Every spring, I dream of the legendary 5 day parties my fraternity threw…..and sob silently, because now I’m old.

Man, I’m finding myself agreeing with JayPa more and more.

I’m not going to condemn the kids for wanting to celebrate St. Patty’s Day. I’m not a hypocrite. I just hope the morning afters are as hilarious for them as they were for me (i.e. Went to FIJI Island, got home and woke up fully dressed in my bed with a red plastic crab underneath me where I still have no idea where it came from)

alcohol existed before the current generation? I thought we invented it and learned how to exploit it all on our own. Now you’re telling me that young people + alcohol has resulted in hilariously stupid, yet fun ideas for all of recorded history? I’m socked, SHOCKED, I tell you!

I grew up on my parent’s fond memories of the the goldfish parties and the Phi Psi 500. Sounded fun to me.

to the sound of screaming people at 9 am. Which is inevitably what happened today. I don’t care that people want to drink all day, but State Patty’s Day tends to bring out the worst in people and it’s embarrassing. Don’t get me wrong, I love to party just as much as anyone else here, but I feel like a lot of students use this day as an excuse to act like an idiot.

The Phi Psi 500 and the Regatta, were something. St. Patick’s Day, hell even football games, are excuses to drink all day. I think what rubs people wrong about State Patty’s Day is that they don’t even bother with an excuse.

my mother used to chastise me all the time for my college stories…until details from her sorrid past surfaced. haven’t heard a peep since.

guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Do they still hav that at the Skellar? Kill your liver to benefit Special Olympics, I think that was the charity. We didn’t care who it was for. The Skellar opened at 9 a.m. and by 11:15 my roommate and I (both of us female, under 5’2 & 120 lbs) had finished our first case of nips. Ah the good old days. :) Of course the difference between generations as I see it, is that we used to just go buzz munch and go home (ok, maybe a random hook up too), but today there seems to be a lot more violence and stupid behavior (dating back to the Arts Fest debacle). Is it so hard to behave civilly with a belly full o’ beer? Happy State Patty’s Day to all!
