Isn't it strange how some tastes or smells remind you of the days of old?

While grocery shopping today i picked up a 12er of Bud Ice Light. I hadn't had it since college (i'm 26 now) so figured what the hell.

I took my first sip and it totally reminded me of my days drinking this stuff ALL THE TIME in college. Good stuff! :thumbsup:

Heh...I've been noticing a lot of this lately.

(If I remember any specific instances, I'll edit it into my post :p)

the smell from my electric razor reminds me of a kid when my dad would let me pretend to shave with his...even though i was only like 8 or something. LOL.

Smell is the sense most tied to memory

It's because it's the first to develop before you're born



HEY, HOW 'BOUT THAT?!?! AP BIOLOGY IS ACTUALLY PAYING OFF!! :D

I can't for the life of me remember what specific things have been triggering memories for me - but recently, I've had lots of instant flashbacks to high school and even elementary school...

Edit: Some cleaner-type smell reminded me so much of the stuff they used to use at my elementary school...it's so weird, but very cool at the same time.

Don't worry, I only know that because we just covered that in class.

I'll probably get a 3 on the test and a 680 on the SATII.

I better start studying

Yeah, every now and then when I go outside to have a smoke at night it reminds me of my freshman year of high school when my brother and I would go outside at night after my parents went to bed to smoke before he moved away.

I feel the same way. :) :)(?)

Probably mostly because I've been having a lot of "what the hell have I been doing lately?" thoughts...

The smell of Lilac makes me cry. Memories of first 'user' GF.

How many people here know you're a guy?

EDIT: my additional posts indicate that I have still not yet looked at my homework

sh!t man. You have no idea. I quit my job because of those feelings and haven't even started looking for a new one. Money is slowly running out too. :eek:

Heh...

I'm still in college, although feeling less and less motivation. I probably should go to class more...

But yeah, even so, I haven't exactly made a whole lot of friends here (haven't really "wanted" to), so it is kind of strange to say the least. Edit: Case in point - I've posted here 1000 times since one week ago...

I hope you do find something you enjoy though. :beer:
