My 18 year old son is headed to college this fall.
Being the organized person that he is (this proves that “the apple CAN fall far from the tree”),  he got the college checklist of necessary items from target, and began reading the list off.

“Gaming station”, stood out in my mind as one of the most important necessities for college. “Toilet brush” was probably second.

“Hey, Dad,” Caleb mused, “They don’t even have pencils on the list.”

“How about paper?” I inquired.

“Nope.”

“Little multicolored erasers that you put on your pencil?”

“Not that, either.”

All told, there were 5 different devices listed which are used for entertainment.

College sure has changed since I was there. For our entertainment, we played Round Robin ping pong until the Resident Assistant shut us down around midnight. Then we sat up ‘till 2 am solving all of the world’s problems. Then the troublemakers in the dorm would get drunk, and throw Chinese Throwing Stars at the drywall until 4 am.

If I need to go back to college for another degree, I’m gonna have to buy a lot of batteries.
