Here is a difference for you...

It is Friday night and I have washed dishes, done the laundry, fixed dinner, and relaxed. A typical Friday night when I previously enrolled at UT would have gone something more like this: sprint to my car after class to head to the mall where I would purchase the latest fashion item, high-tail it home when the mall closed to scarf down a meager dinner that usually consisted of a can of green beans, start assembling different outfits while waiting for my friends to arrive, join in the debate over what type of look my friends and I would go with that night, down a couple of shots to take the edge off since we usually didn't drink when "clubbing," and then we would finally arrive at the club dressed to impress but were too insecure to talk to anyone that had the balls to approach us. Oh, the memories.
