Life
Where do I even begin? Everytime I visit Wilmington all the memories start coming back. I was lucky enough to get out of Wilmington in 1996, not that it's such a horrible place to live, which it's not, but I always wanted to experience living somewhere else.

College
What does a college experience typically involve - drinking, smoking and partying!!! i did my fare share, but did hit the books when i had too. i did come close to joining a fraternity, but luckily i changed my mind. UC Santa Cruz is a great campus. I don't regret any of my experiences for a second!
