Times have changed, evidently

Before college I was goodie-two-shoes squared. (but please, don’t let that get out.)
Unfortunately that sad little character flaw contributed to my decision to attend a private college on a dry campus. Fortunately, the campus was moist, just not a top ten party school.
And now as a grad student I’m shocked to see student health newsletters that include headlines like:
Drinking Games: How to Come Out a Winner
Whoa, what?? Come on people, everybody knows it’s more fun to LOSE at drinking games! Seriously, what kind of pussy-footed college drinkers are we trying to create? At least in my day, even on my conservative little campus, they didn’t try to convince us to drink sensibly. Instead they employed the age old practice of denial. AND IT WORKED OUT BEAUTIFULLY! Except for a tiny glitch my sophomore year when I was completely annihilated, hid (poorly) from the cops, was dragged out and questioned, strongly reprimanded for underage drinking, and reported to the dean. But still, those were good times!

This isn't necessarily a witty comment and/or insight, but my wife and I can relate as we also attended a "dry" campus. While the campus was dry, that didn't mean the nightclubs in a nearby city were. :)
LOL - not how to win!!
OH man...I wish there was video of that event! :D
I just wonder how much in denial some places are about the amount of drinking that goes on at their campuses..
The colleges that I went to claimed to be "sober" campuses, but there was more drinking done in a two-hour cramming session for mid-terms than I've seen in an entire day at a local nightclub!
Personally, I'd rather go to a "wet" college, and know that I'm headed to party-central instead of having it sneak up on you!
I think I saw you on youtube!
So Witty you are telling us you were a "loser?"
No way! I don't believe it! Nuh-uh!
I want to repeat my college years, this time as a serious college student. That is, one that actually drinks. I was a late bloomer!
Sounds a lot like what I did in University. Found excuses to drink on a daily basis.
It should also be noted that I became quite a pro when it came to losing any drinking game.
Ahhh yes, losing at drinking games! I wish I could remember them...
OH!! you were THAT girl!!
Ah moist. I love that word, it like my steamy pants.
I always lose at drinking games except Edward 40 hands where everyone loses or wins. point of view!
i just pretend i'm playing while drinking myself into oblivion
Heh, I lost so many drinkin games I never made it to college. ;)
You seem to have a good grasp on the memories of those good times, so you could have been too blitzed! :)
test to see if this puppy, I mean, kitty cat works ;)
Of course, it would help to put my url in.

Nice blog. Love your profile--definitely don't waste that gift! My in-laws went to a very very dry school and resorted to all sorts of other weirdnesses. Drinking is much more straightforward. I highly recommend! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
