These are a few of my favorite Halloween things

Pumpkins
and cider and craft fairs on weekends

Bright orange tree leaves and fall walks with my
friends
Pumpkin spice lattes with the smell they bring
These are a few of my favorite things

Clever, cute costumes designed for all ages
Pirates with lace thongs and strippers from stages
Witches and nurses with fishnet stockings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in skank outfits parading off campus
Everyone’s joyous; the beer flow is endless
Students are wasted as I gladly sing
These are a few of my favorite things

When rejected
From house parties
And costumed girls too….
Simply remember your favorite things
And then throw back….a handle or a two!

Happy Halloween!

How the evil universe views college students

Dear non-seniors, It has come to our attention that the most recently graduating class of 2012 did not pay enough for college.

Three reasons drinking alone is better than going to a bar on Marshall St

I’d like to state that I am not an alcoholic. But I do like a good drink. What I don’t like is going down to DJs/Chucks/Lucys/Flip Night and waiting for seemingly decades to get to the bar only to find out their drink selection is based on lackluster liquor and even shittier beer. Why bother?... MORE »
