It was the first night that we had the entire crew together: Cassie, Hanna, and Nikki. We started our night by heading to my house to take shots. Of course I took way more than everyone else and was ready to go.
It was pretty cold out so we had my roommate drive us (he owed me for driving him to Taco Bell). We get to Pike where they immediately ask us what house we are in. “AOPi” we all mumble as we get our X’s.
We walk down to the dance floor and it is pretty dead... We then start formulating some new plans. We are at Pike for enough time to finish 2 cups of jungle juice, then we catch a sober to Theta Chi.
I don’t remember what the theme was but I know it was LIT. People are already dancing and getting crazy when we get there at a mere 10:30 PM. There is a live DJ, so we are really feeling it.
Hanna leads us to the bar for drinks. After waiting a while, she finally gets us 4 shots. We down them and move on. We all start to dance and have a great time. I’m pretty drunk at this point so I decide we should wander around. We stumbled upon a room where the host is dancing like crazy, and serving up some ROUGH McCormicks shots... UGH...
I talk to the mystery man behind the counter, then Hanna and Cassie notice there are air plane row seats in the corner. Of course we have to get pictures in it. (Is it really a frat party if you don’t get pictures???) We start talking to the girl taking our pictures. Her name is Alyssa, but her nickname was somehow Shoe... We take a few shots with her and head back to the dance floor.
It is so hot. We are all sweating and dancing our asses off. After we find a spot on the light up podiums to dance, my friend Brandon shows up and puts a pair of glasses on my head (??OK??). After freaking out because they are kaleidoscope glasses, Brandon shortly walks away.
Of course I have to show EVERYONE the magical glasses. I don’t know how I managed to not lose them because he never came back for them...
We are dancing and all of a sudden notice Hanna has migrated to dancing with the DJ. OF COURSE. Anytime there is a DJ, we all already know it won’t take long before she is making out with him.
As I said before, it was VERY hot, so we head to the small room off the back hall to cool off. I sneak behind the bar to crack a window as we dance, take shots, and throw ice from the beer bucket at each other.
I don’t know exactly how long we stayed to dance after that, but we eventually took a sober back. We all frat packed in the back of the car. 5 girls crammed in the back seat, with another two sharing the passenger side. You can only guess where I’m going with this.
The sober decides to, instead of dropping Cassie and Hanna off at their place first since it is closest, to drive the other girls to their house which is furthest off campus. As we are sitting at a light, we look to our right to see a cop car. We all freak out and duck but it was already too late.
The light turned green and the sober began to drive, just to quickly be stopped the the cop. The cop makes the driver get out so he can test his sobriety. He’s a sober so of course he hasn’t had anything all night.
THANKFULLY the cop was very kind and allowed the sober to walk the ones who lived close by home. So the sober took me and Nikki, and three other random girls. We got half way back to my house before the sober told us he was just going to let us walk alone... Cool, thanks sober.
Nikki and I are cold and slightly drunk so we run all the way back to my house. We finally get back, and pass out. At least we ran off some of the alcohol?
Tonight started off by meeting up with an army brat, Nikki, and lil red riding hood, Alice. The night started like usual: we went to DSig. (I told you guys it was my favorite) We get there but nobody is on the list. I tell the sobers names of the brothers I know, all of which are top in the house, so we are immediately let in. *NETWORKING IS IMPORTANT EVEN IN COLLEGE OK*
We walk in and it is already pretty packed despite RISE not showing up. Alice doesn’t want to stick around and wait, so she leaves with her friends to go to AKL. Nikki and I decide to start dancing til we can start drinking.
Almost immediately we run into my fuck buddy, Ciaran. I embarrassingly try to hide but to no avail. He spots me and says hi. The poor guy was stuck on sober duty. He leaves and Nikki comments on how cute he is (girl I know, I’m ugly but I can pull).
After dancing for a while, we are FINALLY allowed to drink. We make our way back to the bar. The room is already filled so we have to fight our way back to get drinks. It takes us nearly ten minutes to get anything...
Drinks in hand, we wonder back to the dance floor. We’re dancing, having a great time and just doing our thang. After a while, we decide to go join Alice at AKL. We call a sober but its 40 minutes... *sigh* so we have to walk. On our way back, I beg Nikki to go into my work with me to get water. After all it is on the way, and I’m parched.
