things you shouldn't do the 1st semester of freshman year:
try to get into a party. Parties are mostly hosted by frats/sororities, and just to tease you, they won't let you in. Maybe by second semester when they don't care you might get in.
Oh, and if you've never tried alchohol before, don't start in college. 90% of the time, the college setting will pressure you to binge drink and you'll just F yourself up. My advice is either be on a strong stand to not drink alchohol (like me) or know your body's limit before you come to college. 3 days ago, a freshman kid managed to get some booze for the first time and went to the ER for alchohol poisoning.
and fellas, don't go the first day and be like "oh I got to find me some hot chicks" Ok zeheng? It's an instant turnoff because at the first few weeks of school, no girl is looking for some flirty time. they just want to hang out and get as many friends as possible. And if they invite you to their dorm, it's not a sex offer zeheng. most of the time there will be like 3 other girls there or something.

I like how you directly talk to Zeheng at this point.

you've never ridden a bike?!

:haha:

thanks, i'll keep it in mind. in the back of my mind. when im in that dorm roommmm!

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

He said ride a back, not a bike.


>_________>

I swear Alan, did you edit my post....>_>

No, you're that crappy at typing.


(srsly)

ahaha. It's true. About the alcohol thing. Lots of stupid people, especially girls whose parents never let them out of the house for fear of them being taken advantage of, get really drunk the first time they go to college and meet someone who has alcohol, and have to be taken to the hospital. Or there are other people who puke after like...one beer.

They don't really teach you this in high school but you kind of need to do things before you drink. Like...eat something. Drink a lot of water. Take a few ibuprofens and/or a sudafed. Drink more water. Snack. Drink more water.

Oh, and I hate it when people use alcohol as an excuse for their behavior. Like, most people actually remember what they did when they were drunk. I swear, you could just give me a lot of sugar and it would do the same exact thing. I'm pretty sure most people are conscious while drunk.

cough. Zeheng, don't go around raping girls.

Wouldn't have to remember all of that if you did one thing, DON'T DRINK IN THE FIRST PLACE! :rapidfire: :drunk:

Okay, Don't Judge.

It's COLLEGE.

And whether you go to Harvard, to MIT, to UO or to Kalamazoo, there will always be alcohol around.

You don't have to drink it. I don't really drink that much. But people do. It's college. And no one ever teaches these people who do that they need to be careful. And then the first big party comes and goes and too many people get sick or do stupid things, EVERY YEAR.

Someone needs to tell people how to drink safely, if they're going to do it.

This is why we teach everyone in high school about condoms and birth control even though many of them aren't actually going to have sex in high school.

exactly. You're more of an idiot than you think when you are in college.

Remember the guy I talked about that had alcohol poisoning in the first few days of school? Well he got alcohol poisoned again this last weekend.

:haha:

my sentiments (on the alcohol/consciousness) exactly. perhaps i should try for myself and find out...

:P just kidding! i detest alcohol. smells revolting.

I agree, it smells atrocious.

Except when you're boiling bratwurst and onions in beer before barbecuing them. That actually smells good (at least when my dad does it) because of all the onion and other flavoring he puts into it... Good 'ole midwest cooking!

Don't judge when you're confessing to breaking the law and being irresponsible? That's like sticking a pie in front of a dieter and telling them not to eat it. We'll judge all right, we'll judge as harshly as we want.

That said, just because it's available and 'some' people use it, doesn't mean that you have to - that's just giving into peer pressure and (at your age and ours) a crime, pure and simple.

But on that hand, I've got to stop stressing over other people doing bad things (and potentially killing themselves) and focus on minding my own business. That said, just don't post pictures of yourself drinking on Facebook.

And with that, I'll try and get the image of Mariko as a crazy, drunken, party girl out of my head.

:huh:

i lol at the thought of that. xD

I was going to respond to that but I'm too ****ing tired. Not because I'm drunk, mind you. But because of debate. And not because I'm drunk because of debate, mind you, but because I'm trying to work out relations between schools and it's kicking my ***. Maybe when I'm like...awake and thinking. Later. ish.

I wouldn't bother responding. Some opinions are just dead-set. :P

aww, poor mariko. i keep telling you that you either need to sleep or somehow get your mind off of all of that.

but w/o the use of alcohol.

mmm... soma...

Mmmm.... Boba....

*applause*

I swear michael has the least useful posts on average of all regular posters.

I swear Alan's admin powers should be stripped for accessive abuse. Such as the altering of text and slandering of others. Hi! I'm Michael and I don't know what I'm talking about!!! I snort cocaine and beat children. Then I make THEM snort what's left of my cocaine. Then I beat them again for snorting MY cocaine. It's a vicious circle I guess.

i should get admin rights for the LD thread. xD

You heard the man, Ferris. Take away my admin powers now.





o wait lulz i gots non

We all know he meant Mod powers.

He means what he says. Silly republicans, putting words into others' mouths.


Oh and Michael, what're you talking about? The only thing of yours that I modded was that French thing. And anyone who's been on these boards know that speaking in French is a moddable offense.

Here, I'll even cite precedence from the admin:

Using French is an offense punishable by death.

xD +1

[We're not kidding]

XDXDXDXD

-.- SINCE WHEN?

And my slander statement still stands.

Good job Michael! Oppressing those smaller than you is the best way to feel taller!

Slander isn't an abuse of anything except other people. If I weren't a mod I'd still slander people all the time o___o. Michael, you're just retarded, shut up.

Clearly you haven't read George's rules and boundaries thread.

Of course I have. I made up half of that BS.

Ctrl+F Slander = Not Found.

GG. Go to hang-out and whine some more if you're still PMSing, don't make this topic worse than you've made it already.

:down: <---- that but a different figure is being held up.

zehang why should you be the LD mod?

cuz i enjoy power, why else?

xD

no zehang well I truly appreicate your honesty the question is not why you want to be mod but rather why you deserve to be mod.

Dude they have boba in Amherst now. Dudeeeeee. I almost got it, but decided to go spend money on thai food for dinner instead. Yum.

No good boba in UCLA ;_;
