  • The ability to function with little or no sleep.
  • Always having plans on the weekends.
  • Being okay with having a meaningless job.
  • Having that fresh, no makeup needed skin.
  • Getting good grades while putting forth very little effort.
  • “Perkiness”
  • Doing crazy stupid things without much concern for consequences.
  • No pressure from anyone to get married or have kids.
  • Having all your friends in the same city or state.
  • Living in downtown Iowa City.
