college students, why are you on HSL?

<p>I am because I have no life.
But what about you guys?
Why do you spend your time on HSL?
Why don't you go socialize with others?
Don't you have dormmates to talk to?
Why are you on HSL?
Why?</p>

<p>I just like to try and live vicariously through this forum. High School was, hands down, the greatest time of my life.</p>

<p>

We know. </p>

<p>

Good form of procrastination. I’ve only recently come back to HSL and I will leave again shortly. </p>

<p>

See above. </p>

<p>

I do. But they are not awake at 2:40 AM.</p>

<p>

Yes, but see above. </p>

<p>

Because I am doing a paper on The Great Gatsby and can’t come up with ideas so I’m thinking and browsing at the same time. </p>

<p>

Cause I can.</p>

<p>Because HSL is the de facto non-parent cafe</p>

<p>^ Congratz on your post count. L0ser</p>

<p>^ To whom are you speaking?</p>

<p>Probably me, since I’m right on 1900 at the moment, most of which were, ironically, serious posts.</p>

<p>Ah, I thought I was at 4020 (420)… a semi-funny number. I didn’t realize I had gone over.</p>

<p>I learn all sorts of stuff from HSL. I never knew 420 had any significance before.</p>

<p>^ Before just now?!</p>

<p>Yes
Amazed by my ignorance? :)</p>

<p>I learned that in 10th grade I think. Actually more likely 9th, but I don’t think I knew anyone at the time that <em>participated</em> in the event.</p>

<p>My dad taught me what it was in about 7th grade to explain why my mom was going on a long weekend away with her girlfriends…</p>

<p>lol wow. There was actually a discussion of it in the parent forum that I read last year. I was surprised how many seemed to know about it and how far back its roots went.</p>

<p>Lol, well you must understand my parents are both pot heads (dad not really anymore- he’ll only smoke ~ once a year. Mom can’t really function without weed). </p>

<p>So 420 was always known about in my household lol. </p>

<p>As my dad says “I experimented with weed when I was younger. I’ve been experimenting for 30 years.”</p>

<p>Smoking weed is bad… :(</p>

<p>I’m on here because I have no life and I lack the maturity to socialize with people my own age.</p>

<p>^ I really really like you.</p>

<p>Honestly, marijuana should be legalized.</p>

<p>^^^ Yet tobacco and alcohol are used much more. Cannabis actually is not that bad of a drug unless used very often (then again any type of drug overdose is bad). Drinking a beer is much more damaging than smoking a joint believe it or not.</p>

<p>On topic: I used to only come on here to check on info for colleges. Chance threads, acceptance threads, what classes to take, etc. Now I come on here occasionally when I’m procrastinating homework or something of that sort. Main reason I use CC is still for academic advice/guidance though.</p>

<p>Smoking weed is not bad. If one becomes addicted to the high (re: the HIGH since you cannot become addicted to the substance) then it is bad. I do not smoke weed because I have an addictive personality, but people should be free to do what they want. I’d much rather someone smoke a joint rather than a cigarette in a purely health-related way.</p>
