lived at home, drank alot, wrote alot of "term papers", recycled some of them for other classes, etc. it took me 5 years to graduate. freshman year, when i was still puny, some buddy of mine signed me up for a "bench press" competition to raise $ for one of the fraternities. i was a mere 125lbs at the time, but decided to gofor it. i benched 175lbs, and blew away alot of people. they couldn't believe i was that strong, and neither could i. that's when i started to get into lifting.
