In college I had a ritual.
I lived on campus at Ohio State for most of my time there. It's not like there weren't other options, but truth be told I really just wanted the convenience of being able to stumble to class in under ten minutes without having to give a whole lot of thought to basic things like transportation or hygiene.
The real appeal to living on campus, however, were college football Saturdays. Some coeds ingest heroic amounts of coffee to get their brains working, some partake in various illegal substances, but me? All I needed was a crisp fall day on campus as thousands of people in various states of intoxication screaming incomprehensible gibberish mere feet from my window.
