I’m at a party school. But that doesn’t mean I don’t work hard, too. Stems from the old motto: Work hard, play hard. I truly believe it takes both to have a great life. So I live it. Week days we do our homework and take our tests and go to office hours to ask questions and email our TA’s and professors. Weekends, we play.
This past weekend I went out Thursday, Friday and Saturday night–yes, weekends start on Thursday if you plan your Friday schedule right. This weekend was a combination of frat parties and apartment parties in our famous party dorm–Towers. Frat parties were a little slow this weekend with only Kappa Sig’s birthday party extravaganza on Friday, and Saturday only having ATO, Sammy and Sig Ep parties. But they were fun! They all had TOPs (Take Our Picture) and Tiny’s Guys. TOPs takes pictures at all the big parties and private greek events and posts them on their website for sale to us Greek Students. Tiny’s Guys are security/bouncers. They make sure no one too drunk comes in the parties, no one fights, no boys not in the frat get in, and if the cops are out front no one can leave the party until they’re gone. They’re all GIANTLY muscled black men who are intimidating just to look at so they hardly need to do anything because people just listen to them.
Anyway, the parties I went to had really great drinks available, which was a nice departure from the usual punch and beer. This weekend, being mardi gras, we got Hurricaines, Tequila Slammers, Hand Grenades, and the Mardi Gras Ambroisa. Lots of people went over board, but most people just had a great time!
