I've so far survived my first 3 weeks while living at Holy Cross, And since then I've seen and experienced my fair share of COLLEGE experiences.

These COLLEGE experiences are situations that one would typically see on a college campus...

1. Being “that kid”: Everyone warns you not to be that kid when you go off to school. 83% of the time, this "kid" is the 5’10’’ 160 pound white-adolescent male who decides to treat tequila shots like dining hall chocolate milk. He obviously has never drank alcohol before and the closest thing he came to alcohol was when he watched high school health videos about how to drink responsibly. 3 hours later after giving "daps" to random RAs and other lacrosse players, he's on his side puking on a girl that he barely knows from his Calc class.

2. Bringing Average-Looking Girls/Guys Back to your Room: After the first few weeks of classes, you’re starting to get a little nervous and self conscious about yourself because you’re either not doing well in your psych 101 class and you have no clue why, or you haven’t scored any Mid-Atlantic tail. So, you decide to facebook IM a random freshman that you’ve never talked to before, and sure enough they are in the same "i hate myself" predicament as you. WHO KNEW?!? Within 3 days the average guy/girl is spending most of their time in your hall, and you’re constantly stuck looking at a 6.8.

3. Puking: I know I touched on this a bit before, and don’t worry I won’t stay on the idea for too much longer, HOWEVER, after 3 weeks of college, I feel it safe to say that college freshmen don’t give a hoot about what other people think about them. For instance, just the other night, 2 puddles of throw-up sat stagnant on my hallway linoleum floor. Obviously the culprit was a cotton-headed-ninny-muggins and thought that no one living one door across from his mess would care that the hallway would smell like puke for the next day. However the worst part about this situation is that there is a 89% chance that this kid fulfilled all 3 of the previous COLLEGE experiences. By "puking" he automatically became "that kid" and he was most definitely with an "average looking girl" earlier in the night and he wanted to impress her (for who knows what reason) by how many shots he could take.

4. Staring at the Janitors: True this one is a little cruel, but it is still college. If you, you're friend, Mario Lopez, or anyone else on your floor ever get the chance to stare at a janitor...do it. They wont disappoint.

5. Playing Rap Music Really Loud: Yup, we get it, you're on the football team, you love wearing beaters and talking to people from your high school on facebook. But most of all you want to let the whole hall know that you love Dr. Dre, but only the Dr. Dre songs that were made in the time period when he was with N.W.A.

I want to let all my readers know that I was never a part of these situations. I couldn't have been because I was too busy observing what really goes on in college outside of classes. Now of course I am not including all the little nuances that make college fun, but I thought I'd provide all of you with just a little "shot" of college....yes the pun was intended.
