Parties with all your hometown friends, DUH?! At least, that seems how all my friends breaks went. A little bit different than how mine went. I found out that most of my friends were going out to parties during times they should have been sharing with their parents. Maybe I'm niave and I should be out celebrating the holidays like "college students do". I took my break as a serious chill/down time with my mother. I worked two days, and hung out with my cousin other days. But, I hung out with my cousin with my mother and really shared some family time. I was convinced that's what break was about. Not about how close you got to kicking your sister's ass, or all your old friends you got totally wasted with.
I guess I'm going about this all wrong. Or...completely right. I'm not sure yet. [I'm thinking right! duh]
thank you and im out

College Cliques
Ah. Cliques! Of course I felt like they were going to end when I came to college because, "we are better than that now". But apparently we fucking thought way wrong. Ever since I started here, I realized that the cliques have gotten even worse, and they are narrowed down very strongly, too! So, I'm going to do my best to give you a comical look at each of these cliques...... :) ENJOY!
"The Sorority Girls": This is obvious. Greek life is a big thing on most college campus' that I toured and have heard about. But, these girls are in a clique because the girls that aren't in their sorority are already shunned out. They carry around bags with their letters on them; an attention bringer. It's all about the parties they go to, the guys they fuck, and how much alcohol they consume in one night. The small, yet still substantial, philantrohpy events they hold are something that keeps their image held high in the "grown up world". These are the girls that you will rarely find alone, and when you do find them alone you best believe they are on their cell phones talking about who danced with who last night. They run in packs which smiles plastered on to their face and uggs on their feet. They are the death of me. And, I will never be one of them!
"The Frat Guys": Another obvious. I've already wrote a blog about them so you can read about them there. Keep having your kegs and fucking those nasty girls. Pass around the STDs like their nobody's business.
"The Party People": I suppose you could say that I'm in this clique, because I party. I don't go to the BCM or christian ministires on thursday nights for "alternative fun". I drink. I smoke weed. I party. These are the people that choose to use their college freedom to meet new people and drink while doing so! The greek community can obviously fit into this category as well. But, this group is different because we AREN'T in a greek community. We are american. Not greek. And, we don't wear greek letters that "define us". What defines most of these people are what alcohol they carry into a party, and if they payed for it themselves. They miss classes due to hangovers or just the fact that they dont think the attendance policy means them as well.
"The Squares": I just felt like bringing back this old school term because I always loved it. These people go to the dance theater on thursday night because they don't go to parties. They go to what we call on my campus "CRU" Campus Crusade for Christ has been shortened to Cru for some reason. Believe me, they won't talk to you about your partying happens, they act like it doesn't happen. My roommate is one of these, and when I stroll in at three in the morning she acts like I didn't wake her up when I drop my purse onto the floor and kick off my heels and one lands in her bed. It didn't happen. Because "why would anyone go to college for any other reason but to learn?"
"The Hotties": Personally, for me, these are the people I see on campus that are BEAUTIFUL and I just don't know anything about them. They are mysterious and I can't really explain it in any other way.
"The Foreigners": Now, this is an obvious name. These are the people that I see on campus and NOWHERE else BUT campus. Are they here to learn, of course. But, do they have a social life? Because, believe me, I've never seen anyone other then black or white people at the parties I go to. Maybe they hold asian only parties and I'm obviously not inivted. This is a crew that I'm going to have to investigate a little more.
Now that I put these cliques down onto webpage...I'm not sure they make much sense. There are so many different kinds of people on campus, but you best believe that we still got those cliques and they are held highly in my mind.

Halloween On Campus
DISCLAIMER: I made sure to X out all the faces because there are people I actually know in this picture and I don't want any feelings hurt. Plus, this was a party I actually attended.Halloween takes on a complete different form when you mix in college students and beer. Add some costumes, subtract most of the fabric, and you got yourself a Halloween party. There were many parties for me to participate on this particular holiday and I went to most of them. Over 4 parties to be exact. That’s how many I went to, and only one did I get drunk enough to tell people “I got pretty drunk” and it was a complete blast. So, PRAISE that wonderful Halloween party I went to that had 2 kegs and a huge container of hooch (do you know what that is? Or is it just a redneck thing?). But, as I was saying Halloween is a whole other ballgame for college students. It’s all about the costumes that girls are wearing and how much skin they can get by with showing. Now, there were many girls competiting for that title at the party that I went to. I saw pimps with their hookers, a girl scout, and many one piece bathing suit clad women claiming to be some type of animal. I saw cops, bees, witches, and even a set of girls dressed up as “the case holders” for Deal or No Deal. The difference between the childhood and college versions of the holiday are very specific and easy to see. The reason my school and friends make it such a big deal is because it is an excuse to party and see women with the littlest amount of clothing on possible. Now, I know a few people that get completely trashed on a regular weekend basis. But, on Halloween… I see more drunk people then you could imagine. People going too far, drinking stronger drinks, and drinking way past their normal limits. This weekend I saw hookups in the middle of a dance floor, intercourse in the woods, and I myself got a little frisky in a pickup truck (hey, I can’t lie!!). Halloween is just a bad of an excuse to party as beer pong is known as the international party game.
The funniest things about Halloween that I noticed this year were the things I did, the places I went, and the fact that Halloween is one of the biggest times to see men act like children. Obvisouly, we have already discussed how girls dress on Halloween but when it comes to guys wardrobe I saw many interesting and amazing costumes. A simple red shirt with “To: Women From: God” and a bow on a guy’s head. I saw a best friend group dressed as the twin towers (with the word tribute on the front. It was tasteful. Funny. Not a mean outfit), a scarecrow, a Mexican (with an authentic sombrero), and even an amazingly hot transvestite. I love watching silly guys run around in their outfits, beer in hand. So, Halloween. Is it something that we should keep for children to get candy? Or, will it always be this big excuse to party? Will I be a 35 year old women wondering what the hell my daughter is wearing out to a Halloween party (a Halloween get together she will most likely tell me)? Ah, I won’t know till it happens will I?
Thank you and I’m out..
