Sit at home and smoke?

With a few beers or a bottle of wine. As you get older, you will realize that life doesn't get much better than this. Ever. You just think it does and will because you are young.

Get older. You'll lose friends quick to marriage and work.

Yeah, you hit mid Thirties and beyond and things get so hectic with job, kids etc. that time speeds by before you know it. People are too exhausted to do much. It gets harder to connect with people the older you get also. People are more wary of new friendships once you hit forty.

You any good at sports? Looking to add a few guys to my Tuesday night softball team at lasalle

My only complaint is I wish the friends I had weren't so damn flaky. If you have a get together it's like flipping a coin whether any, some or all of them might show up. My wife's friends are pretty reliable; mine are shifty unreliable assholes. Only problem is shifty unreliable assholes are the funnest kind of people if you can rein them in. Strange how that works.

Oh well. I might be accused of it myself sometimes.

Are you married?

This girl ThreeMuses was looking for a fella with high moral fiber like yourself

I'd rather them be flaky and show up half of the time than lazy and never do anything. With the exception of one, my best friends are all the latter. Most get the kids excuse, but the rest have turned anti-social over the years. Half of the time, I'm doing whatever by myself.

If the OP is 10 years younger than me and can't find anyone to do shite with, he's got problems

I count myself very blessed in this regard. I have 5-6 very close friends I've kept since sophomore year of hs (25 now) and another 8-10 people I can call up to get a drink with almost anytime. I'm very easy to get along with and can hold a conversation about pretty much anything

If you can't find shite to do in college, you're pretty much screwed when you join the real world and God forbid have to move away from your Bros.

No, he will fit right in in the so called "real world". But I agree that you should be pretty well entertained in college most of the time. Join a fraternity. There is always an excuse to drink, make a road trip or something. Make the most of it now. Life is downhill after thirty if you are into doing shite with friends.

Go to rehab. Even if you dont need it. Youll meet some cool cats in there
