That is total bullshit, I give you a month and you would have been sloshed once, freakin' live kid-o.

Mr. Blonde · 03-31-2005, 03:51 AM

Yeah, no joke. Nobody doesnt go out and get drunk at parties. I know countless people who say they never will and always do.

farawayfromhere · 03-31-2005, 01:54 PM

I didn't say I wont ever drink, I said I don't as of now. I didn't say I will never get drunk, I have intentions not to and if I ever do it wont happen all the time. I'm not a crazy partier. I dont like not having control over myself. Its not safe. And as for the pictures I'll post some after spring break I leave on Sunday.

Niger Angelus · 03-31-2005, 03:45 PM

Tell Batty D hello for me kid-o. I know what you are trying to say, but it is going to be hard to not get into the whole party scene your freshman year, but eh, maybe you won't.

Bullshit. I know lots of people who do the exact opposite thing you're saying.

Faraway, I know you've already sent your stuff in, but let me break it down for ya anyways.

Location:
(1) Collins, by far. Sits near all the important educational buildings, the union, and is walking distance to the downtown and kirkwood.
(2) Foster. A little closer to everything than McNutt, but not terrible.
(3) Not terrible either, but you'll get some exercise.
(for more info see a map of bloomington, not just of campus)

People
(Collins) A dorm for people interested in the arts. Not art as in drawing stick people, but just that everyone there has an active interest and involvement in music, film or literature. This is the dorm where everyone has at least 10 days worth of music on their computer. Bring your vintage clothes and an iPod.

(McNutt) A dorm for people interested in athletics and alcohol. There is a large range in the diversity of people there due to it's large size, but I don't think it's a stretch at all to say this is the dorm where every room has a fridge with beer and 9 out of 10 will go through rush. Bring your NorthFace jacket and assorted team apparel.

(Foster) A dorm for everybody. No one particular social group dominates Foster and seems to house a decent cross section of the student body here. Part of this is due to the International Living-Learning Center there, where lots of foreign students live. This is the dorm where each room will look nothing like the next and you'll meet people who's interests probably differ from your own, though keep in mind that North Jordan (frat/sorority lane) is literally right behind Foster. Bring your uniDiversity shirt and a fork. (for more info see FancyMeghan)

Food
(1) You should bring a fork to Foster because it easily has the best food court on campus. It owns, enough said. (for more info see the Butcher)
(2) McNutt has a food court, so it's kind of nice. Not really anything particularly special or noteworthy though.
(3)Collins has traditional dining with emphasis on vegan and vegetarian food. A lot of variety, a lot of good food, but the old cook retired last year, so quality has substantially gone down.

For me, life in McNutt would absolutely suck. For others, Collins might. They seem to represent the two extremes and I think Foster is a fitting middleground without being too undynamic.

Choose your roommate wisely. If you're going for the random draw, I feel bad for you.

i don't. in fact, i'd go so far as to say that drinking fucking sucks, especially at parties. have i ever been piss drunk? of course. but they weren't experiences that i hold very dearly or even care to think about. not because something terrible happened, but because it truly wasn't that great.

my first experience of bloomington/foster/iu was getting nearly $250 worth of food from the C-Store and Foster. single happiest moment in my entire life. talking of spaceship trailers and feeding my face with free food. it can't be topped.

BigDongedHoe · 04-01-2005, 05:33 AM

Anybody who knows me can definitely attest to what people are talking about above. I never drank in high school and swore up and down on my grave it wouldn't happen. One fall trip to IU my freshman year of college and I've been partying ever since! If you go to a place like IU and want to be social, you will party end of story.

For people who say they won't I respect you because I was the same way, but face it unless you have strong religious convictions 95% of conventional people have had a little bit to much to drink at one point or another.

Thank you very much. I know it wasnt exactly a statement in my behalf but in general but its nice to hear someone say its possible.

BDH, you know me. If I dont want to drink than I wont.

Yeah I'm sure I will go to parties here and there but I'll never be one of those crazy party girls. Thats not my personality at all.

...because if you've ever been in the social scene in college, you know that's an impossible thing to do, unless you're a frickin nun, and even then i'm sure it's pretty damn tempting.

farawayfromhere · 04-01-2005, 11:00 AM

Oh hell yeah its tempting. I'm not denying it. One of my best friends goes to BSU and has become what I've been told a 'drunken slut' and I never would have imagined. But can you argue that if its something I dont want to do then the best thing I can do is protest up and down that I wont vs. just giving in and saying I will. I bet I'll have a fighting chance if I fight while I can.

i don't have strong religious convictions at all. in fact, i have no convictions when it comes to religion. i just realize that alcohol is a waste of time and not half of what everybody says it is.

Do you think being sober is more fun than being drunk?

What was her statement defiant of? Ignorance? Like the ignorance you keep displaying?

Why are you making obviously false statements like:

Entirely inaccurate. Now if you mean of the people who go to parties, all of them drink, that will be a little more accurate, but still not true. Three really good friends of mine, Titan, big mike, and a guy we'll call Rob come out and party with us all the time, and never drink. One is religious, but the other two are quite nonreligious. And all are well over 21. And thats just three immediate examples.

I realize that a large majority of college students drink, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to not drink, even if you go to parties where drinking is involved. Don't assume that just because something is true for you that its true for everyone else. To each his own.

No. That she basically said she would never party. I was merely saying most people do.

Oh really, is that what I basically said?

You know Blonde, you are really starting to irritate me. I do not enjoy being in the presence of an over-confident, arrogant, know-it-all. I know most people drink in college but you even admited yourself that not everyone does and for some reason it must be completely intangable for you understand that I may in fact not become a hard-core drinker.

Saint DH · 04-01-2005, 02:37 PM

I go to college and I never drink. Alcohol has never touched my lips. Just kidding. I drink to excess probably 3 or 4 times a month.

Although I've been drunk twice this week already. When the warm weather hits, I go a little crazy.

To say "impossible" is to be ignorant of what is possible, which judging from you posts, apparently you are. Seeing that you are refering more to "partying" (whatever that is), I should specify that my comments are directed toward the "drinking" aspect of things. So if partying=drinking, then my statements stand, because the examples I've given obviously prove that wrong. Otherwise we're arguing about different things, I think. Clear things up for me.
