What is a chode? I assume it is a derogatory term, but it's not in my vocabulary yet.

... and yeah, I concur, Get a life, increase your social circle, do cools things for fun and most importantly ENJOY LIFE. There's not much of it left!

When I was a kid, the 6-week summer holiday seemed endless. But as you get older, time goes by quicker and quicker...

Because we experience time in this non-linear fashion, by the time youare 25-30, you are at least half way through your life (even if you live to be 100).

Make the most of it, do those things you always wanted to, because very soon, it will be too late an you'll be a boring old fart drinking 2 pints of stout by yourslef in the local every night of the week instead of that guy who's a "legend and everyone knows it".
