While I’m here, I figure I may as well take the time to comment on everything that interests me. Today, Daniel-san, I want to share with you my thoughts on college and how that drunken mess experience fits into the puzzle that is your life.

Over the last year or so, I’ve consistently gotten free food, great service, and excellent discounts from restaurants. More important, I don’t have to jump through any hoops, sign up for a crazy feedback program, or even go out of my way to do it.
