty for watching Cosby Show reruns now. Stacey - she's a hottie. Stacey's Mom - yep. She can get it.