I walk in in a short skirt, tied up shirt, and obnoxious pig tails. Thankfully the place is empty so I don’t embarrass myself too much. Honestly, I just wanted to go in and see my work crush while I looked slutty. :)
We eventually get to AKL. After getting in the basement, we search for Alice but to no avail. Turns out she was upstairs in the hazing room. WHAT IS THIS?
We find her in an all black room with a stripper pole in the middle. She is pretty drunk, and trying to get us more drinks. She leads us to a room where she tells us she has made out with THREE DIFFERENT BOYS. Oh Alice.
After getting some cold beers and jello shots, we go back to the haze room to dance. We spend a while here before we go back down stairs. When we get there, we find boys doing beer bong 4 ways. I was tempted to ask to join but I was a little too scared.
We dance for awhile, and then go home. Tonight was more successful than the last.
Halloweekend continued in a very exciting, busy, almost terrifying night.
This night started off like any normal Halloween would. I drove to Amanda’s house to get ready. Shortly after arriving, I was chugging down Smirnoff Ice and channeling my inner Y2K Brittany Spears. I quickly finish my transformation into a naughty school girl as Amanda finished her vampiress makeup.
We eventually head back to campus to start fratting. I call a sober and we eventually leave for Triangle. Our sober was the exact type of guy you would expect from Triangle. Tall, skinny guy who had no idea how to carry a conversation. After failing to create small talk, Amanda and I sit in silence while the sober’s classical music played in the background. Can you say awkward...
Thankfully it wasn’t that far of a drive. I run as fast as I can to get into the house when we arrive, Amanda shorty behind me. We venture in, get our blue highlighter X’s and make our way to find Hanna and Cassie in the basement. They’re with a group of girls I don’t recognize.
After they catch up on some drinking, while I sip on my one beer (this is when I had started my diet, so I only allowed myself one drink a night), we head to DChi for A Nightmare on Waldren Street.
As we are walking down the street, I notice Hanna still has her red solo cup full of jungle juice in her hand. I tell her to either throw it out now, or chug it so we can ditch it. As she is just about to throw it out, a cop starts to drive by. We ditch the cup and keep walking normal. “Everybody act sober!!” The cop quickly stops right in front of us.
*what is going to happen? are we going to go to jail now? NO PAIGE CHILL. Okay, okay. don’t trip, keep walking*
We grow closer and closer to the cop car, and eventually pass it. WHAT IS GOING ON? The cop didn’t get out of his car at all. He then drove off like nothing happened... After this, we are all on edge and ready to get to the party.
We turn the corner and see a line out the door through an intricately set-up front yard. After about 10 minutes of waiting, we get to the door man. Hanna knew the sober working so he was able to sneak us in since none of us were actually on the list. “Hanna Marin, I’m in Tri-Delt.”
As we file in the door, we find it is almost impossible to move inside. It is packed, wall-to-wall with hot, sweaty bodies. ITS LIT. We eventually slide past enough people to get to the basement. Amanda and I quickly lose Hanna and Cassie. After searching for them for a few minutes, we give up and decide to dance/ get her more drinks. Amanda then decides she is over being crammed in the basement, so we call a sober and head to KDR.
The sober tells us it’ll be 40 minutes aka he was never going to pick us up. At this point in the year, it had already started to get cold. It was about 30 degrees so we walk to my house first. We call yet another sober once we arrive, and yet again we get 40 minutes. After getting weird and dancing on my porch, we walk to KDR.
KDR was packed when we arrived. Yellow tape lined a pathway up the hill to the door. We get in, get our black X’s, and head to the dance floor. It is packed as well. Eventually Amanda makes her way to get some jungle juice. On the walk there, some girl suddenly PUKES right in front of us. It got all over Amanda’s shoes... WTF KDR?? It wasn’t even midnight yet and people were already sloppy.
Amanda asks if we should leave so we head out. On the way out we hear Cassie calling Hanna’s name. Of course they finally show up when we’re leaving. *rolls eyes* We get back to triangle and end up dancing with these super nice girls. Eventually their boyfriends find them and make us feel really awkward so we venture off.
Amanda and I are then caught by some freshman trying to dance with us. His name was Brandon and he was all over the place. After dancing with both of us, he singles out Amanda. Me being the awesome wing woman I am, I walk off to leave them alone. I must have guessed the situation wrong because Amanda chases after me. Guess Brandon wasn’t her cup of tea.
After Brandon won’t leave her alone, we decide to go home. And the rest is history.
