Coming of Age

Maybe I'm just a cheeseball given current state of mind/physiology... but I was listening to the song Hands Down by Dashboard Confessional which is essentially a song about the lead singer's best day he can remember... so I started thinking, what's the best day I can ever remember?
I remember one night, end of my junior year in high school, I was in a relationship that was both unhealthy and frankly needed to be put out of it's misery, so I went and hung out with this girl, an older friend of mine who was in college at the time, and stayed out WAY too late kissing, frolicing, being young and stupid and it was FUCKING amazing. Anyway.. just was wondering if anyone had any distinct memories from high school/college years that you'd see as your coming of age, bridging the gap between adolescense and young adult hood, or frankly just being the best fucking thing you can remember?

I can't remember my best day. But, the best day that I will ever have is when the Dashboard Confessional singer keels over.

Interesting thought - I will have to give it some thinking. Nothing really jumps out, briefly thinking about it. Might be more like a combination of events/days for me.

I've had a few "best days."
One was high up on mountain overlooking the city. To the east was the city, to the west was a huge miles long resevoir. It was 4th of July. My friends and I had a huge bag of pot, we smoked and smoked and smoked all day long, it eventually got dark out. We could see the firework displays of 4 cities and in the moutains was a lightening storm. It was amazing....

Driving around back country roads with some cocaine addict girl in an old beat up mercedes benz with an ICP emblem painted on the hood. Hitting that tree, bending that axel, and walking that road all the way back to town.

The first time I held a stack(100 100s) is quite memorable and enjoyable. Made me realize it was time to grow up(14). Another was buying my first futures. And the first time I cut class to go explore a female
