Go With The Flow

So you thought this was going to be about hitting the books did you? No, no, no! I want every college kid in the world to have the greatest time just like I did. Where should I start?

Day 1:
The College Blog

After the whole orientation was over I met a guy named Jon. Now I was a very sheltered kid before I came to college so I was not really into much. Anyway, Jon and I was walking aimlessly down the A&T strip when these two females drove passed us in a Mercedes CLK. They were absolutely gorgeous. Since I was shy Jon yelled to get their attention. I guess it worked because they stopped and gave us a ride to our dorms. I definitely forget their names now but I'm sure they will always remember me and Jons.

Jon and I exit the Mercedes and start walking away from the car. I didn't want the night to end though. This was my first time away from my parents and all the freedom in the world was handed to me. I slowly turned around and asked the driver, " Uhhh, do you all want to show us around?" She replied, "Sure Loser." Boom, Bam, SCORE! That was the last day of me being that loser. Jon and I ran up stairs got dressed and was ready for whatever may come that night.

As we got into the car the girls wanted to know how old we were. I said I was 20 as Jon said he was 21. I'm pretty sure these girls knew we were lying. They were 22. So the first stop was a house party. I've never been to one before but I think I liked it. There were girls everywhere and all they kept saying to me was how cute and young I was. I was never cute and young in high school. Jon was right at home apparently, he left me at the front door to fend for myself. One of the girls asked me if I wanted a drink and I said sure. I thought it was punch...How Naive. I was wondering all along why the cups were so dog on small. After my seventh cup I asked someone what kind of punch this was. They said it was Ever Clear and to be careful cause it is some strong alcohol. Wow, thanks for telling me. I never had a drink in my life and now I'm an instant alcoholic? At that moment I felt something...Something Cool. I saw a girl in the corner that I was nervous to talk to the whole night until now. I walked my young, alcoholic self over there and told her she was beautiful.

I woke up the next hour outside of the party on the grass. Jon was laughing hysterically. Apparently her boyfriend was standing right beside her and I disrespected him by moving him out the way to talk to her. I don't remember that. At least I had the confidence to go over there.

The night was far from over. I went to my first club after that. Yes, after I got punched in the face I was so tipsy that I wanted to still have a great night. We go to a really nice upscale place called "Good Luck Not Getting Shot in Here." Yes, it was amazing. The women were bending over dancing, the music was loud, and the bouncers were mean. The perfect place for a nerd to go on a Friday night. So I don't care about anything at this point I'm something the kids call wasted. I dance the night away, well I was teaching myself how to dance as I never went to a club before. The women kept laughing at me.

We leave the club at about 3 O'clock and low and behold the girls wanted to take us to one more place...The strip club. Now I went from being a sheltered teen that was not even allowed to go to Cosmo Bowling because it was at night time to Stiffler from American Pie. Why not though, you only live once. so we arrive at the strip club. This time it was an elegant place. No, really this place was much nicer than that piece of trash club we just left. The women were beautiful and they all wanted me or so I thought. They just wanted my money and boy did they get it. I had to spend at least 300 dollars that night. That might not seem like a lot to you, but I was already a struggling college student. I swear one of the ladies just had a c-section because she had stitches across her belly, strange I know.

So, the night was turning into morning and the women were ready to go. I had volunteered at a local elementary school so I had to be up in a few hours anyway. We leave and head back to the dorms. As I am taking a shower I'm reminiscing about what I've just done. Boy if I would have just walked in the dorm the first time I would have never drove around town, gone to my first house party, drink my first drink, get punched in the face, gone to my first and last thug club, gone to my first strip club, and spend all my money for the week... Yea right I wanted to do it all over again!

So step one in the necessary tips to college success is go with the flow. I did and will never forget it!
