Each evening I watch The Big Bang Theory. Ok not every night.
There are many various reasons that people love this show. I love it because it reminds me of college. I went to Georgia Tech. If someone tries to tell you that Georgia Tech is not a nerd school, don’t believe them. While most schools have parties on friday and saturday nights, at Georgia Tech students study on friday and saturday night. Although, one time, I did see a guy having a pretend light saber battle with an imaginary friend on a friday night. He was having a wild party up in that head.
70 % of the school is male. Men studying engineering. Not surprisingly, women often came to Tech to get their MRS. degree. (AKA find a husband) I would say to those girls, sure the odds are good, but the goods are odd. Maybe you like them odd. In which case, you go girl.
Growing up everyone would tell me stories about how college was the best time of their life. I was determined not to be one of those people. Now that I have grown up myself, I see exactly what they mean. College was such a wonderful time. A time of growth, freedom, coming of age, and doing things you will regret in the morning. How can I not look back fondly on those days?
College I miss you, but not enough to be hungover. I think I will just watch The Big Bang Theory and pretend I am there.

Although nostalgia is to some degree human nature, there’s a very good reason people look back fondly on their college years. If done right, it’s the only time in your life when you have both the responsibilities and sense of judgement of a child, and the body of an adult. If you’re not looking back on it wistfully, you did something wrong.
I like that way of looking at it.
You are still surrounded by nerds!
Your nerdy friend,

I don’t know, those Big Bang guys get pretty crazy. They even order Thai food woo! Funny post 🙂
I know right, Thai food. If they start ordering Indian food all hell will break loose.
Funny observation and enjoyed. I would not consider myself a nerd, but I must say I’ve always been intrigued by them, which is probably why I LOVE the Big Bang Theory…opposites due attract you know.
I have heard that about opposites. Although my opposites never worked out.
We LOVE Big Bang Theory! And I’m not even afraid to admit that our son is quite similar to Sheldon. Ha!
I didn’t attend college…but I did meet my husband at one of his college parties. Therefore, I guess I could have good memories of “college”. 🙂
That totally counts.
“the odds are good, but the goods are odd”
Oh, so funny! I have a few friends who go to Georgia Tech, and almost every conversation involves the phrase “I’m going to die” which I contrast with the obnoxious freedom of an English major at UA. Plus side: they’ll have jobs!
The jobs are the big draw. We used to tell the Georgia fans “that’s alright, that’s ok, we will make more money than you some day” haha
I love that show. I’m a total geek and met and married my IT nerd in college. If you can’t sigh over your good ole days something went wrong. We both roar with laughter when we watch BBT. Excellent post!
sighing over the good ol’ days sounds just perfect.
I’m married to one of those Georgia Tech type nerds, and the goods have been interesting and fun and then some. As for college, it was a good ride and then you have to deal with real life which isn’t always as much fun.
Sounds like you a fun life.
Love the Big Bang Theory – it is funny that my parents got me and my other half hooked on this show – ha! Have a Great Weekend:)
That is funny!
you just reminded me of my college…
college was one of the best days of my life… despite being the girl with braces.. 🙂
wait college was only one day for you?
LOVE THE “BIG BANG THEORY!” And this was a funny, entertaining, and true post. Sandy
Thanks !
My best male friend went to Tech and I’m confident he’d attest to every word you say here.
The other day something awesome occurred to me: my best friend is married to a rocket scientist who works at CalTech in Pasadena. He’s basically the married version of the guys on Big Bang Theory! Except he’s a lot less socially awkward 😉
That is so cool. A real life penny and leonard. Epic.
