Trying to be a pre-med major as an undergraduate when I really wanted to be an English major. (I eventually switched majors.) I knew that I’d done the wrong thing when I saw the pair of stillborn conjoined twins preserved in a large jar of formaldehyde in the biology lab. One of the reasons why I quit pre-med was that I didn’t want to study dead babies. ---

It SEEMED like a good idea to get drunk for the first time my senior year well it wasn’t. After 5 big glasses of bear half a bottle of aftershock and 3 shots of whiskey I couldn’t remember who I was basically. They told me I acted pretty decent for a drunk person I just wish I could remember anything about that night. ANd for the record I did not have a hang over. ---

Trying to roller skate down the street, with one foot on the road, and the other on the curb. To this day, I don’t know what made me try it. But when I started to fall, and grabbed onto the mailbox for support, it broke off the stand, sending me flying onto the pavement. A guy walking his dog across the street said he heard my head hit 10 feet away. A trip to the ER later, I was feeling much better. 🙂 Sleeping with my best friend’s ex boyfriend. Now that she’s not talking to me,in addition to the possibility of me being pregnant, I’m pretty much screwed. And while I love him dearly…we live 2000 miles apart, and I don’t especially want to raise a kid alone. Grr. Damn hornyness… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-it-seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time/44886.md?page=2)
