Think of the wildest, craziest weekends of your Penn State experience.

You know, those nights when the last thing you remember is doing a three-minute kegstand before waking up under a tree somewhere.

I'm sure that, at some point in your life, you've heard someone say that he or she could write a book about these good times. Well, someone finally did.

In his new book, Ruminations on College Life, hard-partying University of Pennsylvania graduate Aaron Karo captures the lighter side of the college experience, with hilarious results. It seems as if no one is safe from Karo's acerbic wit, as he tackles dorm life, drunken freshmen and clueless professors, among other victims.

At the beginning of his book, Karo discusses how Ruminations came into being. As a freshman, Karo found it difficult to fall asleep on Sunday nights after a long weekend of partying. Random thoughts about college streamed through his head, and one night, Karo decided to write them down. He sent these musings to twenty of his high school friends, who, in turn, forwarded them to their friends.

By the time he graduated from Penn, Karo's monthly newsletter had become an Internet smash, sent to 11,000 people worldwide. After his graduation, Karo put these thoughts together in the book.

At its best, Ruminations had me glued to its pages, reading Karo's often sidesplitting insights on the life of the college male. It almost reads like a college-aged, print version of Seinfeld, mostly as a result of Karo's keen ability to find comedy in the little things in life, such as the problem of dressing for a party in the middle of winter.

"When winter comes around," Karo writes, "freshmen become faced with the paradox of clothing. If you dress warmly for the walk to the party, you'll sweat to death inside the frat. But if you dress lighter, you'll freeze to death before you even make it in."

What's Karo's response to this life-shattering dilemma? "So really the question is, before you die, wouldn't you rather have a couple of beers first?"

Alcohol seems to be the solution to most of Karo's problems. There are times in the book when it seems that he does nothing more than drink all night and sleep all day.

In fact, "one of the best nights" of Karo's freshman year consisted of taking his fraternity pledge brother to the hospital after he cracked his skull open in a drunken stupor. It wasn't long before Karo and his friends resumed the night's festivities, chugging beers in the parking lot with hospital security guards.

While the majority of Karo's drinking stories are funny, they do get somewhat tired after 159 pages. In fact, the last few pages of the book had me hoping that Karo would find another drug of choice. I'm sure his liver feels the same way.

Still, the good more than outweighs the bad in Ruminations, as Karo finds grandiose humor in the little things of college life that we are all experiencing.
