SPRING BREAK!

Five years ago my friends and I were sitting around counting down our remaining PSU days. With classes like MATH 004 (literally - the first lesson was adding positive and negative integers), our days existed mostly of reminiscing, playing volleyball on the court we had out back, drinking, and bemoaning all of the bar tours that were taking place around town. The Senior Bar Tour, to us, was the epitome of douchiness - Joe Student and his friends get together and wear their popped polos and slightly tinted RayBan aviators. On top of that, literally, they wear shirts that have been screen printed to show what bars they are going to. Epic douche move.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good bar tour. We organize one every year in Hartford, CT with a new theme each time (last year was crazy hat - I came in second place after wearing a girl's T-ball helmet all night). However, in our view, the Penn State Senior Bar Tour was, as stated, epic douche. So we decided to do something about it. We did any good Penn State crew would do - we organized a bar tour. Do I contradict myself? Very well. I contradict myself. We upped the douchiness to a whole new level, wearing multiple popped collars, wristbands, and aviators. We made our shirts, only ours were plain T's with magic marker on them and clever names and numbers so that we could distinguish each other.

Now, five years later, we are returning to the scene of the crime. To make a long story a little bit longer, we decided to make it this weekend as all the students are on Spring Break this week, so the town will be a little less crowded and we can act a fool with a little more room. That being said, I'd like to invite anyone in and around town to join this celebration of douchiness. I'm not sure where we'll be and what time we'll be there, but if you're in town, throw on a plain T, scribble some clever bar tour phrase "Gettin Pissy Drunk Bar Tour '96!" and head out on the town. Maybe we'll run into each other and share some 2010 recruiting gossip. Or maybe you'll see one of my idiot friends doing something they shouldn't be. Either way, good times will be had by all.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs. And you may further use this post to discuss the best Spring Break moments of your Penn State history.
