The college party is an iconic part of the college experience; it absorbs the weekends of students everywhere. Here is a little beginners guide on how to go about the life of partying…
Lesson 1:
You'll need to travel off-campus to find most parties because the confined living space and regulations of dorms aren't really helpful for partying. Some of the biggest parties at any college are those hosted by fraternities and sororities, but usually you're going to need an invitation to get in. The best way to find out about parties is to keep a wide circle of friends and keep an ear open for the latest news. Some college students walk around student neighborhoods until they find a party, and then they just go right in. Others start out at one party they're invited to, and ask everyone there where the big parties are that night. Be careful you don't get so worried about where to find the next party, though, you never take the time to enjoy the one you're currently attending.
College parties vary from school to school, but typically range from crowded basements, huge entire house parties (in a fraternity house) or huge outside blow-outs. College parties can be off campus, in frat houses, or any student’s house. Some college party’s choose one of the many college party themes to make the party a little more interesting, which is always fun.
As college students get older, it gets easier to get into college parties. Experience is the key, if you like to party find other people who like to party as well, and you stay in the loop. Good-looking freshman girls usually know where all the parties are, because upper classmen guys love to tell them where the party is.
If you are a large group of guys with few or no girls, chances are you wont get in, especially later in the night. Break up into smaller groups, and guys should try to always roll to parties with girls anyway. As it gets later in the semester, college students should have a good feel of where they like to go, and where they know they can get in.
Being involved in things at school will help you meet people and find out what college parties people are going to. Be friendly to everyone, because you never know whom you will run into. If fraternities and sororities are big at your school, join one. If that’s not your thing join a club or organization. Do something to get out there and meet people. The more people you know the better your college experience will be .
Lesson 2:
Every college party is different, but there are usually some standard things across most college parties. Typically one or many kegs are involved, drinking games are being played, and college students are enjoying sharing cold refreshing beer, he most common drink at a college party. A keg is usually the easiest way to provide beer to a large group of people. Kegs are pretty much a must for a college party (especially if you want to do keg stands). They are useful because they are the cheapest way to buy large quantities of beer. Kegs are also helpful for cleanup; plastic cups are a lot easier to clean up then broken bottles. Liquor and mixed drinks can get expensive, but they're certainly a popular option (don’t ever leave your drink unattended).
Random Tips:
*Unless there is a blizzard, leave the jacket at home, carrying it is a pain, and so is trying to find it in a locked room later on that night.
* If you go to a school where you have to pay to drink, don't complain about paying $5 to drink all night.
*Pre-game a lot before you go out and you will have your "beer jacket" on (the alcohol will keep you warm).
*Don't argue or fight with the people running the party. It does not matter how right or wrong you are, it’s their party, they make the final decision of weather or not you are getting in. Chances are they have a lot of friends inside who are all liquored up and just waiting to get into a fight.
*If your college has parties in dirty basements, choose your foot ware accordingly. It's usually a good idea to designate a few pair of shoes as “party shoes" to be sure you don't ruin good ones. If you decide to wear sandals be prepared to have your feet look like you're a homeless person.
