state-dependent learning

Psychological phenomenon where people remember things better when they return to whatever state of consciousness they were in when they originally learned them. If you do, say, Ritalin while studying for an exam, you'll do better if you're on Ritalin again when you actually take the test.
Student 1: Dude, it's 8:30am on Tuesday-- why are you drinking a beer?

Student 2: I got hammered while I was studying for my Econ final and now I don't remember anything. I'm hoping state-dependent learning will kick in once I get a buzz on, though.

Penn State Rugby

A dominant force consisting of two teams, men and women, who play the best sport ever created. These two teams are not only BOTH undefeated in their Fall 2005 seasons, but both groups are ridiculously good looking. They make the game of rugby look easy.

pps-this is really just for fun and we are not this cocky, so do not take it that way :)
Who are you playing today?

United States of America

The World's Scapegoat.

America's a pretty big place, and its full of all different kinds of people everywhere you go.

We're just a bunch of normal people living in a counrty with a messed up reputation and a mighty big spotlight for a mighty small man.
People will be people, wherever they live.

n.y. state of mind

One of the best rap songs ever. it is by the legendary rapper Nas, and it is off one of the best rap albums ever called Illmatic. The beat was created by the best producer ever, DJ premier. Premier's beat on n.y. state of mind is one of the greatest ever.
N.Y. state of mind is a classic, and I would suggest that you download this song if you want to listen to amazing rapping and a magnificent beat.

New York State

The name for all the forgotten land north of Metro NYC and west of New England. If you say you're from New York, people immediately picture glamorous Manhattan. But then when you tell them you're from Buffalo or Syracuse they get disappointed.
New Yorker: I'm from New York
Easy girl: OMG, NYC?! Can you take me to Broadway shows and to see fireworks from the top of the Empire State Building?
New Yorker: Sure thing. *winks cause he knows he's getting some*

New York Stater: I'm from New York
Easy girl: OMG, NYC?! Can you take me to Broadway shows and to see fireworks from the top of the Empire State Building?
New York Stater: Actually....I'm from Rochester.
Easy girl: Well, I've gotta run!

Colorado State University

Colorado State is located in the city of Fort Collins, CO. CSU enrolls around 25,000 students and "FoCo" is home to around 140,000 residents. CSU is a land grant institution and it's sports teams are called the Rams.
Colorado State University is made up of dominantly Coloradans (80%+). This high contingency of Colorado leads to what students describe as "the authentic Colorado college experience." You will also find more down-to-earth people per capita at CSU than any other university in Colorado. Many students are actually paying for their own schooling here, providing a sense of accomplishment and becoming a self-made man/woman.
Colorado is one of the best states to go to college, and that's a fuckin' fact, which makes State the shit due to the following reasons:
1) Awesome college town.
2) Old Town/Bar Scene.
3) Immediate access to Denver.
4) Access to the best ski/board resorts in the world and Red Rocks.
5) Gorgeous natural setting in the Foothills.
6) Horsetooth Reservoir is 5 min. away.
7) You can ski and get hammered on Horsetooth in the same day.
8) Athletic events are free, who cares if we most likely suck, we're shitfaced and having an awesome time. Also, we've shit-kicked CU in every varsity sport this year, which we celebrate like it's the super-bowl to spite CU and their recruiting advantage.
9) The girls are smokin' hot.
10) More than 600 restaurants and bars in Fort Collins.
Bonus) More than 23 medical marijuana dispensaries in Fort Chronic.
Boulder: "Bro-mo, we are so fuckin' Colorado, god damn I can't wait to let my homies/bras know how sick ass the parties and lifestyle is here" Translation: "Fellow homosexual, we moved from Cali/New Jersey/TX/Conn./NY/any other douche bag factory. I can't wait to return home and talk about how all us dudes are turned from parties where we don't know the house owners and end up smoking weed and getting hammered with the same 5 douchebags in our dorm every weekend." Reality outside of the "Boulder Bubble": "My dad went to Boulder in the '70s, all the pictures made it look fuckin' awesome. I tried it for a semester, the truth is it's the #10 Douchiest school and likes to call itself a "Public Ivy" though no other reputable report has ever given it that title. If you can get into a "Public Ivy" with a 24 on your ACT (which at Colorado University 25% of students enrolled actually scored less than that) then I'm pretty sure you can get into a public ivy by reciting the alphabet and getting your last name tattooed on your body somewhere (just in case you forget?). Luckily, students at Colorado State are keeping it real and giving Colorado a good reputation for the awesome college paradise it is." Summary: No Colorado school besides the liberal arts school of Colorado College is hard to get into and graduate from. At both CU and Colorado State University you will find plenty of morons and plenty of smart students. Note: This is in partial response to the CU tool's original def.
