campus night life

Post Reply New Topic

Did or do any of you here in college partake in the campus night life, or are you just one who overhears about all the stupid stuff people did the night before.

Just last tuesday afternoon as I went to go eat dinner, I saw the paramedics carry someone out of one of the residence halls on a stretcher.

I read through the online version of the campus newspaper. Each issue they have a section devoted to telling all that people did that got them busted by the police. Most of it is pretty benign, people being cited for underage drinking, posession of drugs, or public urination.

But I had to laugh at this. Makes you wonder what some people are thinking when they do these things.

I went to a bunch of parties when I was at Plymouth State University, more out of boredom and an inability to say no to my friends when they invited me than anything else. Most of the time was spent standing in the darkest corner I could find, practicing small talk when it was required of me and wishing my beer was a Dr Pepper.

Many amusing antics ensued during these. One of my friends was a klepto and found it the height of hilarity to steal the most expensive object in whatever apartment building we were in at the time and show it off later. Amazingly, he never got caught for it, perhaps because he usually returned the items later in the night.

Another guy - don't read this if you don't want to be grossed out - got extremely drunk at a party I was at. When we went back to our dorm building (he was in the room next to mine), he was struggling to walk straight. The next morning, I discovered that he was in deep, deep trouble with the RA of our building (the guy that supervises dorm life).

In the middle of the night, this guy had noticed that he needed to take a leak, but in his messed-up state, he didn't think he could make it to the bathroom down the hall. So, in all his wisdom, he decided to let fly out of his window. A series of coincidences made this already bad situation go horribly, horribly wrong. For one, it was a warm, windy night. The wind served to direct the, ah, material in an unintended direction, and the unseasonable temperature meant that most people had their windows open. Getting worse, his room, on the third floor, was directly above the RA's room. Finally, beds in our building were almost always positioned directly underneath windows. I'll let you figure out the rest.

Aaah, college...

I hear a lot of fun things happen at that time. It makes you break your routine a little bit. Change is always good.

By the way, Scott, that is a very frightening story about the hurt person. Is everything ok?

I was the one that would always hear the stories the next day and then wonder how people who go to college can be sooooo stupid.

The story I liked the most was the one I heard that caused the school to ban alcohol in the dorms (yeah, I know, like it worked ). All 3 parties in this case were drunk. On a 3rd floor dorm hall, 2 students sandwiched a 3rd student between 2 matresses and tossed him off of the balcony.

yah i am the one doing the stupid stuff. got so wasted the previous two nights. at least people tell me i am a fun drunk. freshman at texas state university.

Isn't Texas State notorious for being a party school?

I dunno, I go to school in Camden. The night-life basically consists of getting mugged.

There is no campus nightlife where I am. The social/religious conservatives have pretty much suppressed it.

Yep. My town really sucks.

I went to parties a lot when I was in college and drank. I often did very embarrassing things and it put me in a position where others were able to take advantage of my social skills challenges. I had some challenges with finding people to talk to and interact with. I often did those embarrassing things like thowing up and so forth.

There is.

Most of the time though finds me at my on campus house watching TV, the guys in our house(7 in all) all split for cable, so five dollars a month each and we get a lot of channels, as long as I have Sci-fi I'm good.

I spend most of my time either studying or watching tv.

I do occasionally go out and play Halo with friends across campus, or enjoy a movie or something, but pretty much not really happens til Finals week when people do stuff to relieve stress.

I also run a radio dj hour on Wednesdays, and once a month the radio station on campus hosts a cocoa party to have the general public know more about us.

I hate college during the weekends. During the week, it's ok, and I often even enjoy it. I have friends, my classes are decent, I'm doing well, I like the indepedence. I live close though, and when Friday rolls around I usually end up calling my parents to come get me. I just feel so stupid staying in all the time - I never used to get lonely, I loved it when my family went out and I had the place to myself. Now I just miss them on the weekends, it's weird. And I hate hearing drunken stories so I can often bypass that if I go home on the weekend. Idk - I wish I had gone to a less party school. For some reason I didn't realize just how much partying goes on at my school. I made the wrong choice, I think.

I go to a school with fairly strict rules, but I still hear about all sorts of parties that happen off-campus. Thankfully, I'm the type of person to stay holed up in the dorm room with a good book or art project and a movie on Friday and Saturday nights... well, when I'm not doing homework, that is.

Other than getting into squabbles with some of the idiots in my classes, I'm a good kid.

There's always some video game tourney going down if you know where to look.

I know two places on Campus which have gotten around the firewall and have an outside connection so that Halo 3 online can be played, I just got done with finals, and all this week, that's what I've been doing, I kid you not, is Halo 3, online, with one or two other people. I've gotten good. Now I just need to train on Halo 2.
