"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I was admitted into the UCR honors program, but I'm not really sure if I want to join it though.

There seems to be many benefits to the program (they give you money towards residence halls, i think it was $1500, not much but w/e. and preferential scheduling and other crap like that.

Then today, they send me a summer packet to read some excerpt from a book and write an essay on it to bring to orientation on June 20-something, and now I'm realizing this honors program thing may be very much like AP classes in high school, and I don't want to go studying like I did for AP Calculus this year.

I'm just wondering how some of your experiences have been on honors programs (UCR preferred, but any UC with honors program information would be appreciated).

Thanks
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I was in the Honors Program at the University of Washington for two years and really enjoyed it. Up here, the best lecturers teach Honors and there's a fair amount of grade inflation because the students are good and engaged and the professors are more interested in telling a good, informative story than being diploma factories. I'm graduating in a few weeks and my number one regret is not staying in the Honors Program.

Don't be me.
