| General | Appreciating the beauty in imperfection, going to shows, discovering new music, rediscovering old music, vegan food, tattoos, herbal enthusiasm, offending conservatives and pissing off liberals, pop art, street art, daily trips to the record store, skateboarding, philosophy, women's rights, reproductive rights, LGBT rights, anarchist thought, proper grammar, gin, compassionate capitalism, disc golf, hedonism, reviving the "That's what she said" jokes, Guitar Hero, arbitrary political debates, playing euchre, punching kids with Che Guevera T-shirts in the face, and of course, in the end accomplishing less than a liberal arts degree.
